Cat Enclosures

Cat enclosures

Quotes for a cat enclosure can describe very different builds under one name. The same questions put to each business show what each one is offering.

What changes the price

Size is the plain one, but ask each business how the frame, the mesh and the way the enclosure meets the house change its price. A freestanding run on a lawn is a different build from one fixed to a wall around a window.

Ask each business to quote the same size and the same way in, so the quotes compare like with like.

Before the builder arrives

Pick the spot and clear it. Think about sun and shade across the day, and where you will reach in to clean.

Keep the cat inside on the day of the install, while gaps are still open.
