We found netting to be cheaper and less work than using chicken wire for the whole enclosure (less work because galvanised mesh needs to be properly washed before use for animal enclosures).

It needs to be strong enough that your cat can't break it and have a fine enough mesh that your cat can't get out through it. The cat netting should be UV stabilised so it doesn't deteriorate in the sun, and bite/scratch proof. Timber (cheap lengths and weighty sleepers) We where fortunate for our set up that the house is close enough to the fence on two sides of the property that we didn't need to enclose much area to allow the cat all the room that she needs.

With this simple home improvement we can protect our cat and give her a long and happy life. Living on a main road it became very apparent that if we didn't take action the same thing could very easily happen to our cat.

Our cat run was born out of nessasity and sadness as a family member's cat was recently hit by a car and passed away. Cat runs are the perfect way to let your cat enjoy the freedom of the outside world while keeping them safe from the dangers (cars, dogs, feral cats, etc.) and also keeping the outdoors safe from your cat (protecting wild birds, etc.).
