Thinking of building your own?

I build high-end Catios, but I understand the DIY spirit. If you want to tackle this project yourself, here are a few professional tips to help you get started:

• Think Vertically: Don't just look at the floor space. Cats care about the total cubic area and climbing heights.
• Tool Up: You'll need more than just hand tools. A miter saw, table saw, and multiple drill guns will save you hours of frustration.
• Material Choice: Use treated wood to fight rot and a 2"x2" wire for the best balance of safety and visibility.
• Sun Protection: Use a good paint or pigmented stain. It keeps the Texas sun off the wood and keeps the Catio looking nicer, longer.
