Hi. This is the best video of how to build a catio I have seen yet. Finally, a step by step video guide. Excellent I noticed the wood that you used is a lot thicker than the ones I have seen in other videos. Can't wait to start this project for my cat Alex. Thanks!

[@micky5552]

Many DIY projects in your channel inspired me to do, easy (hehe...by it looks), what i like is material are pictured and briefly explained 👌

[@bandq]

You can do it 💪

[@dmacinnis1]

I like the layout of this, as it is in sections. So, you could re-arrange the position of the door. Looking to add a catio to a deck, and this was quite helpful.

Is there a full part list available for this build?

[@bandq]

Hi there, if you click on the (i) at the top right of the video, you will see a list of items used. All timber dimensions can be found throughout the video and are available on our website or instore bit.ly/3OHSjxJ 😊

[@Kahawai68]

Is it ok to use treated timber for pets?

[@Daniel-ei5mb]

Do I have to drill through the wood of the outer frame in 1:47 ? ,Also Do I have to piece the nail through the outer frame to the wall too? Can’t wait to start the project,thanks

[@bandq]

Hi there! You do have to drill through the outer frame, and then we suggest you use a hammer fixing to attach the outer frame to the wall. Hope this helps! 😄

[@kelseycole9315]

This video is amazing! Can you give me a cost of supplies for the basic structure?

[@bandq]

Hi there, if you click on the (i) at the top right of the video, you will see a list of items used. The cost will depend on the size of structure you're planning to make. All timber dimensions can be found throughout the video and are available on our website or instore bit.ly/3OHSjxJ 😊

[@angeline74]

Clicking on the info icon doesn't show all the parts used. Is there a full list of items available somewhere? Would be so helpful.

[@bandq]

Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We'll make sure to pass this back internally.

[@shayegan10]

[@mikes4086]

They don’t actually sell the wood specified in this video so you may be out of luck!

[@maribia96]

Can someone pls explain the measurements to me? 2.4m x 70mm x 44mm? What does that translate to at like Home depot in the US?

[@bandq]

Hi there, you can enter the measurements into a search engine to convert from mm to inches. Your local DIY store should be able to help you with this too 😊
