Walk-Through Catios – Secure Side-of-House Outdoor Cat Enclosures
Serving Essex, Kent & London
A Safe, Practical & Enjoyable Outdoor Experience for Your Cat
Enhance your outdoor area with a Walk-Through Catio, thoughtfully designed to create a safe, secure, and enjoyable outdoor cat enclosure for your feline companion. Ideal for installation along the side of your house, this catio style allows your cat to experience the sights, sounds, and fresh air of the outdoors while remaining fully protected.
Our Walk-Through Catios are bespoke and carefully designed to suit your available space, making them a practical and elegant solution for narrower areas or side access paths.
Free In-Home Consultation & Bespoke Design
Dan will visit your home for a free, no-obligation face-to-face consultation to discuss the best placement, layout, and size for your walk-through catio. During the consultation, he will guide you through all available options, including:
-
Roofing choices, including polycarbonate and mesh
-
Optional guttering and water management systems
-
Finish options, either professionally painted in a colour of your choice or left natural
-
Different catio styles and layouts
-
Interior play equipment, shelving, ramps, and dens
-
Materials used and construction methods
And of course — meeting your cats is always part of the process.
Thoughtful Planning & Creative Solutions
We pride ourselves on keeping our business creative, personal, and detail-focused. Following the consultation, Dan will take precise measurements and consider practical solutions for any obstacles within the proposed space, ensuring your walk-through catio is both functional and visually cohesive.
Additional features that can be incorporated include:
-
Water butts and guttering
-
Decking areas
-
Roof systems for added weather protection
-
Custom-designed shelving, walkways, and dens
-
Artificial grass flooring, ideal for side-of-house catios as it’s easy to maintain, clean, and keep looking fresh
We welcome your ideas and will also provide expert recommendations to help you create a catio that is truly tailored to your home and your cat’s needs.
Designed Around Your Home & Cats
With side-of-house catios often benefiting from natural shelter, adding a roof system can further enhance comfort and usability year-round. Every Walk-Through Catio we build is designed to be a seamless and PURR-fect addition to your home, offering both practical value and enrichment for your cat.

We are all about keeping your cats safe, happy and secure.
Dan thrives on challenges, and this catio project was our very first design and installation. Our amazing customers took a leap of faith in choosing us, despite our lack of reviews (at that time), as we had just begun our journey. What set us apart from the competition when asking our customers, was our commitment to providing a free design consultation where we could see and take into account all the factors that could affect their build, rather than just asking for measurements, quoting and giving a build date.
We strive to give a personal service which goes above a beyond just building an enclosure. It needs to be the PURR-FECT space for our customers and pets.
Above you can see some of the images Christina took when she visited Barney a few months after the catio was built. We love that our customers gave us permission to do this as it truly showcases our work and shows you as a potential customer our dedication to make sure you receive the best service from us at Custom Pet Enclosures. We’re grateful for the trust our initial customers placed in us and are excited to create beautiful spaces for every client we meet.
