Frequently Asked Questions
Curious about the details? We’ve covered the most common questions from cat parents and their adventurous feline friends.
-
We are based in Aberfoyle Park, Adelaide SA and will travel to most suburbs in metro and outer regions.
If we are unable to service your area, we will offer recommendations for other local installers. -
The laws around stray & roaming cats are changing rapidly. The mindset towards cats is too.
When left to their own devices, cats will hunt wildlife, roam blocks, fight, get infections & are often at risk of their death. The new laws introduced surrounding cats are very positive, as it means more cats will be enclosed to a space where they can live safely, protected from these dangers. -
We install many types of enclosures. Most commonly requested is a side passage with a gate.
We also frequently install enclosures that are free-standing, on balconies, under pergolas as well as enclosing whole backyards.
You should check out the enclosures on our Instagram to see the many different types! -
We build most of our enclosures from galvanized & powdercoated steel. This makes up our gates, frameworks & more. We predominantly install Catnets netting on our enclosures, but in some circumstances galvanized mesh wire when required or requested.
We also use powdercoated aluminium in specific requirements like balconies or rental situations. -
Catnets offer a great quality product, guaranteed to still be at 80% of its capacity 10 years after install. I have witnessed and “refreshed” netting as old as 14 years which is still intact, with little need for repair or replacement. Most often it is replaced for cosmetic reasons than functionality.
-
We build these enclosures meticulously with your pets in mind to ensure they will not have an opportunity to escape. We want this to be their safe space, and we ensure there will not be any gap or space for them to crawl or climb out.
-
Most often, our enclosures will be completed on the single install day.
Some larger custom enclosures we will allocate an additional day/s to install and keep you aware of this. -
On average, our custom cat enclosures cost from AU$1800.00 to $3500.00.
Cat enclosures use a lot of materials, and we want to ensure your pet has a safe, reliable space to spend time outside. We pride ourselves on trying to keep our enclosures cost effective for our clients, and will try to find savings where we can. -
We are experienced cat enclosure installers, we are not builders. The extent of “construction” we engage in is limited to our enclosure framework. We do not consider ourselves builders or traditional tradesmen. We do not engage in building works or operate on building sites.
Our enclosures are considered non-structural, so our installations do not demand the same requirements or permissions as a home renovation. We provide outdoor enclosures often attached to existing buildings and/or freestanding enclosures on the property.
If there may be elements that would demand these requirements, we do not engage in these works. Our enclosures are intended to be simple, strong and a neat addition to your home, rather than an extension to your home.We recommend that you consult your neighbours and advise if we are intending to installing elements of the enclosure to a shared fence.
We do not install any enclosure elements to your neighbours property, but it is best to keep everybody informed to avoid any undue stress.
