Five years ago we got new kittens (yes, COVID kittens) but each of my 2 pairs of cats had lived for 15-20 years. We decided to enclose our backyard with the existing fence conversion because I had realized how harmful cats are to bird populations. We also were getting coyotes walking down the urban streets in the middle of the day, so keeping them in the back yard would hopefully keep them safe. The person who helped m plan my fencing system was a little leery about having a picket fence included on the system, but it has worked very well. The photo below shows how the fencing disappears and is barely visible. I was worried that it might make my back yard look like a prison! But it doesn't at all. Another benefit that I wasn't considering was that extension of the short picket fence has deterred coyotes from entering into the back yard from this side area. I still bring the cats in at night. The cats are very happy to be out in the whole back yard hunting bugs, butterfly and the occasional gopher. I'm writing this now since I had to order a couple of extra conversion brackets. I needed them to replace some brackets I had rigged up to help save on cost. This is an expensive (to me) system but hot having to take the cats to the vets after cat fights, or losing them to predators is so worth the investment. Thanks Purrfect fence!!
So far it’s been working great!
It was easy to assemble! my customers loved it! Great material and 100% recommended!!!!!
Purrfect! So far Bijou has not tried to escape, I feel it is totally worth the cost. Thank You.
We installed a 15x30 foot free standing enclosure with a window door and a heavy gate. We struggled quite a bit with the installation even though we watched the video several times and followed the instructions. I wish I had read the instructions about three times before starting the project. Also, we are fairly handy, good with tools, and have done many projects. This one was tough! It didn’t turn out picture-perfect but it has been a game changer for our two cats. At first I was skeptical that they could not escape. They’ve tried. It’s so wonderful for them to enjoy the outdoors without any danger of being harmed. A final note, the locked cat door was easily opened by them, so we reversed it so the knobs face outside. We can still open it from the inside but so far they haven’t been able to. I also highly recommend getting the hog ring pliers - so much easier than all those zip ties.
I have no building experience. This went up great. My cats love it. They don't want to be in the house anymore. They still watch birds, but can't reach them anymore.
I bought the fence out of necessity because a new neighbor was threatening my cats. However, I have been a cat lover for many years and truly wish that I knew about these fences and had it installed a long time ago. I paid a couple of coworkers to install it around my small yard in front of an existing fence. It took 3 days to do almost 300 feet with 3 gates. The cats do not try to climb it, but a couple still search the bottom for a hole every day. Several meet me at the gate but none try to run out. The fence hasn't slowed down the raccoons however, still have 6 of them coming and going every night. The fence works purrfectly for who it was intended tho. My only complaint is during rainy weather and getting through the gate. The netting holds water and you do get wet. But that is a minor issue to deal with to have safe happy kitties!
