Walk-In Catio | Wooden Cat Enclosure | Outdoor Cat Run

It is an outdoor cat enclosure tall enough for a person to reach well inside, usually with a door you can open fully. This model stands 180cm high, so you can step up to it and access the interior without crawling. That makes cleaning, feeding and settling a nervous cat far easier than with a low-profile run.

The outer dimensions are 80cm long by 80cm wide by 180cm tall. The footprint is compact, roughly the space of a small side table, but the height gives your cat real vertical room. It is one of the better large cat enclosure options for small yards and balconies.

The listed weight is 26.8 kg. That is heavy enough to feel stable once assembled and not something you would want to lift alone. The fitted wheels are there precisely so you do not have to lift it to move it.

The materials listed are wood and polyvinyl chloride, finished in grey. The timber forms the frame and structure, while PVC is used for the cleaning board and related components. Specific timber species and coating details beyond that are not stated in this record.

It has two levels. The platforms give cats somewhere to climb to and perch, which is a big part of why cats enjoy an outdoor cat run rather than just tolerating it. A flat single-level pen simply does not hold their interest in the same way.

Two. Having access from more than one point makes a real difference day to day, whether you are cleaning a back corner, swapping water bowls or lifting a cat out. It also gives you options for how you position the enclosure against a wall or fence.

Yes, a nesting box is part of the included components. It gives your cat a sheltered, enclosed spot inside the catio for sleeping or hiding. Most cats will claim it within the first day or two.

Yes. It is fitted with wheels, and mobility is listed as a special feature of this model. You can roll it to follow the sun, shift it under cover before rain, or move it out of the way when you need the space. That flexibility is the main appeal of a catio on wheels.

The wheels are described as brake wheels, meaning they can be locked once the enclosure is where you want it. Always engage the brakes before letting your cat in, especially on any surface with a slope. Check them occasionally as part of routine maintenance.

Two levels and a nesting box give two cats enough separation to coexist comfortably for short to medium sessions. Cats that already get along well will usually share it happily. For three or more cats, or cats with tension between them, plan on shorter supervised sessions or rotate access.

Kittens generally love the climbing opportunities, but always supervise them closely at first. Check that any gaps are too small for a kitten to squeeze through before leaving them in, and consider blocking off the upper level until they are confident climbers. A backyard catio should be introduced gradually at any age.

The enclosure is designed for cats and small pets. A larger cat will fit in the floor area comfortably, though a very heavy cat may find the upper platform tighter. Specific platform weight ratings are not confirmed in this product record, so use judgement with bigger cats.

The breed recommendation listed is small pets, with cats as the target species. Some owners use enclosures like this for rabbits or small dogs in a supervised setting. Check gap sizes and climbing surfaces against your specific animal before committing.

It is intended for outdoor use and the structure is timber with PVC components, but no specific weatherproofing rating is stated in this record. Treat it as a weather-resistant outdoor cat enclosure rather than a sealed shelter. Positioning it under eaves or in partial shade will extend the life of the timber considerably.

You can, and the wheels make seasonal repositioning easy. Timber left in constant sun and rain will weather faster, so a sheltered spot helps. Re-coating the wood with a pet-safe exterior finish every year or two will keep it looking and performing well.

This is designed for daytime fresh-air sessions rather than permanent housing. Overnight use is not recommended unless the catio is in a secure, sheltered area and your cat has food, water, shelter and a litter tray. Wildlife, temperature swings and neighbourhood animals are all reasons to bring cats in at night.

The enclosed design keeps your cat contained and provides a physical barrier against most passing animals. It is not a substitute for supervision in areas with persistent predators. Position it near the house rather than at the far end of the yard if you have concerns.

Assembly time is not specified in this product record. Flat-packed timber enclosures of this size typically take one to two hours with two people and basic hand tools. Lay out all panels and hardware before you start and the job goes much faster.

Expect to need at least a screwdriver, and a cordless driver will speed things up. Specific tool requirements are not listed in this record, so check the included instructions when it arrives. Having a second person to hold panels upright makes assembly easier.

Level ground with partial shade is ideal. Cats want sun, but they also want somewhere to escape it, so a spot that gets morning light and afternoon shade works well. Being able to see the house from inside the catio helps nervous cats settle.

The 80cm by 80cm footprint fits most balconies, which is one reason this is a popular catio for apartments. Check the height clearance and your building's rules first. Make sure the surface is level and the wheel brakes are engaged.

Slide out the PVC cleaning board and rinse it, then wipe down the timber surfaces with a damp cloth and a mild pet-safe cleaner. The two doors give you access to the corners. A quick clean once or twice a week keeps it pleasant enough that your cat keeps using it.

Yes, and it is a good idea for longer sessions. A small covered tray fits on the floor level without taking up much of the usable space. Removing it between sessions keeps the enclosure fresher.

Start with the door open and the catio somewhere familiar, then let your cat explore on its own terms. Put a favourite blanket or bed inside and feed a few meals in there. Most cats commit within a week once they associate the space with good things.

That is normal, especially with cats that have never been outdoors. Keep sessions short, stay nearby, and never shut a frightened cat in. The nesting box gives them somewhere to retreat to, which usually speeds the process up.

Enclosures in this range are sometimes designed to connect, but joining instructions and compatibility are not confirmed in this product record. If you want a larger run, check the included documentation before buying a second unit. Two units positioned side by side still give cats more territory to patrol.

A 6 month warranty is listed for this product. If a manufacturing fault appears within that period, contact us with your order details and photos of the issue. We will sort out a resolution from there.

It ships flat-packed to your delivery address. At 26.8 kg it arrives as a sizeable, heavy carton, so arrange for someone to be home or for a safe drop location. Check the packaging for damage before signing where possible.

It is a genuinely useful gift for any cat owner who worries about letting their cat outside. Because it is bulky and needs assembly, it works best as a planned gift rather than a surprise one. Consider gifting it with a cat bed or toys to go inside.

Get in touch within the returns window and we will walk you through the options. Keep the original packaging if you can, since a flat-packed timber enclosure is much easier to send back in its box. If something arrived damaged or a part is missing, send photos and we will arrange a replacement part or a return rather than leaving you with an unusable catio.
