FAQ
DIY Catio Consultation Questions
Why pay for consulting if I'm doing the work myself?
Mistakes are expensive — wrong mesh, weak corners, bad penetrations through the house. A few hundred dollars of consulting saves thousands in rework.
Can you create a custom plan for my yard?
Yes. We measure, model in CAD, and deliver a complete buildable plan with material list.
Do you provide material lists with prices?
Yes — itemized lists with local sourcing recommendations.
What if I get stuck mid-build?
We offer hourly remote troubleshooting and can dispatch a carpenter for urgent on-site help.
Will my DIY catio be as good as one you build?
With our plans and a careful builder, yes. We’ll be honest if your project is beyond a safe DIY scope.
