For my first enclosure I used 3/4" rebar for the ground sleeve with 3/4" PVC plastic water pipe for the post with a 45 degree fitting to form the overhang. I finished the ground edge with PVC pipe and folded the remaining net onto the ground held in place with U stakes. I completed the 170' enclosure in three hours. It wasn't pretty but it worked to get our cats outside. Bob (my cat) immediately rolled in the dirt which he loves to do and munched on fresh green grass.

We feel the AMERICAN "T" POST is a good choice for the Cat Corral Enclosure. The "T" post is a standard fence post in America. It can be purchased anywhere for about $6.00 and does not need a Ground Sleeve. Post height is measured from the top of the "T" post to the ground spade (welded on the main shaft). It can be "bent straight" after installation if needed, which is a nice feature because you can not reposition a post with a ground sleeve. Our bracket, applied to a 5' post, makes a total height of 6.5'. The Bracket can be lowered on the post if needed to meet 6 foot height restrictions.

OUR 1 3/8" POST is available Powder Coated or Galvanized. It offers a cleaner more finished look then the "T" post. This post requires a Ground Sleeve to hold it. Installing the Ground Sleeve to true vertical is very important because you can't bend the post. Having good soil makes installation easier.

Our unique GROUND SLEEVE does not require a driving cap, making installation easy. The angle iron stake is strong and will hold its shape when driving it into hard packed ground. The Post is held above the ground so it's not sitting in a water filled sleeve. Most importantly our Ground Sleeve can be easily removed using a simple 2 x 4 lever when it doesn't go in straight and repositioned for another try. Anyone who has ever driven a stake knows this happens.
Try removing the competition's Ground Sleeve…..You have to dig it out!

PLASTIC fence material wants to run on flat level ground. Making it go with the flow on uneven terrain is not easy, causing waves and buckles in the material which are virtually impossible to get out making it more visible. Plastic ships in a roll and installs by unrolling a length and pulling it tight while zip tying it to the post. Plastic fencing has stronger UV resistance properties and will out last the #12 Netting in sun exposed areas.

#12 NETTING is the easiest to draw tight, adding to its invisible nature. It will move and flow over hilly or uneven ground with ease. Because of the soft flexible nature of the Knotted Netting, it is delivered in a bag for easy handling and is installed by finding the colored rope marking the top corner. Attach the top end to your overhang bracket and move from there with the Netting flowing easily out of the bag. The #12 Netting has a shorter service life than plastic netting in sun exposed areas.

The GROUND EDGE needs to be tight to the ground and preferably extend a short bit into the cat enclosure for added security. PVC plastic water pipe, available in white or gray, is easy to work with and quick to install. Weave it every so often through the fence material and stake it with provided 12 inch stakes. Secure the remaining fence material with the provided 6 inch U stakes. PVC is a good choice in areas that do not require maintenance with a weed eater.

Welded Wire Garden Fencing is available at any local garden store and works well for chew resistance and maintenance with a weed eater. Role it out and bend it so one side is 4 to 6 inches long. Attach the long side to the fence with Zip ties at every mesh space to maintain a tight bond with the fence material. Stake the ground edge with provided stakes to complete the edge. It may be that Welded Wire Mesh is needed only around the Gate area or established animal trails if they exist. You may want to see how it goes and install this material later if needed.

Our GATES are designed to be installed wherever you want them along the fence line. Position the Gate where you want it and Zip tie the fence material to the outer frame and the inner Gate frame. Then cut the strands between the two frames and its in. We recommend stabilizing the Gate to a "T" post Zip tied to the outer frame.

Constructed of 5/8" square steel tubing for added strength and ridged stability. Our hinge point design does not allow a gap for the cat to escape from when you open the gate like our competitors model. A easy to use, standard gate latch is installed which automatically secures the gate when closed. Our 18" model ships ASSEMBLED and allows personal access to the enclosure wherever you want as you come and go through your yard. The 32" model ships In two parts. Easy assembly requires securing the two frames to the hinge section. This gate allows access for maintenance tools like a lawn mower or wheelbarrow.
