Catsafe Garden

In Denmark more than 200 cats end their life every single day in the traffic, and I find that to be a very scary thought. I don’t want my cats to end up as a part of that statistic. Neither do I want to risk for them to end up in fights with other cats, dogs or other animals – or even get stolen, abused or get lost. Furthermore we have to keep all animals on our own ground by law – also our cats and I wish for them to live a safe and happy life, so put up a cat fence in a part of our garden which the cats have access to.

And they love it. They are ready to get out every morning after their breakfast.

First I did some drawings and plannings, I measured and calculated. My inspiration is found at www.katteindhegning.dk

The poles at the housewall, the corner and the middle one is 10x10cm. The rest of the poles are 7.5×7.5cm. They are 3 m. long and moulded 1m down, so they are secured for the winter. The cat fence is also 20 cm under ground level, so they can’t sneak under it. I bought a premade door, so I didn’t have to test my creativity level too much.

The net is 5×5 cm, the electricity box is a  Secur Classic, and the electricity wire is mounted on every side of the cat fence and also on top of it, so there’s 3 wires of electricity.

Here you can see pictures of our cat fence project. If you have any questions or comments about cat fences, please feel free to contact us.
