Step One

What size catio do I need?

First, decide where you would like your catio to be located. If it will be positioned against your house, measure the height of any adjoining back doors or patio doors to ensure a proper fit.

Catios are usually installed on hard-standing surfaces, such as paving or decking, though many people also choose to incorporate grassy areas. If your catio will be placed on gravel, your cats should have supervised access to prevent them from digging.

Finally, measure the length and width of the area you would like your catio to cover. These measurements will help determine the most suitable size for your space and your cats’ needs.

Step Two

How many gates will I need?

Think about the points from which you would like to access the catio. If your catio is accessed directly from the house, you may choose not to include any access gates. If your catio is freestanding, you will need at least one access gate.

The internal width of a standard gate is 740 mm. If you need to move furniture or other large items that exceed this width in and out of the catio, it is advisable to temporarily detach the mesh and reattach it once the furniture has been moved.

Step Three

Choose enrichment features

Adding enrichment to your catio is a great way to make the most of the vertical space, allowing your cat to leap, jump, climb, run, or simply relax.

Our enrichment range can be attached directly to a wall. Cat bridges and shelves require support every 1.2 metres, so if you plan to attach these to one of the mesh sides of the catio, you may wish to purchase a catio enrichment post for additional stability and support.

Step Four

Measure twice, order once

Before ordering, double-check:

Your catio size: total height, length, and depth.

Internal measurements: pay close attention to internal dimensions to ensure there’s enough clearance around existing doors and windows.

The number of gates you require.

Enrichment options: any packages such as cat shelves, cat bridges, lookout platforms, outdoor cat beds, and support posts.

Freestanding or wall-mounted flexibility

Use it freestanding or attach it to your home: simply leave the sides you’re fixing to unmeshed.

Gates exactly where you want them

Position gates on any side, add none or multiple, total control over access and layout.

Made to fit your space perfectly

Fully customisable sizing: use a hacksaw to cut posts down to the exact dimensions your space requires. Simply spray post ends with a black primer to maintain corrosion protection.

FAQs

ProtectaPet DIY Catios are supplied with upright supports at 2.4m intervals. If you plan to add enrichment features such as shelves or bridges, additional support posts should be installed every 1.2m to ensure these features are safely and securely supported.

Attaching a catio to your house is simple with the right components. If your home has brick walls, you can securely fix the cat enclosure frame using ProtectaPet® bespoke “top hat clips,” designed specifically for safe and stable installation.

ProtectaPet® offers a range of modular components that make it easy to attach catios and cat enclosures directly to your home, ensuring a seamless fit, reliable security, and a professional finish.

In most cases, catios are not considered permanent structures and therefore typically do not require planning permission. However, regulations can vary depending on your location and specific circumstances.

Requirements may differ based on whether the catio is installed in your front or rear garden, as well as local planning rules. For accurate guidance, it’s always recommended to contact your local authority to confirm the requirements for your specific project.

Yes, our Catios don't have to be fitted to Patio but we have modular fittings enabling you to secure the steel frame to whichever ground type there is. For softer ground such as soil or gravel, we recommend using groundspikes to secure the posts in place.
