- Опубліковано 7 кві 2023
- Join us as we unveil the creation of our ultimate Catio Home, complete with all our closely guarded secrets. The process spanned several days, with plenty of helping hands, as we were resolute in crafting the perfect feline haven. Begin by locating a shaded and tranquil area, clearing the land, and marking out your designated space. Then, it’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work! For this project, we enlisted workers for framing and landscaping, with labor costs comprising the bulk of the expenses. 🏡🐾
Our primary objective is to establish a secure and enjoyable outdoor habitat for our beloved shelter cats. If you’re contemplating creating a Catio or outdoor space, consider incorporating features that encourage exercise, climbing, cozy hiding spots, and comfortable sleeping areas. Our Catio also features native, non-toxic plants. Additionally, we’ve produced several videos covering Catio Design and other elements to enhance your feline companions’ experience. So, let your imagination roam and think like a curious cat!
**Opps in the Video Editing. Let’s correct that. The wire angle should be 90°, not 45°. Thank you for catching that oversight! 😊🔧
Materials:
Black Coated wire fencing 14 gauge 6 foot - purchased from Amazon
Pressure treated lumber. The lumber we used are 4x4", 2x4, 2 x6 and fence boards.
Concrete
Heavy duty zip ties
Wood stain
Artificial grass
Polycarbonate roofing panels - Misty Green Colored
Wood screws - star bit
16g 3/4" staples for pneumatic stapler
12x12" pavers, pea gravel and landscape fabric and landscape staples
native non-toxic plants.
Equipment and tools used includes: Mini bolt cutter for the wire fencing, zip tie cutter, drill, miter saw, metal sheer cutter, air compressor and the main stay item was the pneumatic air stapler,
**Full Disclosure: We’re not certified catio builders; we’re simply DIY enthusiasts who adore our cats. Our passion drives us to freely share our creations with fellow cat lovers online. 🐾😊
Our channel has several DIY cat projects, catio videos and special celebration parties to review. 🙀🔨 . We appreciate you watching and hope to see you again.
May your Catio dreams come true,
Nala - the Catio Keeper

Just a Lovely Setup...God Bless You and Your Lovely Cats...!!!
Thank you! You too! 🙏🏻
FANTASTIC, EVERY CAT HOUSEHOLD SHOULD HAVE THIS IN THE BACK YARD!
You are so kind, and we agree too!
My heart is BURSTING with joy here watching THIS … 🥰❤️❤️❤️🥰
Buying lottery tickets TODAY …not something I usually “invest” in …as I gave up wine 7 years ago …dining out at restaurants… and my daily 2 cups of purchased Java…JUST TO FEED the feral colony that I have committed my heart “to” …along with the other 7 cats that live WITH me 💕😻🥰😻💕
I am teary eyed here watching this…in a GOOD WAY 😻🇨🇦😻
Wow Bobbie, we can hear your heart joyful beat, but please be careful with your cash. Thank you for being a kind and caring friend to all the sweet and needy cats near you. I believe that there is a special place in heaven for you. 🙏🏻😇
Such a great playground for the kitties. We’re still looking to add a sunroom that would be a dedicated space for our cats.
We will keep our fingers crossed for you in the meantime..
@@OurCatioHome 😻💖
Wow, this was so helpful! Drawing up the plans for my own catio build and this gave me so many great ideas!
Yay, glad it was helpful! Please let us know how yours turns out.
Fantastic job on the catio , we have a pergola that we will extend to our house & convert into the catio . Im excited to give them their own safe space
Thank you for the kind words, and we a very excited to hear about your catio project. Please post a video when you finish, ok?
I love how your kitties were already trying out the features before you had finished building them. 😺 My cats did that with their cat tree. They just knew it was for them.
Oh you are so right Michelle. Sabrina just knew it was her perch. Meow!
Thank you for your reply 🙏🏼🐾
Our pleasure!
I'm so glad I stumbled unto your amazing video. This cat retreat is so inspiring to me. I have the perfect spot in my backyard. I had 4 kitties born under my house and they have never left that spot. The mom flew the coop, but the bambinos stayed. Wait till my husband sees this!!! He thinks I'm crazy, but we know we are CatCrazy!! 😅 Thanks
Hello Elizabeth!! Glad it was helpful! Please keep in touch and let us know how your catio project turns out.
Kitties have great place. Well done. ....hope the neighbors, if any, are as happy as you are with it.
Thank you Jane, I hope so too!
why does it matter if the neighbors are happy with it??? ??
Absolutely fantastic! Wish I could give a thousand likes👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Ih my, we are so happy reading your kind words. 1001 thank yous😊
It is so amazing all the details and thought that had been put into building the Catio. Jackson Galaxy would love this! Thanks for sharing the details to this wonderful creation.
💕🐈🐈⬛🐈💕
We are truly grateful for your kind words today Kimberly. We are JG fans too. Cheers!
Excellent! ☮️🧡🐱
I love that it was a great family project, and the joy the kitties share with the end result, is the best payoff! Nicely done! 🙂
Thank you, Laura! 😊
Wow, BRAVO!!!

kudos to you for the kind words today. Happy easter!.
@@OurCatioHome 🤗😘🤗😘🤗
Humans will do more for their animals than other humans. Really great catio. Appreciate both these humans for protecting their animals yet giving them outdoor satisfaction.
We appreciate your visit and comments too.
10 days maybe not 10 minutes but that’s just beautiful for cats..We are building one this month..
Hey Vickie, good news about your project. Let us know. Hope that we could help.
Think the title is more referring to the video length.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Great kitty playground 🐈⬛🐈🐈🐈🥰🥰🥰😍😍👍👍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You are most kind.
This is the ultimate cat patio!❤
Thank you ever so kindly!
What a beautiful Catio😍😍😍
Oh thank you!
SHE SOUNDS LIKE TREE TRUNKS FROM ADVENTURE TIME! I FRICKIN LOVE IT!! ALSO THIS CATIO IS AWESOME!!
Thank you, I had to look up Polly Livingston's voice, that is truly funny. Maybe I do sound like her?
I love watching how it was made! LOL a raccoon got to test it out before the cats! That was great work. And the best part of all was seeing the gorgeous kitties reactions to their ultimate play place!! 💕💕💕💕
We are delighted to read that you enjoyed this video. We thought Rocky raccoon was very interesting too.
Love this! Lucky kitties!
Thank you! 😊
What a cheeky little raccoon! This was an absolutely incredible project and I love how you all worked together to create an absolute kitty cat outdoor paradise! Like 52 :)
The night inspector approved the project right away. 😻 Thank you so much!
Cute.
Beautiful! So much better then the pre-made ones! 🐈🐈
Aww, thank you for the visit and kind words Carrie!
You did an amazing job! With each video, I am more and more amazed by the kingdom you have created for cats. 😊❤
Cat Kingdom; has a ring to it. Can we quote you? 😊
@@OurCatioHome You can use that name however pleases you, your great work and amazing kitties deserved it. 😊😺👍❤️
I liked your 4 legged supervisors.
Hehehe Mike, he was easy on us...
I watched this THREE TIMES since 5 o’clock this morning …lol 😻
Meow for now ♥️🇨🇦💕😘😽
We are so very grateful!!!!! Mewo for now...
Great looking project, only thing I would've done differently is to char all that lumber. wood stain helps but it can't protect against rot on parts buried + it'd give a great rustic look to the whole thing. charred wood can last 20-50yrs buried & 50-100 yrs exposed to the elements plus it keeps the wood hungry critters at bay, just a thought for next time.
Oh, love your ideas, were where you last year? Thanks for the thought though.
@@OurCatioHome Sorry to be late to the party but i just found your channel, 😞. Will defo have a dive into your channel though as I'm thinking i need to do same. my place is small indoors & my cat fam really needs more space.
Amazing! So glad I just found your channel and subscribed.
Welcome Tube-Trance!
What a wonderful oasis for the fur babies and fur parents too! 😍
Oh thank you very much!!!
stunning catio mummy thanks...
Thanks
Thanks for the inspiration!
You are so welcome!
Wonderful! Thank you.
Thank you Elena!
Well done!
Thanks Denise!
What a great tutorial on building a catio! I didn’t know you had all of this original video - thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for the kind words and visit today!
Awesome kitty playground ideas in this dyi video! LOVE the information. Thanks for sharing your secrets!
You are too kind. We are delighted to know this helps in your understanding.
Getting ready to build a catio for my babies, much smaller but I know they will love it. Thanks for all the great ideas.
You are so welcome! Please let us know how yours turns out....
Wonderful project! Love the different textures on the ground. If you can buy a bird feeder (bird bath optional) 3-3/12 feet away might do. that they can watch close enough but not reach. It is the best cat tv.
Thanks for the tip, and visit! Cat TV is definitely needed.
I love your catio. Fantastic place for your furry friends❤
We thank you so much for the visit and kind words!
Awesome ❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks 🤗
10 Minutes LoL, Thank You. Was your fence 10 ft. Tall? Appears so, worried about the Deer. I have My material to expand exciting Porch Catio. Praying for $$$, for labor help.🐱😇🙋
Thank you for your visit. The fence was 6 ft tall. We are sure your prayers are heard. May your porch catio dreams come true.
They love it! Ya’ll are so great to build this for those babies!
Thank you 🤗
This is not a cat Patio; it's a cat Palace! Requiring a construction crew. But it IS lovely.
We thank you for the comment and visit today Alex!
Lucky kitties 😊
Your videos are so great, I love the music too , thank you so much for your great ideas!
Oh my goodness, thank you so much Brenda for the kind words.
Meow for now. LOL. I love it. This is just purrrecious =^..^=. My dream catio.
We hope that your catio dreams come true Sandra. Meow
It's so adorable ❤
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this, it has given me some ideas.
I see you don't put horizontal beams on the base, what if cats or other animals scratch their way out/in? Did I miss something?
Thank you!
Hello Santos, the wire is buried and reinforced with 6" landscape staples. We hope that you will share your catio once completed.
Cute catio and thank you for listing the parts. Is it connected to your home? If not, is there a litter box for them to use
Yes and yes
✅️😊
Beautiful, I love it. 💘
May I ask what the dimensions are?
Have you thought about selling the plans?
Recoup some of those labor costs? 😁
Hello Netanya and thank you for the visit. The catio is 6' x 72'. We are happy to share our ideas with anyone who want to build for the feline friends.
@@OurCatioHome
Thank you!
It looked like it was 6ft wide to me.
Love the patio pavers. 🙂
Hey Netanya, I have a video on how to make stencil pavers too, check out...easy project.
@@OurCatioHome Oh wow, thank you!!!
I definitely will check it out! 🙂♥️☮
Fantastic Catio, did you have directions, or was this all creative ideas? I want to build a Catio for my babies. Please respond and let me know if you followed instructions or was this 100% putting it together yourself. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for the visit! Just worked with our space and designed the catio to fit. Used a lot of brain cells imagining what should go where...
thank you for this, this is simply amazing, I appreciate that you "think like a cat" when designing this. cat did not hesitate to rate it 12 out of 10.
do you have additional treatment for the lumbers or based on your experience do they last long?
We appreciate you visit very much! Seeing the world through the cats eyes, always help me understand them and their needs 💝. We use pressure treated lumber, which will last years.
This great but how to do this when this is wat out my budget?
Hello Roberta. I don't have all the answers perhaps making half the size of a catio would help?
Hi Catio Home!
How far apart did you set your 4×4s?
My catio will be 24 feet long and I thought I would have a post every 12 feet. The catio will also start off attached to the wall of the house.
Also, it looks like you attached the fencing to the inside of the catio. Correct?
Thank you. ❤🙂
Excited for you Izabela! We did 8' to 8'. Fencing all around and behind the fence panels. Pls keep us posted about your project, ok?
@@OurCatioHome Thank you♥️🙂
Won't the wood eventually rot and break over time when exposed to rain/sun/snow?
Thank you for the visit and question. All the lumber is pressure treated lumber therefore it should be more reliable in the coming years.
those are 90 degree angles. 45 degree angles would not be square but rather triangular
Right you so are Phyllis. Thank you for catching that oversight.
@@OurCatioHome hahaha, I'm a day late and a dollar short.
I just realized that the "night inspector" wasn’t a cat!
That's funny; yep, Rockey is his name.
*90° angle
Yep, oops on my part in the edit.
Can not understand why did u put plastic carpet instead of leaving the grass. Cats like eating grass
We appreciate your visit and comment.
10 Minutes?
Yes Anne the video length, sorry this wasn't apparent. We hope that you will visit again.
@@OurCatioHome I saw that was the length of the video but it was sped up I think and I thought you were saying that it only took 10 minutes to build the catio--I think it took longer than that to build it.
Glad you came back Anne, yes a lot of sweat and tears to make for sure..
10 minutes------what BS
Thank you for the visit Marci.
Overkill 👎🏻
We appreciate your visit all the same.
