PawHut Outdoor Cat House, Catio Wooden Feral Cat Shelter, Cat Cage with Platforms, Large Enter Door, Weather Protection Asphalt Roof, 71" L, Brown

Easy to put together (took two hours with help), but definitely don’t try to move it on your own or everything kinda shifts/doesn’t line up well. It’s not super extra sturdy but it’s weathered three or four bad storms and been totally fine! It’s not very big but my large cat (16 pounds) loves it (can’t sit on top shelf though)

I like it! I had read some reviews that the wood was cheap and that is not true. The wood is the same wood that you see when you buy an Enclosed rabbit hutch, chicken coup or any inclosed area at a feed store or pet store I would describe the wood as soft wood. So when assembling it be gentle with your drill.Next it was very easy to assemble all the panels were numbered and the instructions were easy to understand. With that being said I recommend that 2 people assemble this. I think it would be frustrating for one. It could be done but I don’t recommend it.There was one panel where the wood was splitting it wasn’t big and I really really needed this enclosure. So I had some cat guard tape and glue and that problem was solved. I might at that, of course this is wood and it’s not always going to arrive perfect.I compared the price if this catio to other companies and thus companies was the cheapest for the exact same product under a different brand name.I will say I was worried when I first ores this product but I am very happy I ordered it abs have no regrets I will order from this company again!!!!!

I wanted a cat enclosure that I could put up against the outside of my cat door from the garage so my cat could get some fresh air if she wanted. I think this catio is a little bit small for the money. I’m 65 years old (female)and was able to assemble it by myself and I was glad I had an electric screwdriver.Two of my boards didn’t have pre-drilled holes one had a big scuff but other than that all the pieces were there and the hardware was there. I made a couple modifications as I didn’t need the screen door because I left that middle panel out so I could set it up against my garage. Overall it was fairly flimsy. we have raccoons and possums in our yard that love to get into everything so I added stabilizer boards to each section. I thought the roof was especially sturdy and hopefully raccoon proof.If my cat wasn’t 15 years old I’d probably invest in a cyclone fence dog enclosure. But I did need the roof to make it completely critter proof. Overall I’m not terribly disappointed but the cat doesn’t seem super excited about it…

Gives indoor cats the option to safely go outside and watch the birds.

Pawhut does nit disappoint..cats love it!

After a couple months roof started to deteriorate and it’s under an overhang. Sagging & a year later it’s completely unusable. Definitely not really made for outside. Not worth the $ for the few months use you get out of it begore roof sags & collapses.

Just the right size for my two cats. They love being outdoors and yet they are safe. The gray color was a weird purple, so I painted it. Sturdy and relatively easy to assemble.

I purchased this in May 2022. It's cute, reasonably sturdy, and my cat loves it. I could have made something more durable for maybe half the cost, so I think the price is reasonable for the time saved.Here's the problem: as the summer wore on, the flat roof panels - which are just plywood covered with a heavy coating of asphalt - began to bow inward when they got wet. Now, they are very misshapen (see photos.) There are major issues with this!1. The gaps between the three panels are now so large that they provide little shelter from the weather;2. If rain could do this to them, they clearly will not be able to handle a Maine winter. Any significant snowfall will be the end of them;3. When they collapse under the snow, if the two end panels don't come loose from their screws, the whole structure is in danger - the panels are heavy and the framing is very thin;4. Most worrying, when the roof fails, the middle panel will fall straight through because it has less support than the two end panels (in fact, none at all now.) It is heavy, as I said, and would certainly injure my cat if she doesn't sense it coming - it's right over where she likes to sit.Obviously, I'm taking steps to make sure these things don't happen. I am doing this at my own expense because it has become urgent, but I intend to contact the company, as well. This design flaw worried me from the moment I saw those panels. It seems to me a surprisingly amateurish mistake - there's a reason why houses have peaked rooves, gutters, etc!I've purchased some deck paint and 2 pieces of marine plywood. One is a single sheet that covers the roof opening, and the other is a 5" x 71" strip that will prop the roof panel up on one side, creating a slight angle. I hope it's enough. The resulting new openings will be made safe again with some scraps of wire mesh that I have left over from another catio project. Perhaps the manufacturer would consider a similar solution for this otherwise decent product.I will update this review after I contact the seller/manufacturer, if there's anything to report.
