Providing protected outdoor play
Your cat gets sunshine, fresh air and a view of the garden from an enclosed space at home.
We design every catio, cat run and enclosure around your house, verandah or garden, and build it across Hobart, Kingston and Southern Tasmania.
Greater Hobart and Southern Tasmania
What we build
Whether it's a catio in Hobart, a cat run in Kingston or a whole backyard enclosure anywhere in Southern Tasmania, every build starts with your space: the walls it can attach to, where the sun falls, and how your cats like to spend the day.
An outdoor room for your cat, attached to the house, a verandah, a window or a balcony, or set into the garden, with places to climb, perch and relax in the sun.
Enclosed runs and our own galvanised mesh tunnels, which link a window or cat door to the catio and the garden, with spans of more than 5 metres and no support underneath.
Decks, verandahs and whole yards enclosed with cat netting, with a gate built in so you can come and go.
Why an enclosure
“A safe cat is the best cat.”
Cats love to sunbake, watch the garden and sniff the breeze, and an enclosure gives them all of it, every day.
Your cat enjoys the outdoors from an enclosed space at home.
Your cat can watch the garden, the weather and the comings and goings from a sunny spot in the catio.
Shelves, ramps, tunnels and perches give your cat places to climb, explore and settle.
