HIGH QUALITY CATIO!!!
I found this catio online, ordered it on Sunday Pm. By Monday am I was a bit concerned that I hadn’t rec’d email order confirmation. Then I got a text to contact the carrier to arrange delivery on Tuesday! Wow. Everything was there, no damage. It did take some time to unbox, sort and arrange at the site. The instructions were unsat but it wasn’t rocket science. One person can do this but it is about 5 times faster with a second person. I bought a 9x12’ model, it took about a half day to put together. I am a 78 yr old woman.
It is substantial construction. I don’t have a patio or level surface so there was no hope of it fitting together perfectly, but it is still stable and strong.
The latches on the door are horrible and I will be replacing them with something. Anything. But I would not remove a star for this, it’s too good a product to penalize.
It is virtually invisible from the street due to the shade and the black wire. I added two hemlock tree trunks under key ceiling joints to help with the snow load come winter, leaving the three support poles provided for the remaining joints at risk. In snowy regions, I would add vertical supports.
This is a rural setting, so I used natural products like logs, together with some lumber from an old deck project to “furnish” it. I even had to cut one roof panel to fit around an existing fir tree, so my cats would feel at home.
I would highly recommend these catios as being in it for the long haul, unlike the flimsy ones made with wood frames or those with netting instead of wire.
