Dear Helen,

What sort of mesh materials are your cat enclosures made of? I've been
enclosing my existing back verandah to make a space for the cats to play
in and am about to order some mesh for the walls. The mesh I've been
recommended by a local supplier is made of a UV stabilised plastic
material with mesh squares about 15 mm wide (about 5/8" for you modern
USAnians :) ). The threads are made up of 3 plys and feel sort of like
fishing line.
in our first enclosure we used a military camouflage net which is UV
stabilised. That worked quite well. Have a look at:

metal fence around our garden. The mesh squares are about 35 mm wide and
perfect: http://www.gwsystems.com/inge/Galerie/alkatztraz/e_index.html
I'm a bit anxious about the plastic material, because it breaks easily
after beeing outside in the weather for some time. Although your supplier
states that it is UV stabilized, I wouldn't trust it. On the other hand,
the plastic gives predators like martens a chance to get in (and the cats
to come out). When they use their teeth, the plastic has no chance.
I would always prefer some chicken mesh. Then you can be sure, that the
enclosure lasts for a long time:-)
Purrs to you
Inge and the catgang
