This is by far the easiest to follow catio video i have seen and believe me, Ive seen alot. thank you for giving us the info for the size of boards we will need .. I love the clean and minimal style !!
Built my catio this weekend. Still have a few more things to do. This was a great video! Very easy. And, this thing is STURDY! I read a comment that it was flimsy, but that guy must have not followed instructions.
Wunderbar🤩 Vielen Dank für das super erklärte Video! Werde es jetzt im Frühjahr auch mit dem DIY Cat Patio probieren.😄😺😺😺😻
THE BEST DIY CATIO
Thank you!! ❤️
Perfect! Thanks for sharing!
This was a great video, straight to the point with a simple concept that can be scaled up quite easily. Thank you so much
Thanks! Yes, I was hopeful people would see the design as one that can be scaled to fit different spaces or window openings. Glad it was helpful!
This is very cute 😍
This is really good!
Fabulous
looks good..
I loveeeeeeeeee it😂
They turned out to be “ok”?
If she was a dog person previously, the difference in cats personality and care and interactions would be very noticeable!
I always hated cats. Found a kitten a few weeks ago and have grown to love her. Still prefer dogs but yeah she turned out to be ok not as bad as I thought lol
@ryleereynolds5710 Cat people rarely hate dogs, we love all animals, but cats are our favourites. But I have found many dog people say they hate cats. This is so awful. Historically, cats have had bad press as the companions of witches. But witches were usually wise women persecuted by the Church. Both women and cats got a bad name. It's really time we stopped saying 'I hate cats'. They are wonderful, intelligent, loving animals, different but also lovable like dogs.
@kalayne6713 - I have had both cats,& dogs in my life,&, I Love ❤️ both...
I will never understand people who “ hate” any animal. Great catio
I like these and I want to do this for my cat full-time but what do you do with bad weather i.e. rain and cold weather?
Can't access ur blog 😢 would love to try building one
Hi, I would love to know what are the measurements after assembly of your catio ? 🤗 Thank you for sharing ! I’m looking forward to build my own 😊⛏️
You can head to the link she provides, which gives all the measurements 😀
I love it and will use to help me make mine for balcony window. How did you attach triangular seats?
I screwed two 2x2 boards into the vertical studs on each wall. These formed a brace in each corner for the shelf to attach to. Then, I attached 1" thick boards (cut at 45 degree angles on each end) to the top by screwing from the top into those two corner brace boards.
Hi, does the supply list include the wood needed to build the door?
Hey, lovely design, but i am unable go access your blog. Could you please help out ?
Is treated lumber not toxic to the cats?
where do you buy the 1x2" treated boards ,,,,
What kind of door did you use for your window for the cat to get access to the catio?
hello may I know what did you use for installing the wire mesh to the frames?
im pretty sure she said staples in the video
Not easy job. Great 👍
Me crying like a baby then my dad took over.
@@Ravengameplay20 relatable
No access door? How did the inner shelf get attached? And the bench inside?
This is just a three-walled catio. You can see the back section is not closed off as she mentioned in the video, it's just against the house so the cats can't get out so I assume they used that opening to install the shelving and such before placing it against the house.
Cat access door is in the window. Human (or mini human) access door is on the right side.
Do you ever have any concerns with it blowing over in the wind. Asking because that’s my biggest concern with building mine
Good question. I was planning to attach each side with one screw per side, through my vinyl siding and into the plywood. But, I actually never did it, and it's hasn't gone anywhere in 3+ years. Because it's all mesh, I think the wind just goes right through it. Still, I'd recommend screwing into siding just to be on the safe side.
@@RefreshLiving I have an apartment so I think I’ll probably just use a heavy base like you did and the mesh was something I didn’t think about! Did you consider netting/finer mesh im afraid of a wasp getting trapped in with the cats. Also thanks 😊
What kind of screws did you use ?
Exterior deck screws to attach all wood boards together. Tek roofing screws to attach pvc roof to frame.
How much would you guesstimate the catio cost to build?
It was about $75 when I built it, but cost of lumber is more now. Using untreated lumber and just finishing with exterior grade stain to spend less than treated wood.
I got 12 1x2s instead of 2x2s
The audio is just horrible
