My brother, SIL and I have been working on a deck alongside my cathouse this past week. It's 30' by 8', will have 2x4 flooring and a metal roof. (Comes off the side of the building at 8' and slopes down to 6'. The framing is going to be the same as for a house, 2x4's every 16 or 24 inches. I'm not sure, that's my brother's department. My first inclination is to use chainlink all around with anything above the 6' mark just enclosed with plywood.
I used vinyl covered wire on my enclosure in town and have chickenwire on their current outdoor space, but it sets on top of another building (a roof actually) and so it's far enough off the ground that things that go bump in the night can't get in there.
We have the beams cemented in, floor joists in place and are going to do the floor tomorrow. (If it's not 107 degrees) I once had a 3-4 month old kitten get it's head stuck in a 2x2 inch vinyl covered wire, so I do have concerns about the chainlink. I know you can special order it with smaller mesh, but it's about double the price.
Any words of wisdom? I have to pick up the wire in the next couple days.
