This is great, but I would recommend building the panels separately and attaching the wire before erecting the construct as its less tricky to attach wire when its on the floor.
Been considering this for ages as i have 8 house cats, this has been a massive inspiration and will start buying the materials each month now, thank you
I really want to thank you for this video! This is something I've been promising to do every Spring for almost 10 years but in my head, I over-complicate things. You made it look SO easy!!! We started our list of supplies for when it gets warm out!!
I do the same thing, it looks pretty easy, the cost of materials look about the same a one you can buy and you can customize it to your liking, I definitely think this is going to be my next project.
That is so awesome, I'm going to ask my neighbor to help me, I know it will be a weekend job and definitely save a lot of money by doing it myself, thanks for your inspiration,
The catio turned out really nice 👍 I loved it. I want to try this out for my daughter’s three cats. I was looking for some idea to make my own. You did a great job 👏👍
I went to pinterest and found your video. I'm really interested in something like this for my 4 indoor cats. I will try to do it as soon as possible. your cats are beautiful and your dogs the same,
@@lifewithanimals12 And we finished it! It looks pretty much like yours, really. Still need to work on some shelves for the cats to have fun and relax and other details, but is working out fine so far, cats are happy and safe. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow awesome!! Good job doing that:) I’m sure your cats gonna just want to stay there day and night all day from now on haha. I’m glad I could help others little bit in anyway! 🙌🏻
wow thats really helpful! i adopted three cats from the streets and my grandma dont let them live with us inside the house so im gonna build a catio for them!
Anyone building a Catio should make sure you have a door tall enough for you to walk through if your cat(s) is an escape artist. I built a Catio 8ftx8ftx8ft, which now houses 5 cats. I was lucky to find a 6 foot wooden framed screen door at Lowes that had been discounted due to a hole in the screen. The Catio cost me just short of $500.00, but it is larger than any I would have bought. My next Catio I will be using a 10'6 x 10'6 Metal Gazebo frame, which I can easily attach wire to. The roof will be the hardest part due to the angle cuts needed.
Not sure if you anchored it to the ground, but l would. I'd also add some diagonal bracing for strength. But you did an amazing job, the cats look happy in their new space.
Thank you so much for this video I'm currently moving and my new roommate is allergic to cats and I don't know what to do with my three little ones. This definitely gave me an idea ♥️
I would have a Catio if I had a house. Without a doubt. But I would go for putting a "Slap Door" near the floor where they could go in and out as they choose. You'd have to cut a section of the house out, but what the hay! Happy cats are healthy cats.
@@paulanderson7796 Ya no way .. we live next to a state park and rarely any strays make it here. We’ve witnessed many brutal incidents of pets even during daylight.. No residents here leave their pets roam outside freely.. they DO NOT STAND A CHANCE. We don’t take that lightly in our neighborhood
We have about 9,000 sq lawn or more ,and a 2000 sq house near Corvallis Oregon. We bought it for $370 it's a PawHut About 71x39x71 at Overstock in sale. At Amazon was $409 we have to make some modification add L brackets and a Clear PVC Roof we have one cat color grey , and six small dogs rescue . Great job about using 2x2 lumber.
This looks perfect. Thanks for posting. I keep being told by handymen that it must be anchored to the ground and use 2x4s for strength. Is this free-standing and what keeps it from shifting away from the cat door or window? Thank you to poster or any commenters who can answer this.
Mine isn’t anchored and it’s free standing. I run pet business and always have guest dogs and they jump on the catio when my cats are out in there. But it’s very steady and heavy they can’t move it at all. And for me to move it I need another strong person to push it together! It’s been almost 2 years but it’s been good with any rain and wind we got in LA..! I used corner braces on each corner that’s why it doesn’t shift :)
@@lifewithanimals12 Thanks for taking the time to reply. The weight keeps it in place so long as the ground is pretty level, That's great. I had a handyman build me a rather small one and that cost me 100 in materials (I painted it) and 100 in labor. It is wedged between the house wall and a cinder block wall 2 ft away and dug into the ground some. I still need a big one for the front window so I am considering your nice design. Thanks again.
How much did it cost you. We just got two kittens and I want to make them a catio by my daughter's window and add a little cat door on the window so they can come in and out.
I know I am a little late to the party. Great video share because it is inspirational. We have the power to acomplish. My only question/concern is, how did you anchor the catio to the ground? In some climates, wind is no joke.
I didn’t anchor to the ground but it’s heavy enough dogs or other animals can’t move it at all and to move it I’ll need at least 2 strong adults haha. We just had really bad wind storm last wknd but my catio was totally fine:)
It’s not quiet but I had to redo my roof as water kept stucking in the middle and broke it one day. After that I put new roof on my catio then also set up a tarp above the catio so the water will go down from my roof to the side of catio. Good luck for yours!
Yeah sorry I got all the stuff from Home Depot tho. And only reason I didn’t use 2x2 is cus the shop I went to get supplies didn’t have them in stock haha
Thank you!! I got about 26-30 lumbers and got 3 wide ones for shelves:) It’s not attached to the wall so if I want to I can move it. But it’s strong/heavy enough so cats or dogs won’t be able to move it!

For a woman who made a Catio, surely loves her pet. May more people like you.
This is great, but I would recommend building the panels separately and attaching the wire before erecting the construct as its less tricky to attach wire when its on the floor.
Love that you’re one dog is helping and the other one is supervising.
😂😂
Well done girl, you nailed it, what’s more important is that the kitties love it.
Cat owners do this I did and it was the best thing I've ever done for them they use it at all times and Love It !!
How much did yours cost?
Looks great and you did it all by yourself, you go girl! 💪🏼
Thank you!! 💪🏻💪🏻
Been considering this for ages as i have 8 house cats, this has been a massive inspiration and will start buying the materials each month now, thank you
Great job , your cats will love it. Have fun kitty's
❤❤❤❤
You did a FABULOUS JOB, and to add to that, I agree, your fur babies are Precious!!!
Thank you!!

Same here. My barbies need this so much
You are one clever Lady, hope you are proud of yourself because I am proud of you. Lucky cats
Thank youuuu❤
Good old Home Depot! You are indeed smart shoppers for our kitties!😊
You motivate me to try and make my own now Awesome job!
Thank you!! Your cat will love you for it! It’s totally worth it:)
It's super easy...anyone can do it. Tons of different materials can be used. Completely necessary if you have kitties. They love it.
Thank you for sharing your world with me :)
Your pups were so much help!!!!😝 But they are super cute!!!
Great job and very useful video! Thank you 👍
I also have to do these things without help, so thank you for an inspiring video!

Ahh amazing 😍 i got 15 cats n 4kittens rn need to buy new catio but it so expensive so i decide to make it my own thanks for the quote

Yes my cats looooove it!

Great I'm sure they will love it. Good luck!!

ThAnks I’m building one just like yours 🙌🏽

I ❤ it... I'd love it for my cats. I don't have concrete floor.
Well Done!
Great job!
well done!~
Good job!
Thank you 😊

Hi! How would I anchor the catio to the ground? Any tips?
at first i was like what hte hell is going on inside that window. then i realized it was a reflection lol
Oh! Lol I didn’t even realize that 😂
I'm going to build this for Autumn, Bathsheba & Shelby
This is so awesome, and you make me feel like I could actually do this myself!
If I could do it, I do believe you can too! Good luck =)
Great work!!! I want to do something like this for my cat, quote i was given is so expensive!
Yap exactly that's why I did it by myself and I'm proud I did =)
Thank you so much for this video I'm currently moving and my new roommate is allergic to cats and I don't know what to do with my three little ones. This definitely gave me an idea ♥️

Exactly! Just do whatever you can to make them happy 😊 I’m sure they appreciate it!
They are probably fine with the window flap door.
I love this! I have 4 cats and one dog and truly want to build one myself. But we get coyotes here and I am debating this.
Let your cats roam freely. Coyotes haven't made cats extinct. They can get through gaps that coyotes can't. And they can climb extremely quickly.

What a handy-woman💪🏻
Nice job
Good job 🙂
Nicely done. It's huge! Now, I want to do one🤗 Just not so large, and maybe mobile🤔
Love cat-dog families
Brilliant 👍
We have about 9,000 sq lawn or more ,and a 2000 sq house near Corvallis Oregon. We bought it for $370 it's a PawHut About 71x39x71 at Overstock in sale.

Thank you. This was very helpful. Did you secure it to the house.
Nope I didn’t! But it’s heavy any animals won’t be able to move it :)
Wow ! I never seen women doing this kind of nice work..I like your video, I go ahead give you a thumb up and subscribe your channel.
Thank you!!
Nice job, yes carpenters might scoff at build but you got it done for a fraction of the cost and it will last long enough.
Yes it’s been almost 2 years and it’s still in good shape 🙂
good job...good momma
Good job.
Can you list all materials please? Looks amazing!!
How long did this project take and what was over all cost for materials
The furbabies seemed to approve of it.
This looks perfect. Thanks for posting. I keep being told by handymen that it must be anchored to the ground and use 2x4s for strength. Is this free-standing and what keeps it from shifting away from the cat door or window? Thank you to poster or any commenters who can answer this.

Do you have wood measurements for the smaller pieces?

About how much did you spend?
great job. Maybe its just an illusion but it looks like you have the corrugated roof angled back towards the house?
Which is cheaper? Doing it yourself or already buying am "assemble" one?
For sure doing it yourself! The ones you can buy for $500-700 is much smaller than mine :)
This was great!
Thank you 😊
Loved watching this! Do you have a list of the materials you bought? I figure I’d just go to the store with your list! 😅
Awww unfortunately I don’t have the list just I kinda showed all the stuff I got in the video tho..! I hope you can make one for your cat :)
Looks amazing but how does the door lock?
My cheap ahh could never spend that much, I’ll look for a cheaper way to do it!
wow, great job! Is the rain loud when it hits the PVC roof panels? I wasn't sure if I should get them or use wood. Thanks.
It’s not quiet but I had to redo my roof as water kept stucking in the middle and broke it one day. After that I put new roof on my catio then also set up a tarp above the catio so the water will go down from my roof to the side of catio. Good luck for yours!
Wow! Very impressive. What did you paint the wood with?
It’s wood sealer for water protection!
i've seen the 2x4 ripped in half...seems to be 2x cheaper. would be cool to link supplies. :)
Yeah sorry I got all the stuff from Home Depot tho. And only reason I didn’t use 2x2 is cus the shop I went to get supplies didn’t have them in stock haha
Looks awesome! Thus is exactly what I wanna build. How many boards did you use? Did you attach the structure to the wall?
Thank you!! I got about 26-30 lumbers and got 3 wide ones for shelves:) It’s not attached to the wall so if I want to I can move it. But it’s strong/heavy enough so cats or dogs won’t be able to move it!
Hi, Great cat house. Do you have a materials list for sale that you can share?
