CATFENCE is the exclusive New Zealand distributor of the OSCILLOT® system.
Installation of your Oscillot® system
Oscillot is simple to install, requiring only a few basic handtools – although an electric cut-off saw makes large jobs easier.
Types of installation
Top Mount
The easiest way to install your system, and it may discourage cats from entering your yard – although this will depend on many factors.
Face Mount
Invisible to neighbours and ideal if your fence has posts that extend above the top rail, preventing a continuous span of Oscillot paddles.
Bracket Mount
Brackets can be positioned in many ways, allowing Oscillot to project farther into your yard. They’re also useful when working around obstacles. Learn more.

Using brackets
Brackets aid in the effectiveness of the Oscillot® System by bringing the paddles away from the fence a few centimetres.
Brackets are typically used with timber fences, which are easy to climb.
TIP: You can position your brackets in many different ways. Experiment to find which way is most suitable for your particular fence type.
