I have not attached it to the house yet. Assembly was not difficult. Did have to have 2 people to work on it at times. But I do think that my cat will love it once she can go in and out of the house. I do feel some ideas on how to attach it to the house and open it up to the window would be helpful.

Took a few hours to put together and definitely easier with two ppl. I needed this for inside and I have 2-3 cats whom are residing in it. Love it!!

My cat loves it! It does take two people and a screw gun to put together. We had to modify a little bit but definitely worth every penny and effort it took to put it together. We bought a cat door for a window and attached our ��cat walk�� enclosure that she has been using for years years!!!

These cats love it, every day they're parading in front of the door, tails up, noisy until I let them out in it

What a great catio! It is HUGE. Yes, it is a pain in the butt to assemble if you are alone. It really is a two person job but it can be done. I suggest having a drill.handy as doing each screw by hand is agonizingly slow.
My cats are loving their new improved space and I love that they can be outside but still safe.
The only change I made to the original design was the addition of a hasp lock so I can secure it completely and padlock it shut and the addition of faux grass turf on the platforms and floor to help keep it clean.
A+ for the price and shipping was.crazy fast!

I actually bought this cage for an aviary for zebra finches and it's perfect. Fairly easy to assemble too.
Jennifer Dominguez
I like this cat enclosure but some of the screws that came with it were not long enough for the intended area. I had to go back with longer screws to secure the small boxes because they became loose after 1 well of use.

This product is very nice and is easy to put together. You do need a power screwdriver. My husband put it together in a few hours by himself. I am not using it for cats, but it would be satisfactory for sure!
Asiah shelton
Absolutely love it. Sturdy once all out together. I love the fact I can move around shelves and the cubbies. Two cats could fit comfortably and I was able to put my automatic litter box. Good for indoor or outdoor. My cat doesn't get along with my other cat so this was the best solution to separate and it's awesome
Mrs B
Assembled it by myself in just an hour and a half using clamps and a power screwdriver. Seems sturdy. It will do nicely for keeping the kittens contained into adulthood when the catio will be moved outside for them to enjoy.
Shirley Johnson
Perfect addition for my pigeons. They love it. Make sure you water proof all the pieces before you assemble. Use Thompson's water seal.
Gisella
I assembled this in no time by myself. I use it for my pigeon .lots of room and excellent quality.
Mac an Airchinnigh
Nice for the price. It's not the easiest to assemble. But I did it solo without power tools. Took a good bit of the day. But was fun. Missing many screws but I just bought more to complete the roof.

I bought this to allow cats to have outdoor time while we had a hawk problem. It suited the purpose. The only problem we have encountered is that one of the cats went through the roof when he jumped down from roof. We put plywood on the roof to guard against that. Overall sturdy and easy-ish to put together with two people.
Pauline Rouse
bit annoying to put together (and flimsy) but super cute & worth it for the price.
Cory Orst
Bought it to have an area for my oriental shorthair to have her kittens. Super fast delivery, great product, basic tools to assemble, a drill helped.
Very sturdy and not tippy at all!
They even called to see how the box arrived!
Maryanne
I was surprised by the quality of this Catio! Put it together in less than two hours. All the parts were accounted for. I did not build the boxes as this will be for birds (not cats) so used extra pieces to build appropriate accessories. I'd buy it again!!
Belinda Bertrand
My cat loves this catio! It took half a day for my husband and I to set it up. We did have to use a drill as the screws were impossible by hand. We removed the boxes as my cats didn't fit and just kept them as shelves. It was very hard for my cats to jump from the ground to the upper shelves because of the angles so I put a cat tree and they can get to them from there. Mine is not attached to a window, I just carry my cat out there. Decent quality, a bit flimsy but it's good value for the price.

I would recommend this product as an intermittent solution for someone wanting a catio now but, for any number of reasons, not wanting a long term investment. It took me and another person 6 hours to build (mostly due to having to make a hardware store trip for a missing part) and we attached it to our deck with L brackets and added turf to the boxes and flooring. Additionally, I recommend switching up the order of the shelves when you assemble it to help with the cats ability to access different heights. Overall, I paid nearly $200 (which is a great price for this product) and got just about what I paid for. I also recommend buyers purchase mosquito netting/window screen netting and affixing it to the catio exterior to prevent your animals from being bitten bugs or stung by bees. (See attached picture for what we did) In our case, we made this accessible to our cats via a window, so the netting helps to ensure that bugs don't get in the house. You may also want to consider some form of additional cross support as the structure is not very well supported. Still, I feel very comfortable that my cats are safe and the structure is not going anywhere with the L brackets keeping it fixed to my deck. Other things to note: Some pieces where missing pilot holes - so don't be afraid to drill into the wood to make it work how you need it to. Lastly, we will not be keeping it out through the winter - we will definitely move it into the garage. I can say pretty confidently it would only last for one year if we left it out. We want this to last about two if we can.

Cat Cage with Room for Improvement

We put it together in two separate sessions. It's on our back porch and our cats love. They go to the back door and scratch at it when they want to go the catio.
Jackson Atkins
I am very happy with this wooden cat cage. It is well-built and very spacious
Fiona Smith
We purchased this cat cage specifically to place outside on our windowsill, and it has been perfect for that purpose. It's well-built and sturdy, and the size is just right for our cat to comfortably lounge and watch the world go by. The cage is easy to clean and the wood looks great. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an outdoor cat cage!
Lauren
We are long term house sitting and the home owner is allergic to cats so we had to find a way to keep ours from roaming the house. This fit perfectly in one of the bedrooms and our cat loves it! When we move again we’ll put this outside so our cat can enjoy the outdoors too!
Valerie
The cats love being outside and we are happy that they're safe. Excellent product.
Harriet Coleman
looking for it

You will need a basic knowledge of tools/assembly to put this together. It took two people about 3 hours from start to finish to assemble it. The structure is sound and we trust it to not only keep the cats safely enclosed, but also to keep other animals out. Our three cats use it on a daily basis and we are very happy with the purchase.
Sharon Cusce Lipe
Ease of putting together
Heather Jones
2 things: 2 people make this easier, and find your missing 10mm wrench because you'll need it toward the end. I think it was supposed to come with one, but ours was missing. Also, if you have even a mild allergy to cedar, you will be overwhelmed by the smell when you open the box. It's STRONG.<br><br>Assembly was easy enough, well labeled and my husband and I didn't fight when we (mostly me) assembled it in just under 3 hours. Our toddler "helped" and the orange cat that wants to be outside screamed at us from the window the entire time.<br><br>If you want to use this in conjuction with a window, make sure you remove the wire from the piece in the middle on the back, but keep the frame as it is structurally necessary.
CathyC
I won’t say easy to assemble, definitely takes two but we got it together. Cat not sure yet, but he’ll get used to it.
Hollie Rice
It's exactly what I'd expect. It's quite nice. The cats enjoy it. I do wish it were more sturdy. Ours is currently inside (long story) so I can't speak to weather resistance.
Judith A. Jarnot
I felt the diagrams accompanying the directions were a bit confusing, but we got the job done! We just completed the project yesterday. I don't feel I can adequately evaluate as to whether or not it's weatherproof.
Randall
Bought this for an I door corner enclosure for one if my cats who doesn't play well with others. It's big enough for the cat but not massive enough to take up a bunch of space. Pretty easy to put together. I carpeted the little box house inside and it's cute!
Mario
Its taking my cats sometime to acclimate to it but it fits well in our back porch. The wood is barely sturdy enough to hold itself together. But so far so good. It was fsily easy to put together.
Henry Clarke
Perfect for my cats use
Macattack
This catio was exactly what my cats needed. It was relatively easy to put together - but it did require two people and took several hours. It is easy to move around with two people so I can change the cat’s location to keep them happy. The cats would prefer to roam freely, but they have accepted that the catio is their only choice for outdoor time. They love it and they are much happier with the chance to watch the outdoor action up close.

Grace Rivers
It is very functional and provides plenty of space for my cat to move around
Eric Georgia
I am impressed with this. I had built one similar before this one. Cat kept getting birds in it. Tore it down. This one is really nice. Yes the wood isn’t deck material but it doesn’t need to be. Would buy this again.

It seemed a little flimsy as I was putting it together, but once done, I was happy with the result. It’s working out perfect for my iguana! My 12 yr old daughter & I put it together with no issues
Isaac Cook
it's a fun project and the end result is worth it!
Edward Newman
The wood is of average quality and the cage could be sturdier
