Thread: Outdoor cat enclosures

We used the welded mesh on our pen it seems to be a lot stronger ,our front frame is 6ft square,sorry only know the old way,originally only had one upright & one baton across to support it but have had to put stronger strutts & increase it to two down as one boy has taken to climbing it & two thirds the way up lets go with one front paw & just hangs swinging on it with other front paw & pushing himself with his back feet,no problem to him just a bendy frame & heart attack nearly for mum first time she saw it & more work for dad to make it stronger. When we first built ours cats could get into our back garden so we done a two foot wooden spit guard at the base of the pen to help protect but now garden is cat proofed not so essential but I still like the look of it so hubby will have to continue the maintinance on it & talking of cat pens sun shining bright here so now going out to give ours a spring clean,all beds already in the wash,have fun planning & building yours,we did....
