Many families think of installing fences so that they can feel safe about having their dogs out in the yard during the day, but most people don’t realize that fences can also be used to help keep cats safe while enjoying the outdoors. Could a cat fence be the right choice for your family?
Do You Want to Let Your Cat Outside?
Deciding to let your cat outside is a big step, and many factors play into it. Does your cat have an adventurous personality and love exploring new places? Are you able to keep your cat safe while they are outside of your home? Does your cat spend most of the day looking outside and watching the world? A cat fence is a great way to let your cat enjoy the outdoors while still feeling safe.
Metal Cat Fences
Metal fencing is a wonderful option for pet owners looking to let their cats roam around outside. Metal fences made of stainless steel, aluminum, or wrought iron can be manufactured to match your tastes and style preferences. Metal fences typically require less maintenance than wood fencing and they also typically last much longer. Metal fences work especially well as cat fences, as cats cannot climb onto and grip metal as easily as they can wood.
Roller Bars on Your Existing Fence
If you already have a cat fence but don’t trust that it is doing the job of keeping your cat only in your yard, roller bars are a great way to increase security. Roller bars can be installed onto fences made of any material (including wood) and stop your cat from getting the grip to climb over them. They are not as intimidating as spiky strips and work just as well. Roller bars can be installed other places in your yard as well (on top of sheds or playgrounds) to also keep your cat from getting up too high and jumping out of your yard.
