Cats love to explore the outdoors, but keeping them safe while letting them enjoy fresh air can be a challenge. That’s where custom-built catios come in. Designed specifically for your home and your cat’s needs, these outdoor enclosures offer a secure space for your feline friends to roam freely. Dan, a skilled craftsman at Custom pet Enclosures working throughout Essex, Kent, and London, builds and installs Catios personally, ensuring every detail matches your vision and budget.
Why Choose a Custom-Built Catio?
Many cat owners settle for generic outdoor enclosures or DIY kits that don’t quite fit their space or their cat’s personality. Dan’s approach is different. By designing and building each catio from scratch, he offers:
Complete customisation to fit your garden, balcony, or patio perfectly
Flexible design options that suit your budget and style preferences
Personalised features such as climbing shelves, ramps, cat trees and cozy hideouts
On-site consultations to understand your exact requirements
This hands-on process means you get a catio that not only looks great but also meets your cat’s unique needs.
How Dan Works With You
Dan starts every project with an on-site visit. This allows him to assess your outdoor space and discuss your ideas in detail. Whether you want a simple enclosure or a complex multi-level playground, Dan listens carefully to ensure the design fits your lifestyle and your cat’s habits.
During the visit, Dan will:
Measure your available space
Talk through design ideas and show you the materials he uses
Discuss safety features to protect your cat from escape or predators
Explore budget options and suggest alternatives if needed
This collaborative approach helps avoid surprises and guarantees you get exactly what you want.
Design Possibilities for Your Catio
One of the biggest advantages of a custom catio is the freedom to create something truly unique. Dan can build:
Freestanding Catios that stand alone in your garden
Attached Catios that connect directly to your home through a window or door
Multi-level structures with platforms, ramps, and tunnels for active cats
Enclosures with weather protection such as roofs or shade covers
Integrated planting areas for cat-friendly herbs like catnip or cat grass
No matter how simple or elaborate your idea, Dan can bring it to life with quality materials and expert craftsmanship.
Working Within Your Budget
Custom projects often raise concerns about cost. Dan understands this and offers flexible options to suit most budgets. Because he designs and builds everything himself, he can adjust materials, size, and features to keep the project affordable without sacrificing quality.
For example, if you want a smaller catio but still want climbing shelves, Dan can suggest cost-effective materials or modular designs that allow you to expand later. This flexibility means you don’t have to compromise on your cat’s safety or enjoyment.
Benefits of a Custom Catio
Investing in a custom catio brings many advantages for both you and your cat:
Safety: Your cat can enjoy the outdoors without risk of running away or encountering dangers.
Exercise and enrichment: Climbing, exploring, and fresh air improve your cat’s health and happiness.
Peace of mind: You can relax knowing your cat is secure and entertained.
Home value: A well-designed catio can enhance your outdoor space and appeal to future buyers.
Catios by Dan at Custom Pet Enclosures have these benefits with a personal touch that off-the-shelf products cannot match.
What to Expect During Installation
Once the design is finalised, Dan handles the entire build and installation process. He works efficiently to minimise disruption to your home and garden. The installation includes:
Preparing the site and securing foundations if needed
Building the frame work with durable materials
Adding custom features like shelves, doors, and weatherproofing
Final safety checks to ensure your catio is secure and stable
We keep everything as tidy as we can
Dan’s hands-on approach means you deal with one expert from start to finish, making the experience smooth and stress-free.
How to Get Started
If you live in Essex, Kent, or London and want a catio tailored to your home and cat, the first step is to contact Dan at Custom Pet Enclosures.
We do offer on site visits and would love to come out and visit everyone as a first point of contact however unfortunately we don't have enough availability to do this. We get extremely busy throughout the year so initially we ask for images of where the proposed catio will be placed, front and side views if possible and a rough idea of measurements. From there we can give you an approximate quotation. If happy with this we can then come out to take measurements, discuss in detail and show you the materials we use. This visit is free and gives you a clear idea of what’s possible!
Think about:
The space you want to use
Your cat’s personality and activity level
Features you want, like ramps or weather protection
Your budget range
Dan from Custom Pet Enclosures will take it from there, designing a catio that fits your needs perfectly. Sending you a full quotation along with technical drawings after your visit, so you have a clear vision of what it will look like along with the cost.
You can get in touch with us via email, WhatsApp, or give us a call.
We are always happy to help.
