I just got a pair of roving mouse traps to help out with my vermin problem. But my problem was how to get the cats to stay here long enough to realize this really is home! This is a pair of rescue males. One was pretty sociable from the start. The other wants to be but just isn't quite sure yet. I couldn't see keeping the poor things in an oversized shipping crate for however long it takes for them to make this home. I wanted something that was comfortable and interesting for them. This fit the bill perfectly.I thought it might be a little light weight, but yesterday I had a dog fixate on the cats. He actually attacked the enclosure from many different sides before he could be pulled back under control. The cats were traumatized and shaken, but unharmed and the catio wasn't hurt in any way either. This catio saved their lives. Had the attack not been caught at the start, the outcome might have been different. But this was substantial enough to stand up to a lightning fast 60 lb. crazed dog long enough. If you have cats that are outside or even for small dogs, this is ideal.Once the cats have decided this is home, the little outside door can be slid up out of the way and latched in the open position so the cats can come and go as they please.To be completely honest here, this Large Sized catio is more expensive than I had wanted to go. The price for the unit itself was bad enough, but the extra $200.00 shipping seemed excessive. The dog kennel I have is much larger and heavier and yet it cost significantly less and shipping was free. No, it's not cute like the catio, so in a way it's apples and oranges...But is it really? I don't understand the shipping charges for this item. That is definitely something to consider when you are ordering.

We just moved and needed something fast for our three cats to get some outdoor time.Pros: for two amateurs, assembled in 6-8hrs, including unboxing time. Less than a day is good. 4 boxes are large but lightweight. Catio is easy to move for 2 adults after assembled. Real pine, smells fresh. Kind of customizable, can change order of bridges/platforms. The velcro'd tarp has stayed on through a couple of thunderstorms, impressive!Cons: Directions are TRASH. We did an extra 2+hrs of work because of contradicting and unclear instructions. Use the pictures, but know even they will be wrong sometimes. We had to force alignment of the roof pieces, wasn't too bad but still. Could not attach little box houses because holes for screws were not aligned (see pic).Note: you may want to put an extra barrier down if this sits on dirt or grass. Our cats pulled off an escape after a week and played in the yard for the day. We will put some wire down flat. To keep them from digging. Also, we built a platform to connect the house to the catio, so think about how you will attach it if you're doing an indoor outdoor set up like us. Overall, for a fast solution, I would recommend.

I did a ton of research before purchasing a “catio” and we needed one that was good for outdoors and would not be connected to our home. This one is perfect and our cat loves it! It came with all of the sections put together and we had to put together the sections. It’s definitely a two person job, because you need someone to hold the pieces together when screwing it together. Assembly was easy. It took about an hour to build and prep time was about fifteen minutes. It’s sturdy and has held up being outside all summer. We keep it in the shade, which probably helps. I definitely recommend thia product and would purchase again.

We use this for two cats so they have a nice safe outdoor space. Works great. They have room and two separate cubbies that we lined with some comfy material. Not the easiest to assemble. Very sturdy we have had no issues.

I have had professional catios built at two prior homes. Spending thousands of dollars on each. I now live in a small space and wanted a safe outdoor space for my two cats. This was on sale with $80 off but with the $200 shipping charge came to $676.00 for the 6X9 unit. I spent an additional $220 for the ground covering as it was just dirt. I leveled the dirt and installed a cloth ground cover to repel weeds topped with 1/2 yard of small gravel and then a nice astro turf on top. Had my handy man help me put it together as you need two people for an added cost of $200. So my total price was $1096.00. It took about 7 hours including prepping the area the unit would sit on.I don't think I could have gotten a nicer cat enclosure for this price point. The product is well made and if you take your time is very sturdy for two larger size cats. We made the entry point on the side as my house already had a cat door going from inside. I changed up the positions of the inside shelving and houses to suit my cats needs better and this was simple to do.It is plenty big enough for 2 cats and I believe up to 4-5 cats would be very happy in here. The directions can seem a bit odd as they were probably not written by an English speaking native. However if you take your time and read them a few times it gets easier.Two people are needed and I would not recommend moving the unit very far after it is built. We had to move it a coupe times about 6-8 inches and that was fine. Once the roof and supports are installed correctly the entire structor becomes a lot more sound and secure.I am not sure how weather proof it is as I just installed it. I am going to add a corrugated roof top to it later this fall so the cats can still enjoy it even if it rains.I highly recommend this product. Cat approved and all four boxes came in a few days and all items were in the box. I might get a smaller one and attach it to the current one for some extra space. At this price point it is well worth it.

Step by step instructions needed more specific directions as to how pieces should be laid out. Referring to drill holes. A simple top/up or bottom/down stamped on end of panel would help.
