I don't have the money for it now, but i will be saving up to try and make this for my kitties 💜

What a nice man

nice job .. what happened to the cats' tails? at least two of them don't have one?

I'm so glad I found this video. My husband and I are going to build a catio this weekend.

Nice engineering and explanation... if I do this I'll have to be sure to begin 'flea drop treatments' because of the visting cats, raccoons, possums, skunks, etc.

Love it....ia that 1/2 inch pipe? X

Brilliant! While it looks like a lot of work, you seemed to enjoy yourself! :)

Excellent! I loved it.

i love this, thanks

Couple of things... 1 PVC becomes very brittle over time due to exposure to the sun, hot weather and even fluctuating temperature extreme. It just doesn't last a long time. Because of this, not gluing all of the joints can become problematic for structure security and safety for the cats. I would highly recommend gluing the joints together, at least the base frame and exterior frame - walls, roof. True, PVC is inexpensive compared to other building materials and very quick and easy to construct, however regarding long-lasting, it just doesn't last. I have been in the construction industry for over 25+ years, and I have myself built things using PVC because of the same simple easy to use reasons. Hot weather and very cold weather really shortens the life and strength of PVC. The good thing is that you can cut out and replace certain areas of the decaying PVC over time as needed. Don't put it in direct sunlight over extended periods of time. This will shorten the lifespan of the PVC. Utilizing some type of shade will prolong the PVC. However PVC does STILL dry out and eventually weaken, crack and become very brittle. It's not a forever material that is exposed to the weather.

Fantastic hello loved your catio 🐈 🐈‍⬛ lucky cats ~ with love from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤❤❤❤❤

While Trex says 16" oc joist spacing is ok for residential decks go with 12" commercial oc spacing so it don't feel like a diving board when walking on it especially with heavier mowers. I wish now I did for my deck.

Super over-engineered, but nothing wrong with that. When you rip the 2x4's they will feel "mushy" but that's because the ripped section needs to be on compacted earth/gravel which supports it. But I agree, there is more integrity to the frame with the full box construction (the rip design usually relies on the deck boards to hold the frame square.) Joint tape... LOL... that must be necessary since the green-ies killed real pressure treating and oil based paints. Now... just what type of petroleum based chemicals are in that tape? hmmm?

This is wonderful!!!❤❤❤❤

I just emailed this to my hubby. He's going to be busy this weekend - ha! We have 2 cats and currently fostering 4! Foster Mom needs to get them out of the house when I clean :)

This is epic, thanks bro, my cats are gonna go crazy for this

Dont really get what this is for, why dont you just let your cats roam free ?

Great again

Will these PVC pipes hold up during cold winters?

Great job Sir, if only you were near by

Praise Father God in Jesus name amen ☝️🙏🤝👍🙋‍♂️❤️

Very nice cateo, i hope my cats had this catio

Also much thanks for sharing 😽👍

You are totally awesome 😽🇨🇦👍

Wonderful build sir, really want to try just using pvc pipe for the frame instead using some piece of wood 😊👍

Yes, praise God, thank you for this soulful experience 🙏

Praise God and our LORD JESUS; WONDERFUL Song 🤝👍🙋‍♂️☝️🙏🇺🇸❤️

I have got 3 cats and this video is very helpful! Thanks for uploading! Cheers!

Does the carpet fray on outside side? Or did you use anything to finish it?

Great video! Thank you for sharing this with us. I've been wanting to build a catio for a while but hadn't even considered using PVC - fascinating! What a great idea!

❤❤❤❤i love this thank you for the idea sir!

that's a great job and a good idea i bow to the master 👍

Did it all in under 14 minutes, very impressive.

loved your idea for the cat. my cat sat and watched your video with me as if he was planing on helping me build one. I will take your ideas and may add a few of mine. My young man is a monster so I may have to you the 1 inch.

Shoot me now what a terrible noise

😂😂😂

Omg I loved! 🐈🐈🐈🐈 ❤️

Hi, I am making a similar catio based off your design. I couldn't quite see what type of connectors and/or how the pipe was situated just under the roof. It looks like there is a connector facing outward but wonder if that is necessary...

Looks great. This is something that I have wanted to do with my house but I am not sure I have the skills to do it. Every time I attempt a project it never works out like the video I watched. If you don’t mind sharing, what was the approximate cost of the wood used just for the gable? Also, I noticed you attached the gable over the existing roof, so are those boards just exposed on the top of your house? I didn’t see a photo/video showing what this looked like after shingles were installed.

You lost me at height-h

Incredible work! Your video is well-researched, beautifully produced, and thoroughly engaging. I appreciate the effort you put into making such high-quality content. Looking forward to your future videos!

Thank you sir !

Buying a pre built catio or cat house is really costly here in the Philippines. It may not be as grand as this, but you gave me an idea to use PVC pipe for building such catio. Thank you!

why did you do tongue and groove on top of rafters and then do OSB?

thank you! we want to do something like this. I like your idea of the cedar tongue and grove to show when are under it and look up.

I loved it! Beautifully made! I have 6 cats. I'm trying to find the best size options. Greetings from Costa Rica! 🥰

Mantab paman 👏👍good job

Well done in 2024! Practical builder with his sedan for a truck and affordable power tools.
