The net serves its purpose. I had expected more from the "wire reinforcement". Effectively, it’s just a regular net made of sturdy mesh fabric.

Our tomcats chew on the net, and unfortunately, the tiny wire doesn’t help much. So far (for 4 weeks), nothing has been gnawed through—hopefully, it lasts a bit longer. But for the price, it’s alright.

The net itself is good and serves its purpose. However, you need to be careful in outdoor areas to ensure it doesn’t come into contact with any facades, walls, or similar surfaces, as the wire in the net tends to rust. Where it touches other objects, it causes ugly, almost impossible-to-remove stains. I’ve now bought a net without wire, as my cats don’t chew on it.

Unfortunately, the net had 4 defects, one of which was a stitch that wasn’t connected at all. I had to fix it myself as I urgently needed the net, but unfortunately, I can’t give a good review because the issue was right in the middle of the net. I would have expected there to be far fewer defects.

I ordered a 6-metre-long net for my 3.20-metre balcony based on the other reviews here. Judging by eye, I’d say it covered everything except for about 1 metre. It seems the 6 metres only apply to the four corners that extend outwards in a trapezoid shape. Additionally, the net shouldn’t be completely taut so that the cats can’t climb up it. So, to be on the safe side, you should buy 2 metres more than you’d need based on the balcony length.

So, if the budget doesn’t allow for it, it’s a good alternative, but it’s significantly harder to install than the more expensive branded net. You can definitely tell the difference.

Our balcony is 6m long, and we needed about 1.8m in height. So, 2x 2x3m is perfectly suitable. The fastening cord is sufficient, as are the hooks. However, the cut edges are very short, so almost all the knots had to be redone. Now everything fits, and our kitty is enjoying her time on the balcony.

Cat protection net with wire reinforcement didn’t convince me, as the fine, thin wires stick out in places. Better workmanship would be highly desirable.

For my 9-metre-long balcony, I bought a 6x3 metre and a 4x3 metre transparent net. Both were cut in a diamond shape, and unfortunately, the 4x3 metre net only had 2 metres in length that were fully usable. I actually wanted to send one of the nets back straight away, but my friend had specifically set aside the day to finally install the thing on the balcony. He ended up improvising and patching it together, and luckily, I had ordered an extra metre, but you really can't call it 4x3 metres! The quality, however, is excellent, and my two 3-month-old kittens haven't managed to chew through it yet. Thanks to the transparency, my balcony thankfully doesn't look too dark. However, the net reflects quite a bit in the sunshine. Still, I prefer that over dark green or black.

We have a length of 7.40m on the balcony, so we ordered the 8m. However, we had to really fiddle with the length because the net isn’t rectangular but trapezoidal, which means you lose quite a bit of length... Definitely order more than you think you’ll need.

The net is of better quality than the Trixie net, but unfortunately, I have to say that there were also 4 defects in this net, which really disappointed me! The knots between the meshes come undone quite quickly, which is not exactly ideal... Price/performance ratio is reasonable.

Our balcony is 7.40m long, so I ordered the 8x3m net. However, the net doesn’t have a completely rectangular shape like the open side of our balcony. At the beginning and end of the rope, it tapers into a triangular shape and becomes much narrower. This made it impossible to attach the net straight; it just about fit, and the individual squares now have more of a diamond shape than a square shape. Additionally, there was also a defect in the net that I’ll need to fix with some string.

In principle, the net is very good. Unfortunately, I found 3 flaws in the net, but I was able to fix them. However, I was surprised by the "wire reinforcement": a thin little wire, and not everywhere either – the wire is completely missing in some sections. So far, my cats haven’t realised that they could probably chew through it, and I hope they never try...
