Installation Instructions

Below you will find a typical installation of the products for sale in this category.

Cat Fence Installation	Explanation
	Set T-posts 2-3 m apart and add brackets on top. Dig a trench, unroll the mesh, tie it to the posts with cable ties, and attach the top section to the brackets. Secure the bottom with pegs and cover with soil.

Fence Overhang Installation	Explanation
	Attach the bracket to your posts using staples, cable ties or screws. You can use something as simple as a large shelf bracket to create the overhang. No need for fancy, expensive brackets.

Catio Installation	Explanation
	If you are using the mesh to build a catio, simply attach it to the wood using staples or cable ties.

Questions & Answers

Will a cat proof fence overhang stop my cat from climbing out of the garden?
Yes. Cats are agile climbers, but they rely on pulling their weight over the top edge of a fence or wall. Cat fencing systems use inward-angled brackets (set at a 45-degree angle). When a cat climbs to the top, the bracket forces them to hang upside down where they can’t get a foothold, safely causing them to drop back into the garden.

Can I install cat fencing brackets on existing wooden fence panels or brick walls?
Absolutely.  You can use something as simple as a large shelf bracket, which is light and easy to attach to different materials.

• Timber Fence Posts: Screw directly into the top or face of wooden posts.
• Brick Walls & Concrete Posts: Secure using standard wall plugs or concrete masonry screws.
• Metal posts or mesh: Fasten directly to existing post tops using heavy-duty cable ties or clips.

What mesh/netting material is safest for cat fencing?
We recommend high-quality welded mesh or PVC-coated weld mesh.  Lower quality cat fencing may have sharp stray wires that could injure your cat.  All of the cat fencing rolls over 1.6mm that we sell in this category are European-made and conform to commercial cattery standards.

How many brackets and meters of netting do I need for my garden?
As a general rule of thumb:

• Brackets: Place one bracket every 1.8m to 2.5m along your fence line, plus an additional bracket for every corner post.
• Netting: Measure the total linear perimeter of your garden walls/fences and add 10% extra to account for corner overlaps and securing down post edges.

How high does my existing fence need to be to install cat fencing?
For maximum effectiveness, we recommend installing overhang brackets on existing fences or walls that are at least 1.8m (6ft) tall. This height prevents cats from jumping directly over the angled bracket from the ground without attempting to climb first.

If your boundary fence is lower (e.g., 1.2m or 1.5m), we recommend extending the vertical post height before fitting the angled overhang.
