If you have it can you show off your pictures of your outside cage? I was thinking of getting a dog run, but it just donâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t seem right. So I want to build something but when I actually get around to doing it I get lost. I was thinking of using lattice, but the holes are too big my cats could get out, and the smaller ones are so small it would make a dark cage. So any ideas would be great, and I can keep you posted on how it is going.

My outdoor enclosure is 6 feet high, 8 feet long, and 12 feet wide. I have four shelves for the cats to sit on. I used chicken wire but I do not recommend it as it is to weak and I will need to replace mine. We have a door on the outside for people to use and the cats door is on one of our windows screens. For the cats door we framed it with wood and used a mud flap. We put the cats door on regular screen which is now ripping so we will need to redo that with pet screen. It was really inexpensive to build (we acually didn't pay a thing all the supplies were already laying around in our shed) and took about 2 days to build only becaus we cemented the posts in and waited for them to dry before we did the wire. If I can find my pictures on a disk I will add them later.
