COVER FRAME IN WELDED WIRE (a ste p s too l o r l adder i s r ecom me nd ed)
A
6A. Measure and cut (2) sections of 44” tall welded wire
mesh M to 86” in length.
6B. On a at surface at least 8ft x 8ft square, lay the two
sections for mesh side by side. Make them overlap one
square of mesh along the long edge. Secure that overlap
with zip ties on both edges of the overlap at every 3rd
square (every 3”).
6C. Once the panel is complete it will look like the diagram
6C.
6D. Place this on top of the assembled frame and secure
with enough zip ties by looping a tie around the upper
horizontal tube A and the wire mesh. Using 4 ties on
each edge so the top mesh is in place and not sagging.
Additional ties will be added to further secure the top
in step 5d. This step is easiest with a 2nd person. If
working alone, use a tie close to each end of one of
the top horizonal 84” tubes rst, then secure the other
sides with one tie in the middle of the other three upper
horizontal 84” tubes A . Once the top section is up,
adjust its alignment as necessary and add ties near both
ends of the upper horizontal tubes with ties only in the
middle.
6E. Secure an edge of wire mesh with zip ties at ground level
to the 84” tube A that the gate hinges on.
6F. Unroll the fence around the entire bottom half of the
frame away from the gate securing at each corner with a
few zip ties. Secure the mesh to the 82” tube/gate latch
tube and both vertical 80” tube D and E of the gate.
Cut the mesh at the hinge side of the gate (no mesh
between the hinge side of gate and the 84” tube A the
gate hinges on).
6G. Secure the bottom of the mesh to the bottom horizontal
84” tubes with zip ties every 6th square until reaching
the gate. The mesh is to be secured to the bottom 28”
tube and the lower part of the vertical 80” tubes of the
gate but not to the 84” tube section directly under the
gate.
6H. Repeat steps 6E and 6F for the top half of the Catio. The
mesh should overlap one-two squares in the middle.
Secure that overlay at every other square like in step 6B.
6I. Cut the mesh along the 84” tube / gate vertical A latching
tube. Cut the mesh as needed to be able to ip the latch.
Take care not to cut more mesh than needed as you do
not want to make a hole a cat could t through. Trim the
mesh along the edge of the gate. There should be no
mesh between the gate and gate hinge vertical tube.
6J. Ensure that every tube that touches wire is zip tied on
every 3rd square. In addition, where the mesh overlaps in
the middle ensure that there is a zip tie every 3rd square.
Once completed you are free to enjoy your Playhouse!
