Before letting your cat explore the balcony, it’s important to install netting correctly. Cat-proof balcony netting works best when fitted securely and regularly checked for wear. Here are the main points to keep in mind:

• Choose strong materials: Opt for high-quality, tear-resistant netting with a small mesh size (max. 30x30 mm).
• Secure all sides: Attach the net firmly to railings, walls, or ceilings using cable ties, hooks, or tension rods.
• Ensure proper height: The top should be at least 2 metres high to prevent climbing over.
• Close off gaps: Make sure the bottom is tight against the floor or railing to block escape routes.
• Check regularly: Inspect the installation for loose or damaged areas.
• Keep the view: Transparent cat netting for balconies is available if you want protection without blocking sunlight or scenery.

Tip: Many owners combine a cat net balcony setup with a cat flap for PVC doors or flaps for walls to allow easy in-and-out access.
