When building your cat enclosure we will also assess whether there is a need for an access way to be created. Some side of house enclosures don’t need an additional access point as they already incorporate a gate at the front of the house. Others, like an annex, will need some way of accessing the area.
The 2 main options are a door and a zip. The option chosen depends on a number of factors including:
| Consideration | Usage | Recommendation |
| Frequency of access | High traffic area | Door |
| Frequency of access | Low traffic area | Zip |
| Ease of use | Elderly client/ someone with mobility concerns | Door |
| Cost | Cost effective option required | Zip |
| Security | Lockable option required | Door |
All steel used for doors, frames and posts is galvanised but can be powder coated to match fencing or gutter and fascia colours for that extra quality finish.
Not a great photo – but gives the concept of C-shaped zip installed in the end panel of net. The C shape creates width to enable equipment (eg wheelbarrow) or furniture (eg chairs) to be moved in and out of the area.
If access to trees, air-conditioners or gutters is required for pruning/ maintenance and/ or cleaning – a zip can also be placed in a roof panel.
