CATIO MATERIALS

All of our lumber is sourced from a local lumber provider that we have a relationship with, not big box stores.  This ensures our lumber is straight and sturdy.  We only use treated lumber to withstand Wisconsin's changing of the seasons.

We use pro-rib metal roofing and kneewall siding on the lower 20" of the catio perimeter.  You choose your roof color, siding color, and trim color.  It carries a 40yr warranty.

Our Amish builder, Alvin, custom builds our doors and finishes them with a heavy handle and sturdy lock so you can keep your catio locked and secure.  Doors can be finished in a color to match or accent your roof and siding.

WE DO NOT USE CHICKEN WIRE OR METAL MESH!  Our screen is covered in a smooth coating that withstands climbing and prevents birds, critters, bugs and flying insects from entering the catio, and then your home.  (Our 8 cats have been climbing it for 5 years and it still looks as good as new).  It does not warp, loosen, or stretch.  We attach each panel separately and trim it out on the exterior.  In the event that something ever happens to a panel due to a storm or accidental damage, all you have to do is unscrew the trim and you can replace just one panel with ease.  You can purchase more screen from us if this ever happens.  I've never had to replace one of my many panels but during a straight-line wind storm here in Winnebago County in 2022, I was grateful that I had the option if I needed it.  

Pet protected flooring in your choice of 6 patterns and colors.  Having a floor allows you to keep the catio clean, but it also prevents bugs and insects from coming up into the catio from the ground.  In addition, we have floor joists, treated plywood, and the flooring is adhered to the top.
