A vinyl carpet runner with nubs up was placed in. Not even the strongest wind (gusts over 50 mph) has moved this and it's not attached to anything. Cat repellents were placed on the back porch and the marked sites were treated with an odor eliminator. Since we just put in a new Trex deck and noticed that the bottom of the catio was scratching it, we also put a rubber mat down as seen in the pics.

(They don't use the ramp, so we took it down after these pics.) We made our own screen insert to keep the bugs out for the cats to go in and out and close the gap between the house and deck door and the catio.Īll three cats love going out first thing in the morning and having the freedom of going in and out all day, weather permitting. Other self-builds we added include using the tools included with the purchase to cut an opening in the catio facing the deck door. The floor boards are not from Habitat Haven but are cedar deck planking. I must confess that we bought wood locally for the flooring and cut it to the needed length. The staff of Habitat Haven went above and beyond helping me to decide on a design that was within our budget and to answer every question. It's packed tight with good padding so nothing moves and gets bent or scratched on the delivery truck. It was fairly easy to assemble, after unpacking it, which was a little more difficult. I'd rather support manufacturers in this country, and I expect to pay more for that level of quality.

They allow your cat to go down from the cat flap in the window to ground level or straight up to under your house eaves, cats really love to be up as high as they can. Vertical Runners give your cat the extra room to get around.
