Catnets Stainless Steel Reinforced Cat Netting is our strongest cat containment solution, designed for cat owners across the USA who need extra strength and peace of mind in more demanding environments.
Unlike bulk netting rolls, which come in fixed lengths, by-the-foot cat netting is sold in custom lengths, allowing you to order exactly what you need for your space. This makes it ideal for small areas, odd shapes, partial enclosures, and DIY projects where standard rolls may create excess waste or awkward joins.
Whether you are enclosing a balcony, window, patio, deck, stair void, or building a custom catio, by-the-foot netting gives you full control over sizing while maintaining the same strength, safety, and quality as our Cat netting Rolls.
Why Choose Stainless Steel Reinforced Netting?
Stainless steel reinforced netting is designed for installations whereadditional strength is required. The integrated stainless steel strand increases resistance to chewing, climbing, and sustained pressure, making it ideal for cats that test boundaries.
It is particularly well suited to:
High-rise balconies or elevated spaces
Exposed or windy locations
Large or highly active cats
Cats that chew, climb, or push against netting
What Is Cat Netting By the Foot?
By-the-foot netting is custom-cut netting sold per linear foot, rather than in pre-set roll sizes. You choose the exact length you need, and the netting can be trimmed further during installation for a precise fit.
Cat netting offers a safer alternative to unrestricted outdoor access. It allows cats to explore and relax outdoors while staying contained within a controlled environment. This supports both physical and mental wellbeing and gives owners peace of mind, particularly in urban and suburban areas where outdoor hazards are common.
Cat netting is ideal for:
Indoor cats who need safe outdoor enrichment
Apartment living and high-rise balconies
Preventing falls and accidental escapes
Protecting birds and wildlife
Creating secure cat runs and enclosures
By installing cat netting, you give your cat the freedom to enjoy the outdoors safely, while giving yourself peace of mind.
This netting is manufactured from knotted high density polyethylene and is pre stretched to ensure it will not sag or loosen over time when installed correctly. It is UV treated and weather resistant, making it suitable for year round outdoor use in US conditions including rain, wind, and sun.
The material is strong enough for cats of all sizes and breeds, including larger and more energetic cats, while remaining flexible and easy to work with during installation.
All of our Cat Netting has been UV Tested and maintains 93% strength even after 10 years!

Catnets cat netting is easy to cut to size and will not fray or unravel when trimmed. It can be attached to most existing structures and works well for DIY installations or professional builds.
Our step by step DIY videos & guides make it easy to transform your outdoor space into a safe and enriching environment that both you and your cat can enjoy together.
Measure the width and length of the area you want to enclose using a tape measure. We recommend adding a little extra length to allow for tensioning, fixings, and trimming during installation.
2) Select your width & length
On the By-the-foot product page, select your desired width.
Then in the length field, enter the number of lineal feet that you require (whole feet only). The diagram should assist in showing your final dimensions.
Once your Cat Netting arrives, install it using the appropriate fixings for your space. Secure the netting firmly along all edges to remove slack and prevent gaps, ensuring a strong, tensioned finish. When installed correctly, your cat can safely enjoy their enclosed area with confidence and peace of mind.

Great premium netting
I got the premium cat netting for my large DIY catio = where the longest dimension was 22’ by 13’. Because the net is robust and well made, I was able to run the entire large area without interim supports or bracing and to keep the grid of the net in perfect alignment. Result: An extra safe area for my cats, nearly invisible to us from inside or out, and a minimum of infrastructure to get in the way of our scenic view through the catio. Win win for all.

Best DIY cat net out there
I’ve had a CATIO that I built myself for many years. I’ve gone through many products trying to find a substantial enough net to keep out squirrels. When a squirrel gets in, they can eat through that net in a half a second. I am so impressed with this steel reinforce netting!!! I’ve had a couple of squirrels get inside through the top opening, and they were unable to bite through the net to get out!!!! and believe me they tried… I’m very very very, very, very happy with the the steel reinforce netting and I’m so glad I went with that choice. I used a combination of zip ties you nails, and rope to construct the catio -and it looks beautiful in addition to being super effective. I also want to add I constructed this entire catio by myself. 5 feet tall and no handyman skills.😻 when there’s a will, there’s a way! Definitely don’t hesitate. I would highly highly highly recommend this product.
