Getting StartedRequirements & Tips

Visit your customer portal for great articles to read and tips for setting up your enclosure. backyardcatenclosures.com.au/customer-portalPassword: meowmeow
5Get someone to give you a hand to make assembling the enclosure quicker!
You will need to paint your cat enclosure & make sure you repaint every 3 years, to keep it in top condition & for warranty purposes. Some locations in Australia may require more regular coats due to the harsh environment. You must paint both sides of every panel. We recommend you do this PRIOR TO ASSEMBLY for the best finish. We recommend Dulux Weathershield Exterior Paint.
1
UNPACK ALL THE BOXES COMPLETELY and line up all the bags of hardware so you can easily grab bolts and screws during assembly.
2 Put a Phillips head bit (Size: PH2) on a power drill. Ensure your bit fits nicely into the screws. We have provided one if you don’t have one.
3 Give yourself around 3 hours so you don’t rush and make mistakes.

Disclaimer : This product is designed solely for the purpose of giving your cat an outdoor living option. It is not intended to keep all predators out, and may not be enough to stop a dog or other animal from harming your cat. To ensure security and safety, additional measures such as a secure foundation and flooring, backyard fencing, electric fences, night lights and additional locks may be required to prevent burrowing in or out. The addition of padlocks to the enclosure to prevent entry by other humans is also recommended if of concern to you.
