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.

Excellent product
I used the steel reinforced cat netting to wrap my gazebo. Two years on, it’s in perfect shape. My gazebo is made of hardened aluminum, so it took creativity, troubleshooting, and a lot of zip ties. I recommend this cat netting.

Simple to Assemble
Installed net around apartment patio. With only cable ties and purchased fasteners it only took about an hour to install. Now the cats and small dog can go outside without worrying if they are going to run away

Cat Netting is Great Quality!
I have a balcony that my cats adore being on but I want them to be able to have full time access safely. This cat netting is perfect for my needs, it’s super sturdy and I was able to get the perfect size to fit the dimensions of the balcony opening. It’s always such a **** shoot these days with finding good quality products but rest assured this one hits the mark.
