DETACHED UNIT W/TUNNEL
STYLE
Free-standing catio separate from the house. These units are accessible by a tunnel approximately 5ft off the ground that is attached to a window or opening on the house. Tunnels can extend around corners from any accessible window or similar opening.
PERFECT FOR
Those who don't want to add the expense of building an attached unit directly to the house. When attached to the house, there are many more parameters and requirements as they are considered an actual addition to the home.
SIZES
This is up to the municipality. Some are more strict than others and not all consider them the same. It can go by type of structure, lot size, other structures present, size, etc. Many consider them an "accessory building." We often see 100sq ft as the maximum size allowed but again, it varies and there are some that allow larger or smaller.
