 Featured Installation - Adventure Playground Part 2
 The lucky cats of this Western Australia residence now have free run of both the back and front yards. After a sensational DIY effort though the backyard (Adventure playground part 1), the owner has decided to create an equally stunning enclosure at the front of the house. Take a look through the photos below, which shows usage of the Low-Vis netting and Wire-Rope installation technique.
"Hello Mark,
I thought that you may be interested in the cat enclosure that I have built using your low-vis 19mm netting.
Our existing cat enclosure ('Adventure Playground') is to the side and rear of our home, however, we enjoy sitting on our front verandah and after some 'visualising' I thought the front verandah and associated courtyard would also make a nice cat enclosure.
The attached photos show that I have generally run stainless steel wire through eyelet screws to fasten the netting at ground level, to the garage wall, the verandah pillar and to the underside of the gutter flashing. I attached pine battens to the underside of the flashing (as it would have been too difficult to attach eyelet screws to the metal flashing - much easier to screw them into soft timber).
I also picked up a second-hand screen door from the recycling depot and have hung this between the wall of the house and the verandah pillar (the verandah is the route from our front door to the garage, so we need the access). The cats get to this cat enclosure through our bedroom window - the window is dead-bolted, but open enough for them to get through - and I have cut the corner of the fly wire so that they can push through it.
