Her property had:

• several types of fence
• raised garden beds in front of fences
• 4 gates
• 2 outbuildings close to fences
• a deck
• lots of foliage to be trimmed
  and…
• a large tree near one fence (and it had to stay)

Fortunately, we are able to recommend the very versatile Purrfect Fence system, including:

• Purrfect Fence Standard Height System on her tall fences (at least 1.8m high)
• Purrfect Fence Low Fence System on the lower fences (such as those with garden beds in front), and
• A little bit of Purrfect Fence Freestanding System to do a small detour around her favourite tree (see top photo).

All three systems use the patented Purrfect Fence arm with pivoting joint, and they link together to form a continuous cat barrier.

“After losing two cats to road accidents, I got in touch with Neil to see if it was possible to cat proof my backyard,” says Janine.

“Neil was very helpful and prompt with communication. He drew up an amazing plan for my fairly large, complex yard. The product was sent down from Auckland to Wellington and I was happy with the price and quality. The fencing has been installed by my builder and I am over the moon with the result. The cat fencing looks surprisingly low profile and blends well with my black fencing. My two cats are loving having the outdoor space to explore and I am enjoying the back doors open with peace of mind that they are safe. Thank you so much Neil, this has been a game changer.”

The NZCF cares for unwanted cats and kittens in a spacious rural setting and we were delighted when they chose to have us work with them on upgrading one of their two enclosures.

This “cat corral”, measuring 35 metres by 6 metres, had a chicken wire roof and lots of partitions. It was hard for the NZCF volunteers to move about easily, and trimming the many olive trees was almost impossible due to the low roof which was sagging and had developed a few gaps.

On Monday 8 January we got an early start, and here’s a look at how things went:

“Who’s that coming? Oh, it’s just that guy from catfence.nz.”

“You’re not going to make us move out of the way, are you?”

The old mesh roof had become saggy and had a few gaps.

“I’ll just hide up here while the humans get to work.”

NZCF volunteers removing the wire mesh roof – a big job!

Just a few of the many Purrfect Fence arms required for this installation. Even though the fence is 2m tall, we used the Low Fence arms to gain extra height because there are several items within the enclosure from which a cat could jump. At the far left, you can see a different type of cat fencing installed several years go on the adjacent enclosure. Unlike Purrfect Fence, that system does not have a spring-loaded horizontal arm at the top.

On these arms the Purrfect Fence poly mesh has been attached to the spring-loaded arms, and is looking very tidy. The poly mesh is the same material used in deer fencing, with a 600-lb breaking strength!

Here the installation is almost finished, and the olive trees have been trimmed. The enclosure is now open to the sky and volunteers arriving for the afternoon shift were excited to see this tidier and more open area.

Happy customers. Or at least happy that we were finished and they could get back to sleep. 🙂

Our thanks go to Anne, Tracey and Michael from the NZCF for their great work in rescuing cats and for helping get this Purrfect Fence installation complete. Here’s a video tour of the sanctuary, before the addition of Purrfect Fence:

As a rule-of-thumb, Purrfect Fence brackets are installed on the innermost surfaces of a fence – in this case on the posts. Then the poly mesh is secured around the posts and onto the fence.

Rory installed Purrfect fence at his home in Christchurch last month. Afterwards, he told us:

“The springs were far more powerful and sturdy than I’d expected. Overall, it’s a very tidy solution, pretty easy to install and far better than the temporary net I’d strung up last year on wires between the soffit & fence!”

With Purrfect Fence, that’s no problem at all. The height of each arm can be set to provide a smooth top line for the cat containment system, regardless of the steps or varying slope in the fence.

Purrfect Fence is so versatile, in fact, it even works on very low fences (as low as 1 metre).

The Purrfect Fence system shown here was purchased from us recently and installed at an Auckland home.
