| What do you need? | Solution: |
| Mesh for Catio | The recommended specification for keeping cats safe is a welded wire mesh with a 25mm x 25mm hole size and at least a 1.6mm thick wire (16 gauge). Our European made 25mm x 25mm 16g Welded Mesh is the ideal product for a catio, manufactured to European Standards EN 10223-4. We would strongly advise to use a European made weld mesh when fitting to a frame, as European made material runs perfectly straight making it the ideal product for Catios. |
| Mesh for large cat breeds | We would still suggest using a 25mm x 25mm hole Welded Mesh rather than a 50mm x 50mm hole Welded Mesh for larger cat breeds, to avoid the possibility of your cat’s head getting stuck in the mesh. |
| Cat proof insect mesh | Our black Pet Proof Insect Mesh is incredibly strong and has been specifically designed to offer a higher resistance to scratching and tearing. This is the ideal Insect Mesh to use if you have cats. |
| Cat Mesh for windows and doors | Our Cat Fencing can be cut into panels using a decent pair of Fencing Wire Cutters, and framed to fit over a window or door to keep your cat safe. If you are looking for a more flexible material, then our Pet Proof Insect Mesh is a great choice. |
| Cat Mesh for top of fence | Cat Enclosure Mesh is a flexible material made from black high tensile plastic. It is very lightweight and flexible, but incredibly strong. This makes the cat enclosure mesh an inconspicuous yet durable option for Cat Fencing. You can fit the mesh to appropriate cat fence brackets using Black Cable Ties. |
| Cheap cat fence | Our Cat Enclosure Mesh is a cost-effective option for larger cat proofing projects. However, if you are looking for a more rigid mesh for your catio then your Cat Fencing needs to be strong enough to be fit for purpose, and so we wouldn’t recommend opting for a lighter-weight fencing than the recommended 25mm x 25mm 16 gauge Welded Mesh. |
