GUTINNEEN Cat House Outdoor Cage Cat Enclosure on Wheels,Large Wooden Kitty Catio with Resting Box,PVC Layer

Key notes: Worth the money, easy assembly(I suggest power tools to make it quicker but really just need a screwdriver). I put it together on my own fine, but goes faster with two people. Had this for over 10months- survived being outside all seasons so far. I have an escape artist cat that I cannot trust on my upper apartment balcony, so I needed a fully enclosed catio. This is perfect! I bought 2 and put them together to make one big enough for my 16lb cat(he’s a big boy). The shelves support his weight no problem. Some modifications I made: replaced the roof with the spare wall panels from the two kits. The original roof panels blew right off, first storm we had(seriously can not add enough screws to hold on) after several attempts of screws and tying it on, I scrapped the roof panels as they also turned the catio into a giant and destructive kite. The mesh wall panels worked great for a roof, and now my cat can look up at the sky! This lines up well to a sliding door- not tall enough to block the whole opening so I screwed one of the spare shelf panels to block an escape route. I suggest securing your catio, however possible. This blew around badly every storm we had because it is so lightweight. Definitely suggest getting some ratchet straps! I have had no problems since securing it properly. Overall very pleased with my purchase!

It was easy to assemble, and the upper opening is at just the right height for my window. I cut a square out of a piece of sturdy foam insulation to block the rest of the window, so I can leave it open most of the time, weather permitting. My two cats love being able to go in and out at will, and I'm happy that they're safe on the apartment balcony. I've had this catio for about two years now, and it's still sturdy. It's protected from the worst of the weather because it's on a covered balcony. Absolutely recommend!

Once setup, this thing is everything I hoped for. We will be using it on a covered patio. However assembly was challenging, mostly due to poorly marked items. The screws are clearly marked in separate bags - nice. The wooden pieces are stamped with ink numbers. On our unit, the ink marks were only half there or smudged. This was the case on half or three fourths of the pieces. What that resulted in is we assembled the bottom square wrong. First, two pieces were upside down. There was nothing in instructions or diagrams that made this clear. We then disassembled the unit and reassembled. Then once we got the top unit together, realized two sides on the bottom needed swapped to get the bench in the right place for the top. If the items were clearly identified with their part numbers, I would totally take responsibility for this. However since they are not, this is the responsibility of the manufacturer. As far as how long it takes to put this together, I saw some estimates of 45 minutes. I am skeptical. I assemble all kinds of different things. Just put together a piece of furniture to hide a cat box in our bedroom. It took us 3 hours on this thing. If the parts had been clearly marked, I think between 60 and 90 minutes is a good estimate. So paying for assembly is not an unreasonable idea. If you are doing it yourself, make sure you have an electric screwdriver! Lots of screws. Final comments, we may very well buy another one to give the cats more room. Assembly should be a piece of cake second time. Might even get it done in 45 minutes!

This has been a life saver for our kitty! We rescued her from an indoor/outdoor home, but we live in the city and couldn't provide that safely without constant supervision so we got her this for when she wants to be outside and we can't supervise. It's sturdy, well-constructed, super easy to move, and has held up constantly being moved around our property to give her different views and in and outside. (We sometimes bring it in if she needs to be contained for some reason.) It can easily be rolled or picked up and fits through our doors with no trouble. It is easy to put together and the doors and latches all work really well. No issues in the two years we've had it. My one complaint is that I wish the hammock was easier to remove because she simply does not use it. I'd put something else in its place if I could remove it but that's okay. It's not hurting anything to have it there!

This is NICE. It wasn’t very difficult to put together (i had 2 people). It did have a smell at first but i’m sure that’s because it’s made of fir. It wasn’t a chemical smell, it smelled of good quality wood which further reassured me in my purchase. it’s so easy to move around and it even came with extra parts. 10/10

I converted this catio into a cage for my finches. I did replace the netting with a smaller metal netting. It was alot of work, but it turned out beautiful. We are going to buy another one to extend this one. Catios tend to be bigger than the bird cages and cheaper too. Even buying the 1/4 metal net in addition. The height is amazing and it was easy to assemble.

Great size for temperary enclosure

This unit came with a lot of minor damage to the pieces. I was still able to put it together, but the quality isn't what it should be for the price. The grates seem structurally sound and the cat can't tear them up, but the wood is cheap looking and flimsy. The instructions are easy to follow and it goes together simply. The dimensions are good, creating a lot of area for jumping and playing and the flooring is hard plastic so it will be easy to clean. The wheels are a great idea because I can easily move it into the garage for storage or implement weather.
