Since the gate is attached to the fence, the weight of the gate hits the ground when it is opened or closed.
The gate latch opens when it's up, so it's difficult for a cat to jump and try to open it.
Even if a cat tries to open the bottom of the gate, it is difficult for the cat to get out because it is sturdy.
This fence has changed my cats lives for the better. If I had the money, I’d fence my entire yard in with it. Love!
Relatively easy to install - 100 linear feet installed by one person in about 10 hours. Definitely goes faster with a helper.
Effective deterrent for my 6 month old kitten. He can scale the 10 foot tall section of my horizontally-slatted fence, but has not even tried to get out where the purrfect fence topper is installed. Just added the fence topper to the 10 foot sections as well.
Worth it!
The stray cats that I rescued are safe and sound in my fence!! It’s been 60 days. They were used to be roaming free on 3 acres.
My purpose for purchasing this item was actually to prevent iguanas from having the leverage on the tree, to climb high enough to eat the flowers of my plant beneath the tree. It has actually worked quite well for the larger iguanas, because they cannot get a grip on the trunk, causing a great deal of difficulty for them when climbing down from the tree. This makes them not as interested as they used to be in sitting in the tree. I would say that this item worked better than any other option that I have, so I would recommend it. If it can deter iguanas from climbing, it should surely deter cats.
We bought the medium kit, which was enough for two medium size tree trunks. Easy to put up and is great to stop our cats climbing up a tree right next to our fence.
I used the fence conversion kit the day after I moved into my previous property with my 4 rescue cats.
Five years later my husband and I moved into our new house with a much larger garden and brought our old system (mesh and brackets) with us. Unfortunately we didn’t have anywhere near enough mesh for the new garden, so after a quick call to the company and a bargain price later, 30 more metres of mesh arrived, just two days after the call!
It only took an hour in torrential rain to cat proof the garden, and our recent rescue cat (the others passed through illness to rainbow bridge over the years) eagerly ran out to explore his new domain!
As usual, it works perfectly and has kept him in, and the neighbourhood cats out! With my anxiety, I couldn’t have cats going outside if it weren’t for this firm - a massive thank you to you all, from all of us!
