I'm so glad I stumbled unto your amazing video. This cat retreat is so inspiring to me. I have the perfect spot in my backyard. I had 4 kitties born under my house and they have never left that spot. The mom flew the coop, but the bambinos stayed. Wait till my husband sees this!!! He thinks I'm crazy, but we know we are CatCrazy!! 😅 Thanks
@OurCatioHome what a beautiful safe hang our fir your babies. If i may ask how much did it coat? Like for all the main things needed like the wood and fencing and cement and all the important things that were needed to make this happen? I hope it's ok to ask this question. If not I understand. I'm wanting to build one for my 1 cat and also build a nice big one like yours for my sisters cats. So I'm trying to get an idea of what to use and how to build it and honestly what it was cost or close to what it will cost. Any thing you can help with would be awesome and very much appreciated by me and my sister. ❤
Hello Marlee, Thank you for the visit and question. Most of the cost for this was our hired help. The materials were around $500 - 700, but most of the roof was free. You can always start with a smaller catio, and enlarge it later. I hope that this helps you and your sister. Please keep in touch'; ok?
Humans will do more for their animals than other humans. Really great catio. Appreciate both these humans for protecting their animals yet giving them outdoor satisfaction.
My heart is BURSTING with joy here watching THIS … 🥰❤️❤️❤️🥰 Buying lottery tickets TODAY …not something I usually “invest” in …as I gave up wine 7 years ago …dining out at restaurants… and my daily 2 cups of purchased Java…JUST TO FEED the feral colony that I have committed my heart “to” …along with the other 7 cats that live WITH me 💕😻🥰😻💕 I am teary eyed here watching this…in a GOOD WAY 😻🇨🇦😻
Wow Bobbie, we can hear your heart joyful beat, but please be careful with your cash. Thank you for being a kind and caring friend to all the sweet and needy cats near you. I believe that there is a special place in heaven for you. 🙏🏻😇
I love how your kitties were already trying out the features before you had finished building them. 😺 My cats did that with their cat tree. They just knew it was for them.
What a cheeky little raccoon! This was an absolutely incredible project and I love how you all worked together to create an absolute kitty cat outdoor paradise! Like 52 :)
It is so amazing all the details and thought that had been put into building the Catio. Jackson Galaxy would love this! Thanks for sharing the details to this wonderful creation. 💕🐈🐈⬛🐈💕
I love watching how it was made! LOL a raccoon got to test it out before the cats! That was great work. And the best part of all was seeing the gorgeous kitties reactions to their ultimate play place!! 💕💕💕💕
Yes, you did plan it well and made it really perfect 👍👍👍👍👍 awesome to see how you created this kitty paradise ❤❤❤❤❤ kudos to you all and happy Easter 🤗😘🤗😘🤗
Fantastic job on the catio , we have a pergola that we will extend to our house & convert into the catio . Im excited to give them their own safe space
10 Minutes LoL, Thank You. Was your fence 10 ft. Tall? Appears so, worried about the Deer. I have My material to expand exciting Porch Catio. Praying for $$$, for labor help.🐱😇🙋
Wonderful project! Love the different textures on the ground. If you can buy a bird feeder (bird bath optional) 3-3/12 feet away might do. that they can watch close enough but not reach. It is the best cat tv.
Great looking project, only thing I would've done differently is to char all that lumber. wood stain helps but it can't protect against rot on parts buried + it'd give a great rustic look to the whole thing. charred wood can last 20-50yrs buried & 50-100 yrs exposed to the elements plus it keeps the wood hungry critters at bay, just a thought for next time.
@@OurCatioHome Sorry to be late to the party but i just found your channel, 😞. Will defo have a dive into your channel though as I'm thinking i need to do same. my place is small indoors & my cat fam really needs more space.
Thank you for this, it has given me some ideas. I see you don't put horizontal beams on the base, what if cats or other animals scratch their way out/in? Did I miss something? Thank you!
Hello Netanya and thank you for the visit. The catio is 6' x 72'. We are happy to share our ideas with anyone who want to build for the feline friends.
Fantastic Catio, did you have directions, or was this all creative ideas? I want to build a Catio for my babies. Please respond and let me know if you followed instructions or was this 100% putting it together yourself. Thank you 😊
thank you for this, this is simply amazing, I appreciate that you "think like a cat" when designing this. cat did not hesitate to rate it 12 out of 10. do you have additional treatment for the lumbers or based on your experience do they last long?
We appreciate you visit very much! Seeing the world through the cats eyes, always help me understand them and their needs 💝. We use pressure treated lumber, which will last years.
Hi Catio Home! How far apart did you set your 4×4s? My catio will be 24 feet long and I thought I would have a post every 12 feet. The catio will also start off attached to the wall of the house. Also, it looks like you attached the fencing to the inside of the catio. Correct? Thank you. ❤🙂
@@OurCatioHome I saw that was the length of the video but it was sped up I think and I thought you were saying that it only took 10 minutes to build the catio--I think it took longer than that to build it.

Such a great playground for the kitties. We’re still looking to add a sunroom that would be a dedicated space for our cats.
We will keep our fingers crossed for you in the meantime..

Oh you are so right Michelle. Sabrina just knew it was her perch. Meow!

You are so kind, and we agree too!
Kitties have great place. Well done. ....hope the neighbors, if any, are as happy as you are with it.

I love that it was a great family project, and the joy the kitties share with the end result, is the best payoff! Nicely done! 🙂

Hello Santos, the wire is buried and reinforced with 6" landscape staples. We hope that you will share your catio once completed.
10 days maybe not 10 minutes but that’s just beautiful for cats..We are building one this month..
Hey Vickie, good news about your project. Let us know. Hope that we could help.
Think the title is more referring to the video length.
Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Cute catio and thank you for listing the parts. Is it connected to your home? If not, is there a litter box for them to use
Yes and yes
Cute.
Beautiful, I love it. 💘
May I ask what the dimensions are?
Have you thought about selling the plans?
Recoup some of those labor costs? 😁
Hello Netanya and thank you for the visit. The catio is 6' x 72'. We are happy to share our ideas with anyone who want to build for the feline friends.
@@OurCatioHome
Thank you!
It looked like it was 6ft wide to me.
Love the patio pavers. 🙂
Hey Netanya, I have a video on how to make stencil pavers too, check out...easy project.
@@OurCatioHome Oh wow, thank you!!!
I definitely will check it out! 🙂♥️☮
Fantastic Catio, did you have directions, or was this all creative ideas? I want to build a Catio for my babies. Please respond and let me know if you followed instructions or was this 100% putting it together yourself. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for the visit! Just worked with our space and designed the catio to fit. Used a lot of brain cells imagining what should go where...

This is not a cat Patio; it's a cat Palace! Requiring a construction crew. But it IS lovely.
We thank you for the comment and visit today Alex!
Where are the cement tiles from?! They’re so cute!!
Ohhh, so glad you asked. We stenciled them see this video for instructions th-cam.com/video/ZDiPkcPCQ64/w-d-xo.html
@@OurCatioHomethank you!!
Pls come build one 4 my cats!!😂
Ok, be right over, heheheheeee
Hi Catio Home!
How far apart did you set your 4×4s?
My catio will be 24 feet long and I thought I would have a post every 12 feet. The catio will also start off attached to the wall of the house.
Also, it looks like you attached the fencing to the inside of the catio. Correct?
Thank you. ❤🙂
Excited for you Izabela! We did 8' to 8'. Fencing all around and behind the fence panels. Pls keep us posted about your project, ok?
@@OurCatioHome Thank you♥️🙂
Where did you buy the staple gun
amazon.
@OurCatioHome what's it called I've been looking everywhere for one but people tell me they need compressors which is very expensive
This great but how to do this when this is wat out my budget?
Hello Roberta. I don't have all the answers perhaps making half the size of a catio would help?
those are 90 degree angles. 45 degree angles would not be square but rather triangular
Right you so are Phyllis. Thank you for catching that oversight.
@@OurCatioHome hahaha, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
Won't the wood eventually rot and break over time when exposed to rain/sun/snow?
Thank you for the visit and question. All the lumber is pressure treated lumber therefore it should be more reliable in the coming years.
How many cats do you have??
Hello, we have 4. How many do you have?
@@OurCatioHome 10 cats
Wow!!!!! You have your hands full for sure.
✅️😊
I just realized that the "night inspector" wasn’t a cat!
That's funny; yep, Rockey is his name.
Can not understand why did u put plastic carpet instead of leaving the grass. Cats like eating grass
We appreciate your visit and comment.
*90° angle
Yep, oops on my part in the edit.
10 Minutes?
Yes Anne the video length, sorry this wasn't apparent. We hope that you will visit again.
@@OurCatioHome I saw that was the length of the video but it was sped up I think and I thought you were saying that it only took 10 minutes to build the catio--I think it took longer than that to build it.

10 minutes------what BS
