    I'm looking to buy or for someone to build me an outdoor cat enclosure. I've been online and found similar to what I'm looking for but they are all abroad.
    Those in Ireland don't do what I'm looking for.

    You could contact a carpenter or someone who builds aviaries for birds, or have a go at some DIY yourself. I bought a flat pack cat enclosure on omlet.co.uk and it’s working out brilliantly. Cats are safe and happy!

    If you're looking for someone to build it maybe start with a picture of what you're looking for and where you are?

    But, from experience, don't be surprised you'll end up being quoted a lot more than you're looking to spend.
    These things work off economies of scale and buying all the materials to build one could end up being quite expensive

    We made ours ourselves, will PM you some pics when I get a chance. As far as I remember I paid 500 all in for wiring and wood for paneling and door etc. What size are you thinking?

    How much did you pay for the flat pack cat enclosure?

    Gosh I wouldn't know measurements yet, but ideally to cover the part of the house where the sliding doors are. A small patio.

    The price depends on the size you get, I got a big one because I’ve 3 cats but you can see what size would suit you on the website omlet.co.uk

    There is a guy called David Sheerin on Facebook marketplace who is advertising cat enclosures. Company is ST Sheds, based in Offaly. I have not had any dealings with him so can’t give you a recommendation, only just spotted it on FB.

    I have three cat too. So a rough idea for what you paid for the flat pack and where you got it would be great.

    I contacted David Sheeran and he said that he would build me one, sent me invoice and all. That was the last I heard from him.
    Very dissatisfied and disappointed.
    Very unprofessional.

    As above did you pay for it? I paid for mine at time of order, took about 6 weeks to build and delivery, maybe more.

    Have my cat run from him about 2 months now. Delighted with it. Good build quality, found him professional and quick to reply to messages. Only complaint is with the weather I don't get as much use of it as I'd like.
