Cat owners love to let their cats enjoy the outdoors, the safest way to do that is to build an
outdoor cat enclosure. If you have more than one cat you know how important it is to give
them their space and to provide fresh air and sunshine for them to enjoy. In order to build a safe and sturdy
cat enclosure for outdoor, the first thing you will need is a plan. How do you decide what kind of
plan to get? Only you can decide the kinds of requirements you’re going to need for the enclosure. Here are
some guidelines.
How large to you want it to be? Keep in mind all the cats that will be using it now and in the
future. You can build and outdoor cat enclosures for one cat or several. Decide if the cat enclosure
needs to be large enough for humans to fit inside to feed, clean or to play with the cats. Keep in mind that
once the enclosure is built, your cats may love it so much that you decide to get more cats. Consider these
options before you buy the plans.
The next decision that needs to be made is where will you put the cat enclosures? Certainly this
will depend on the amount of land around your home, as well as how close you want it to be to the house.
There are some units that attach to your home and have openings so the cats can safely get from the house to
the cat enclosures and back. Other units are completely free standing and provide tunnels for the cats to
enter and exit.
Think about how you want to access the outside cat enclosures, do you mind walking across the
yard or do you want it a few steps from the back door. If you place it away from the house your plan will
have to include a way for the cats to travel back and forth to the house. Think about how you plan to
decorate your new kitty haven. Are you planning
a garden area around it or does it need to fit into an existing garden? Try drawing a quick map of your yard
and decide where you will build.
It is important to have a rough idea of how much you want to spend on this outdoor cat
enclosure. When you are trying to decide which
plans to get, remember to think about the cost of your supplies as well as what’s available in your area.
Different materials have different price ranges. For example if the basic plan falls well within your budget
then perhaps a higher quality materials would be an option for you. Be practical when choosing your plan.
Think it through and be careful not to get carried away. Most often the plans will give you a picture of the
finished projects. You may see some that are too complicated for your skill level. Stick to the basics, and
if your choice meets all your needs including
size, budget, and appropriate skill level for you, then you should buy it.
Answer these questions before you buy
1. Are the plans for the correct size that you need?
