AivituvinCatio Outdoor Cat Enclosure Large for Multiple Cats Wooden Cat House Outside Cat Condon Cat Run Weatherproof

We purchased this catio with the intentions of using it as a quail coop, converted it later to keep chickens, and have since converted it to a little standalone greenhouse in our yard. It has been fantastic for all of these purposes. The construction is quite sturdy, it has stood up to high winds, hail, and rain, and everything still feels and looks solid. The instructions were really clear and easy to follow, and all of the pieces were labeled clearly.

I have had professional catios built at two prior homes. Spending thousands of dollars on each. I now live in a small space and wanted a safe outdoor space for my two cats. This was on sale with $80 off but with the $200 shipping charge came to $676.00 for the 6X9 unit. I spent an additional $220 for the ground covering as it was just dirt. I leveled the dirt and installed a cloth ground cover to repel weeds topped with 1/2 yard of small gravel and then a nice astro turf on top. Had my handy man help me put it together as you need two people for an added cost of $200. So my total price was $1096.00. It took about 7 hours including prepping the area the unit would sit on.I don't think I could have gotten a nicer cat enclosure for this price point. The product is well made and if you take your time is very sturdy for two larger size cats. We made the entry point on the side as my house already had a cat door going from inside. I changed up the positions of the inside shelving and houses to suit my cats needs better and this was simple to do.It is plenty big enough for 2 cats and I believe up to 4-5 cats would be very happy in here. The directions can seem a bit odd as they were probably not written by an English speaking native. However if you take your time and read them a few times it gets easier.Two people are needed and I would not recommend moving the unit very far after it is built. We had to move it a coupe times about 6-8 inches and that was fine. Once the roof and supports are installed correctly the entire structor becomes a lot more sound and secure.I am not sure how weather proof it is as I just installed it. I am going to add a corrugated roof top to it later this fall so the cats can still enjoy it even if it rains.I highly recommend this product. Cat approved and all four boxes came in a few days and all items were in the box. I might get a smaller one and attach it to the current one for some extra space. At this price point it is well worth it.

Spacious and Well-Loved by My Cats – A Bit Tricky to Build AloneI purchased this catio for my two fur babies, and they absolutely love it! It’s spacious enough for both of them to relax, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. That said, building it solo was definitely a challenge—it took me about 5 hours total. I know that sounds like a lot, but I’m someone who needs things assembled just right, and it was important to get everything aligned perfectly.After about 4 months of use, my only real complaint is that the door has started to bend outward a bit. I now have to place something against it when the cats are inside to make sure it stays secure. Aside from that issue, it's held up well and serves its purpose.Overall, it’s a great product for giving your indoor cats safe outdoor time—I’d just recommend having help during assembly and keeping an eye on the door over time.

Light and easy to put together. I did it on my own in 3 1/2 hours. Yes it’s kind of delicate but for the price? Perfect. When taking out of the boxes put the pieces together based on instruction steps. Prepare for lots of squats. Slight damage but again it’s pretty cheap for the size and wood quality.

I did a ton of research before purchasing a “catio” and we needed one that was good for outdoors and would not be connected to our home. This one is perfect and our cat loves it! It came with all of the sections put together and we had to put together the sections. It’s definitely a two person job, because you need someone to hold the pieces together when screwing it together. Assembly was easy. It took about an hour to build and prep time was about fifteen minutes. It’s sturdy and has held up being outside all summer. We keep it in the shade, which probably helps. I definitely recommend thia product and would purchase again.

This is as pictured. It does take some effort to build, but if you like building things it's not that bad. While you can use a screwdriver, it is definitely worth it to use a drill attachment or ratcheting screwdriver. Sometimes the placement of the screws by the screen caused my knuckles to get scraped up, so some work gloves would be useful too. I did a lot on my own, but there are parts where it is more of a two-person job. I really do like the finished product and the cats seem to also.

We just moved and needed something fast for our three cats to get some outdoor time.Pros: for two amateurs, assembled in 6-8hrs, including unboxing time. Less than a day is good. 4 boxes are large but lightweight. Catio is easy to move for 2 adults after assembled. Real pine, smells fresh. Kind of customizable, can change order of bridges/platforms. The velcro'd tarp has stayed on through a couple of thunderstorms, impressive!Cons: Directions are TRASH. We did an extra 2+hrs of work because of contradicting and unclear instructions. Use the pictures, but know even they will be wrong sometimes. We had to force alignment of the roof pieces, wasn't too bad but still. Could not attach little box houses because holes for screws were not aligned (see pic).Note: you may want to put an extra barrier down if this sits on dirt or grass. Our cats pulled off an escape after a week and played in the yard for the day. We will put some wire down flat. To keep them from digging. Also, we built a platform to connect the house to the catio, so think about how you will attach it if you're doing an indoor outdoor set up like us. Overall, for a fast solution, I would recommend.

Terrific enclosure. Easy to put together but you need two people! I love it!
