      Product

      Netting is an ideal material for use as a cat enclosure. It has many benefits including the following: It is very versatile and easy to work with. Netting can be cut to size, shaped around corners and used to fill small holes. It doesn't require any special tools, doesn't involve any heavy lifting, welding or building experience to install. It is affordable. With our netting available at just 30c per square foot, netting is the best option for large areas that wouldn't otherwise be enclosable. Most Catnets DIY enclosures cost well under $250. It is strong and long lasting. Our specialised cat netting is designed to last. It is UV treated for outdoor use, has heat strengthened knots and is pre-stretched to avoid sagging. It looks fantastic! Netting (especially our low-vis netting) is barely noticeable once installed. Wire cage enclosures can have a heavy, dominant and overpowering appearance, whereas a low-vis netting enclosure looks subtle and soft. Unlike wire cages, the netting won't get hot-to-touch in the hot summer heat. Won't get caught by the wind like shadecloth. Is airy, and allows you cat to keep cool in the summer months. Unlike wire cages, there are no sharp and DANGEROUS edges that are prone to rust

Our high quality netting is strong, long lasting & designed to last in the harsh outdoors. Our nets are UV treated to the maximum percentage without degrading the strength of the netting. More than that, the nets are also regularly tested in an accredited "Accelerated UV Testing facility". The netting is also "Pre-Stretched" to tension, with Heat-Strengthened Knots. This process is critical when used as a cat net, as it helps avoid stretching and sagging of your net over time. Through many years of testing, 3/4" has been determined to be the maximum hole size that is safe for cats.  Catnets brand netting is the ideal choice for your cat enclosure: High abrasion resistance High  breaking strains UV treated "and tested" Prestretching to tension to avoid sagging Maximum 3/4" mesh size

      Although occasionally used for Dog containment by our customers, this netting has been designed for use by cats only and is not covered for damage resulting from Dogs or other animals housed in OR outside of the enclosure.

      No, unlike common fruit tree netting, the mesh is set on the square with small ¾” x ¾” holes. The square mesh combined with the tension of installed netting, prevents the netting from twisting or distorting when impacted or landed on, which prevents tangles.
