FAQs

Yes! A brief survey of our online reviews will demonstrate our success rate. ProtectaPet products have kept over 37,000 cats safe in the UK. While we don’t guarantee to keep your cat in your garden, if our customers do encounter any problems, we will work with them to find a solution. Please take a look at our reviews.

Cats will explore all possibilities of getting out so we can install cat tree barriers to prevent cats from escaping or accessing birds' nests. Trees can be secured using a range of methods depending on their breadth and proximity to the boundary. Please get in touch for advice specific to your garden.

While cats do not usually have the physical capability to climb over the barrier from inside the garden, they do have the physical ability to jump the barrier from on top of the fence. However, most cats will see that there is no exit from the garden and choose not to enter. Our customers report that neighbour’s cats tend to choose not to enter their gardens because they cannot see an escape. If you are leaving your garden unsupervised while going on holiday for instance, it is a good idea to leave an escape route for any cats that might enter (a wheelie bin against the fence is a good solution).

ProtectaPet cannot offer planning advice because regulations vary by area. Generally speaking, cat fencing solutions are not permanent structures and are below 2m in height. Please keep in mind that planning regulations in front gardens and in conservation areas are more restrictive. We advise you to contact your local authority for advice specific to your circumstances.

ProtectaPet recommends that you always contact your neighbours to gain permission to install a barrier. However, the installation process does not usually require access to the neighbours’ gardens. Installing a cat fence barrier has a positive impact on your neighbours: your cat won’t be leaving faeces in their flower beds and if they have cats too, you are minimising the risk of conflict. As can been seen from the photographs, the visual impact from their side of the garden is negligible. After use, our fencetop barrier system is removable and the only evidence would be the remaining screw holes, which can be filled. If your neighbour would not like anything attaching to their fence, we can install our freestanding system in front of the fence.

Yes. We design solutions for hedged, open, and uneven gardens using enclosures or freestanding systems.

Fence brackets are generally low maintenance, as they have no moving parts and are designed for long-term outdoor use. Nevertheless, you do need to remove fallen snow and leaves and keep plants well trimmed.

We use the highest quality materials including tanalised timber, UV stable mesh and galvanised steel to prolong the life and durability of your system. In heavy snowfall, as a precaution, we suggest that you remove the snow from the mesh.

We have not tested this cat fencing against the capabilities of foxes and therefore we can only say that the barrier may deter foxes from jumping over your fence, though it is unlikely to stop them.
