Building this took several hours and it arrived in two boxes. I definitely recommend two people due to the size. I had my teenage son separate out everything before we started, but we built it together. We built the four walls inside our house, then moved outside to put them all together. The wood is stained and stamped with the assembly letters, which I liked more than peeling off stickers that make a mess after you are done, but it is a bit tougher to see the letters (dark grey on light grey). Make sure your lighting is good when building. The wood is super soft so you have to go very slow when the final screw tightening is done or risk splitting the wood. The wood staining is very visually appealing, but allows for chips or scratches more easily if rubbed against something too hard. Situational awareness is key in this regard. We didn’t go with the standard configuration of shelves/boxes inside but it was very easy to design this to your specific needs. The softer wood also allows for easy customization if you put something other shelves or what have you inside. We ended up cutting a section out of wire out and installing a shelf upside down for the window entrance, for example. You can also easily remove wired sections if you want since the wire is attached with wood staples, but since I knew my location was permanent, I opted to just cut directly into it. We installed this under a covered porch with concrete underneath so we put down a faux grass rug and we also left the roof flat, instead of angled, which saved a small amount of time and doesn’t effect anything because of our placement. At 5’7” I easily fit through the door so I can change things around to suit my current front porch holiday theme. This was a big selling point for me, to not have to duck through the door to enter. We also bought a combination sliding bolt lock for the door so no one could just walk up and open it without the code since we live in a neighborhood and I didn’t want someone possibly walking up and taking my cats. The other small side doors I screwed shut, but this can easily be undone for possible future expansion. All four of our cats already love this catio. It allows them to go outside to view birds and nap in the sun while being protected. All four can easily use it at once and I feel it’s a must so that my indoor cats can experience the outdoors as much as possible. I’m so happy with the beautiful result.

This thing is awesome! My cats are in it all the time. It took quite some time to build, definitely would be easier with 2 people but I handled building it on my own. It's very heavy once put together so I recommend building it close to where you want to put it or have extra hands to move it. It's great quality and is holding up really well with wind, sun, rain, and now snow. I feel like my cats are safe inside the catio. The doors open and close easily and it has openings at the bottom to add a tunnel or 2 if that's desired. It has 2 panels in the back that you can remove to fit to your window. My cats would love to be outdoor cats but I don't like that idea so this is the next best option and they love it.

This catio has been a wonderful addition to my home. My cats have enjoyed sleeping inside as well as atop the roof when the weather permits. Although it was a challenge to build by myself, once fully assembled, I enjoyed decorating and customizing it with a few personal touches such as faux ivy along the roof, decorative corner brackets on the outside and a couple of small artificial potted plants inside. I used Reflectix inside both of the sleeping boxes to provide the cats with additional warmth and protection from elements. Also, I took the advice of other reviewers and painted my catio with Plymouth Red (burgundy color) stain/sealer which complements the grey interior nicely. As for the catio itself, it looks and performs as advertised. Although the wood is soft and relatively thin, it is sufficient for my short-term needs. I do not expect it to last more than a couple of seasons due to its frail nature. Nevertheless, I am well satisfied with this purchase and have enjoyed watching my fur babies lounge and nap in and on their new catio.

I absolutely LOVE this catio (so do my 4 cats.) It’s spacious and big without breaking the bank. It’s amazing quality and was pretty simple to put together, I did it myself. Instructions were helpful. If you’re looking for a catio, this is the one!

This Aivituvin catio is amazing! It’s spacious, sturdy, and gives my cats plenty of room to climb, nap, and enjoy the outdoors safely. The platforms and little houses are perfect for lounging, and the overall structure feels solid once assembled. It took a bit of time to put together, but it was well worth it. My cats spend hours in it every day—I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

First of all the cats love it. I was able to install it near a window and made a make shift catdoor out of it. Just open the window and the cats can go in and out as they desire. The unit is a good size for two cats. I question the long term sturdiness of this. When in the box It was well packaged and protected. not all of the panels were marked so it took a little bit to figure out what each panels was for and what part of assembly it as needed for. Putting it together needs two people. I found that some of the design of the panels were needless and non functional. For example one wall it takes three separate panels where they could have done it as one or two. two sets of panels have Hinges on them, for what I have no idea as they are not apart of a door and the panels get screwed together so they are not operable. When assembling the roof it was quite clear the unit was not square and it took quit of bit of work to get it the roof aligned correctly. in the end I question the logvevity and durability of it. some of the wood is already fracturing and splintering. It's an ok cat house, but knowing what I know now, I think I could have done this better and cheaper with 2x4 from Home Depot with some wire mesh.

Parfait, montage facile !

Ist ein sehr schöner Käfig zu zweit leicht zum aufbauen

Hübsches Gehege, nicht so stabil wie erwartet, beim Zusammenbau (alleine) musste ich schon ziemlich aufpassen, dass nix durchbricht. Unter anderem Seitenschneider beim Zusammenbau erforderlich. Nach recht kurzer Nutzungszeit ist dann ein Türscharnier durchgebrochen. Es regnet und schneit leider teilweise rein, das Dach müsste weiter überstehen. Steht aber ansonsten recht stabil und ist mehrmals wöchentlich im Einsatz.

B09CGNGJZP Aivituvin Catio Outdoor Katzengehege Groß Walk in Cat Kennel Kitten Cage mit Plattformen und kleinen Häusern 2 Pakete ca.50 kg Gut verpackt Aufbauanleitung ein bisschen gewöhnungsbedürftig aber im Großen und Ganzen ok Am besten kurz auf YouTube das Video von der australischen Dame anschauen, dann klappt’s super Unbedingt zu empfehlen, das ganze auf einer stabilen Zimmermausplatte zu stellen und nochmals zu verschrauben

Aufbau geht alleine super einfach, ich habe keine 2 std gebraucht. Ableitung sehr einfach zu lesen. Leider haben die Holzteile teilweise farbabplatzer was allerdings nicht so sehr ins Gewicht fällt. Rund um sehr zu frieden.
