ABOUT US
CatioGuys began with a background in shed building and a simple idea: to create safe, outdoor spaces where cats can explore, play and relax. Combining craftsmanship with a genuine love for cats, we design and build quality enclosures made to last.
​
Our catios are built using durable timber and galvanized mesh, designed to be weather-resistant, secure and tailored to your space and your cat’s personality.
​
Whether you choose one of our three signature designs -The BALCONY, The HAVEN, The BACH - or need something completely custom, we’ll work with you to bring your vision to life.
