Which cat netting is right for your install?

Both formats use the same UV-rated 19mm mesh in your choice of black or stone. The difference is how you buy: by the metre for a custom-sized run, or in pre-cut rolls for predictable bulk projects.

	Custom lengthCat Netting: By the Metre	Best for big projectsCat Netting: Rolls
Best for	Single windows, balconies, fence-line patches	Full enclosures, long fence runs, multi-area projects
Sold as	Custom-cut to your length (per square metre)	Pre-cut rolls in a wide range of sizes (1.2m-25m wide, 5m-100m long)
Colour options	Black · Stone · Premium stainless	Black · Stone · Premium stainless · Reinforced edging
Best when you	Have a small job or require odd lengths	Have a bigger, measured project and want bulk savings

Not sure? Single-window or partial-balcony installs almost always start with the by-the-metre range. You only pay for what you cover. Full enclosures, fence runs, or multi-room projects usually work out cheaper with a pre-cut roll. Both options ship from our Sydney warehouse.

Keeping your cats safe with Cat Enclosures

Are you looking to keep your cat safe on your property? Perhaps it's now the law where you live to prevent your cat from roaming? Catnets has your needs covered with all the materials you need to build your own enclosure.

Cat netting is a knotted polyethylene mesh designed to safely contain cats outdoors while letting them experience fresh air, sunshine, and the smells of the garden. Unlike garden netting or bird netting, cat-proof netting uses a 19mm mesh size and a UV-rated construction. Small enough that paws can't get caught, strong enough to take a determined leap.

The vast majority of cat owners use cat netting for three setups: enclosing an apartment balcony, covering a back patio or deck, or topping a backyard fence so cats can't jump over. Same netting, different installs. Sold either by the metre (cut to your exact length) or in pre-cut rolls (ready for big projects).

Quality matters more than it looks. Cheap cat netting from competitors are usually woven nylon. It sags within months, frays on the cut edge, and degrades in direct sunlight. Catnets's cat safety netting is pre-stretched knotted polyethylene, so it won't bag out under load, and it's UV-rated to retain 93% of its tensile strength after 10 years outdoors. Cut it to size with regular scissors; it won't fray.

Installation is DIY-friendly. Most balcony and window jobs are done in under an hour using our fastening clips and range of hardware. Larger backyard or fence-line installs combine the netting with our stainless steel wire system and edging rope. See the DIY hardware collection for the full kit.

Whether you're cat-proofing a city balcony, screening a patio for two cats, or building a full outdoor cat enclosure, the goal is the same: keep cats off the road, away from foxes and predators, and out of trouble, while giving them the outdoor stimulation they thrive on.

01 What size mesh is cat-proof?

Catnets's cat netting uses a 19mm mesh. Small enough that cat paws and heads can't pass through, large enough to keep the netting low-vis and breathable. We've used this mesh size on thousands of installs across Australia.

02 Should I buy cat netting by the metre or in rolls?

By-the-metre orders are best for single-area installs like a balcony, a window, or a partial fence. You only pay for what you cover. Pre-cut rolls work out cheaper for full enclosures, long fence runs, and any project where you already know the dimensions. Same mesh, same UV rating, both ship from our Sydney warehouse.

03 How long does cat netting last outdoors?

Our knotted polyethylene cat netting is UV-rated and retains 93% of its tensile strength after 10 years of direct sunlight. Real-world installs across Australia have lasted that long without replacement. Salt air, rain, snow, and freeze-thaw cycles don't affect it.

04 Can I install cat netting myself?

Yes. Most window, balcony, and patio installs take under an hour with our range of hardware. Larger fence runs and full enclosures take an afternoon and may need our stainless steel wire system for tensioning.

We also offer a range of installation videos for each surface type.

05 Is cat netting visible from a distance?

Black is the lowest-visibility option. It visually disappears against shaded backgrounds. Stone (a warm light grey) blends with light walls and railings. Both come in the same 19mm mesh. Most customers pick black for window and balcony installs because it reads as a faint shadow rather than netting.

06 Does cat netting block sunlight or airflow?

The 19mm mesh blocks less than 5% of light and effectively zero airflow. Plants under cat netting grow normally; balconies stay breezy. It's significantly more transparent than mosquito screens or shade cloth.
