This is a brilliant video. Thank you for showing exactly what product is needed, and tips such as drainage. I've really enjoyed it and looking forward to buying the items from B&Q to build our catio.

Hi. This is the best video of how to build a catio I have seen yet. Finally, a step by step video guide. Excellent I noticed the wood that you used is a lot thicker than the ones I have seen in other videos. Can't wait to start this project for my cat Alex. Thanks!

Many DIY projects in your channel inspired me to do, easy (hehe...by it looks), what i like is material are pictured and briefly explained 👌

I like the layout of this, as it is in sections. So, you could re-arrange the position of the door. Looking to add a catio to a deck, and this was quite helpful.

Anazing video! In 2:08 do I have to also place a nail through the outer frame to the floor? As also, do I need to connect the outer frame of the wall with the outer frame of the floor?

Clicking on the info icon doesn't show all the parts used. Is there a full list of items available somewhere? Would be so helpful.

[Daniel-eimb]

Do I have to drill through the wood of the outer frame in 1:47 ?, Also Do I have to piece the nail through the outer frame to the wall too?
Can’t wait to start the project, thanks
