 Featured Installation - Verandah Haven
 This enclosure was self installed by a happy QLD customer of catnets.com.au. Important here was to create a safe and secure haven for the cats, but also to maintain the aesthetics of the beautiful 125 year old house. The Low-Vis netting worked a treat here, with the netting almost unnoticeable from the street. Read below to see what our customer had to say:
"The house is over 125 years old, and we needed to retain the character, which meant it had to blend in. As you'll see, the low-vis netting is so unobtrusive that if you don't know it's there, you don't really notice it, which is great. Fortunately my landlady knows and loves my cats as much as I do, so their safety was also of importance to her. They (the cats) now feel safe enough from the traffic and the people wandering past to sit on the verandah, and night time is now a fine time for cats to sit in the cool evening breeze and relax. :-)
The net is secured using screw-in cuphooks top and bottom, and timber screwed onto the posts to secure the edges. I haven't managed to put up any hammocks or such as yet, they've got their armchairs and the plants to sit in. :-) When the house is locked up the cats can still get in and out through the windows - they fit between the security bars - and the chairs are postioned to make window access easy. I have yet to do the back verandah, which is a bit smaller, but the basic premise will be the same - except as there are no doors on the back verandah, I'll be using the zips and netting to secure the doorway.
The cats are very happy with the netting - their friendly humans can fit fingers through for petting and sometimes biting, but they're still safe from people they don't know. The local lizard population (and other wildlife) are also safe, and I don't have to spend weekends rescuing lizards. All in all it's great for everyone, and I have the peace of mind of knowing my catpanions are safe but can still enjoy being semi-outdoors. :-)
Thanks heaps!!!"
