In this video I need to construct some kind of roof structure to stop cats escaping from the catio / cat enclosure. I also talk about some other options for preventing cats from escaping from the garden.

Mickie's already scoping out an escape route ;-)

@harindergill7221 Год назад

@robstone370 Год назад

Keith, an idea would be to get some cargo netting ( add some hooks ) to completely fill in the roof opening, that will prevent any outside cats getting inside, and is extra insurance to keep your little tiger safe inside. Great video buddy

@frankklein4872 Год назад

Good idea, give your kitty something to clamber up and hide

@user-te1le7ck6b Год назад

Plus birds

@PabloBD Год назад

I see you got 's lick of approval! I didn't know about this scarf joint, the geometry reminds me of some Japanese joinery I've seen online. looking forward to the catio additions!

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thanks Pablo! Yeah that joint is usually used to extend timbers on roof joists, so usually done on 6x2 or 8x2s. It's fiddly but glad I had a go!

@stewbrown7477 Год назад

nice build. i love how the cat immediately assessed an exit strategy, checking for weak points in the perimeter 😅

@pgtips4240 Год назад

I think Mickey has given his nod of approval! Great job!

@michaelwillson6847 Год назад

Licky Micky seems pretty happy to be out. Those brackets that u showed at the start were what a was trying to describe in the last video kieth although in a bad way description. We ended up buying metal bar and bending it but didn't work my lot ended up figuring out how to get out. One thing will say is keep eye on Micky first few times he's out pay attention to places he keeps going back to because if there is somewhere even smallest gap that is were he will get out but in round about way trying to tell u. Or again at least that's what my lot did. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@eggster71 Год назад

Someone is planning some one to one action with those flying things he's seen through the windows! Nice job.

@c.a.g.1977 Год назад

Smart solution, Keith! That scarf joint is pretty nice! Haven't had the need for one, but it looks very doable to me!

@__Timo__ Год назад

ConCATulations to the new home-extention, dear Mickey!

@judymerchant3220 Год назад

My cats would get out of that, so beware if he is a climber. The reason they use metal is that claws cant cling to it unlike wood. On top of that ive witnessed mine all spidercat-ing upside down to climb out of the metal ones. Even the metal armed ones that spring down they learnt to hold on to until it took them back to the fence, then to hook their paws over the top and climb out. Their ingenuity is he only reason we have a full mesh topper and sides. 1 inch Nylon knitted bird mesh is brilliant and if pulled taught they cant bite it. They still climb it, but it takes a knife to cut through it, and had not failed us.

@worstuserever Год назад

Warms my heart to see little Mickie discovering his new outside space. What a lovely generous gift for your newest family member! Looking forward to seeing how you enrich the environment for him. When you decided to double over the mesh I wondered if it might be better to lay two separate sheets over one another instead, offset vertically and horizontally so the grids quarter each other if that makes sense? More rigidity I think, and much finer gaps so no danger of squeezing through.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

that's a really good idea, wish I thought of that!

@andersodman296 Год назад

Looking great! He will love it. What you can do is to plant grass in a large planting pot/bucket so he has something to chew on.

@InTheWorkshop Год назад

ACE enclosure Keith 👍 I'm sure Mickie appreciates all your work on it.

@MikeAG333 Год назад

So much better if you under-squint it. It only needs a slight change of angle at the two short end-cuts. Also much easier if you have two hammers, for tapping the folding wedges at the same time.

@user-te1le7ck6b Год назад

Whilst Dylan will never be forgotten, mickie is just lovely bless what a wonderful way to re-experience being a cat owner , great build so far Keith 👍

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thank you. He is one of a kind!

@frederickwood9116 Год назад

Really appreciate seeing you solve some of those little problems. The scarf joint in particular was great to see. I’m really scratching my head as to why you have not covered in at least a section of the “roof”. Just tiny section at the door with a seat so someone can sit out and be dry with the cat in spite of the spitting rain we know so well.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Good idea!

@benjaqsonworkshop9974 Год назад

Ah, the things we do for cats! Great design and build with some proper joinery thrown in. Great place to spend time with Mickie outside.

@markwatters6875 Год назад

G’day mate. That area for the cat looks good. Now will be able to have a run and jump around in the sunshine and fresh air while mum & dad have a cup of tea. All the best to you and the family 👍🇦🇺

@cobberpete1 Год назад

Good Job on the joint. I'm sure Mickey will love it. He just needs some Furniture 😎

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Cheers Peter, coming right up!

@doctordoom1337 Год назад

It’s so interesting that the version of the saw that you have has a dust extraction port on it. The same model available in North America does not. The guard is completely solid. I can’t believe Milwaukee wouldn’t offer your superior model across the pond.

@simonlunt353 Год назад

The cat likes it so well done 🎉well done on the scarf joint take care see you next time 😊

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you! 😊

@paultay23 Год назад

Great job Keith, looks really good. Mickie seems to like it.

@Lord-Panda2112 Год назад

Nice tranquil music at the end. Lovely job Keith.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you! 👍

@AccountantDoesDIY Год назад

Unexpectedly satisfying seeing that scarf joint come together. I'm tempted to try one myself tomorrow, despite not being mid-project for any project that needs one!

@mandyleeson1 Год назад

I think that’s a thumbs up from Mickie and I can’t wait to see the next episode! 👏🏼for the scarf joint.🌟

@AndreaArzensek Год назад

Mickie approved the scarf joint.

@Quaker521 Год назад

Looks good and I reckon Mickey's going to enjoy the outside area too!

@bluecurlygirl Год назад

How did I miss this? Glad I found it now. Ah the catio is brilliant Keith. How's Mickey enjoying it now? I bet he's so delighted having access to the outdoors. Best money you ever spent. Thank you so much for sharing the journey and thanks for cost breakdown etc. We could achieve that expense. Hoping to have one built before summer so our two can finally get out there. Great job. Well done.

@TheWebstaff Год назад

Now if you just put some polycarbonate sheets up there and maybe some wall that will be a nice conservatory Keith.

@stigkrakpants3052 Год назад

Lovely job on the scarfs. I made scarf joists for my loft conversion on 4x2s. I watched Robin Clevett and left Skill Builder a comment, they replied ! No No Do Not Do That on a joist !!!! Well of course i did, but i was making flitch beam joists with 6mm steel plates. The scarfs were awkward to make, i used a plunge saw for the inner linear cut, but my male parts were bigger than yours !! so i needed a proper plunge cut ( i didn't make that first straight cut you did ). I made everything so tight that i still haven't bothered with wedges yet, but when installed in the floor i used screws as you did.

@joroyle8108 Год назад

Lovely old job for a cute cat 🐈‍⬛🐾

@AncoraImparoPiper 4 месяца назад

Great built. Catto loves it and is already looking for ways to climb up.

@niva8043 Год назад

Mickie is such a pretty boy 😻

@Brian18741 Год назад

Looks great, the scarf joint turned out excellent 👌👍

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thanks!

@EvanDunville Год назад

Cool scarf! It looks a bit like your building the velociraptor enclosure from the first Jurassic park!

@awantamta Год назад

The scarf joint is brilliant

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@anwolfs9804 Год назад

I used a 0,39 inch mesh wire, but it was for a chicken coop tbh. Still, liked the look and put in a full roof like you put on your shed. NIcely put together! I do think Mickey LOVES it! :D

@theswime945 Год назад

Nice one. Scarf joint! Who knew?? (well, you). I'm not sure if I enjoyed the woodwork or the purpose more, nor when I became so emotionally invested in YT cats... Good job mate. Cheers.

@liamcowley8679 Год назад

Thanks Keith. Not sure why I got so emotional seeing him outside.. great video. :)

@andyc972 Год назад

That's a neat solution Keith, and has the added advantage of not looking like Colditz, which it may have using the bought brackets ! Good to see you challenge yourself with the Scarf joint, good to try new stuff ! Looking forward to seeing some "fun" additions to the space in your feline theme park !

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@ianbrodiesmith4085 Год назад

i love the cat and scarf joint good work. Samuri carpenter was the first time i saw these. Cant wait to see whats next.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@danxepha4535 Год назад

You might have to cover the roof with something to stop other cats getting in. It will also allow you to give him some ways to climb up high without risking escape.

@paulprescott7913 Год назад

Hello Keith, yes we considered those protector pet brackets and came to the same conclusion you did. I found something simular from an agricultural merchant at a fraction of the cost. We look forward to the development of this catio.

@prezzeruk4054 Год назад

We had 2 cats poisoned some years ago. And with our garden being quite small, we bought a couple of second hand gazebos, used to frames to net the whole garden! Now they cant get off, but have the whole garden to run around in.

@ianvicedomini2648 Год назад

Brilliant bit of joinery going on there Keith as always mate. Mickys feeling at home already chap Haha bless him. Great video mate 👌👍🏼👍🏼

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@hansdegroot8549 Год назад

Very impressive carf-joint. That reallly turned out very well. At first sight this seems to be a clever solution for the roof construction. Only time will tell if it really is clever. (intruders, Mickie's Houdini-act)

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thank you!

@johnwkomdat Год назад

Nice work! I think you were right to pass on the cat-fence brackets-they would make the whole structure look like a prison.

@JohnColgan. Год назад

Add some guard towers & machine gun posts!! Cat was looking & thinking I'll never escape from that !!

@williammoore4101 Год назад

Great work. Love your channel, Keith. I'm sure Mickey loves it too.

@2Cambell Год назад

This is so timely for our family. My brother just moved to a new house and we are looking to do something like this for his cats. Thank you!!! 😻❤😻

@bazanderson8283 Год назад

what a wonderful thing to do for your cat, kudos 🙏❤

@nbmufc94 Год назад

Brilliant mate. Mickie looks delighted haha. Just the sound of birds etc will do wonders for him.

@BischBaschBosch Год назад

Great to see his little nose taking it all in when he was let out.😁 Tell you what mate, considering what you used to cut those scarfs, the fit looked pretty good! Lovely project mate. Look forward to seeing it kittied out😉👍

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thank you mate!

@deeeirl Год назад

Fine job! I'm taking notes 😀

@HerbyDigitalTV Год назад

Building this out of wood makes it look 1000X better than it would have done with those metal brackets.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@erichenao6537 Год назад

Very nice! Can't wait to see the finishing out!

@dan.w.hoover2556 Год назад

Mickie is so handsome! Nice catio!

@elchimpo9590 Год назад

Nice !! Maybe an outdoor chair or sofa for Mickie? Fire pit, gazebo swing chair?? 😂😂

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@Jhongerage Год назад

Great scarf joint!

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@marksmith7147 Год назад

Nice one. Enjoy it Mickey, it was built by the ❤

@TorBoy9 Год назад

Nice catio space. I'm wondering if you should not have painted the wood before gluing it. I see Mickie scoping out an escape route. I've never needed to do a scarf joint, but it looks like fun!

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

I'm not sure it matters too much with PU glue as it seems to stick to pretty much anything. Thanks for watching!

@garymucher4082 Год назад

Not sure about your cat, but there looks to be an easy escape route under some of the fencing. I know some cats would have not problems getting under there... Thumbs Up!

@cazee100 Год назад

Like the idea of an open roof but kitties are good at climbing and he will get over that if he wants to. Sorry Keith but you need to fill in. If a bird get on the top……Also Micky needs some toys out there. Enjoyed watching the build though. Great job but the roof needs to be all over. Stay safe x

@andybarker5552 Год назад

Plain fencing staples and a hammer how quaint.

@darylsmith8418 Год назад

If you ever need to use those knock-in staples again - they are way easier to hammer down straight if you bend the prongs in further so that they are parallel with each other (easier to pull out, but that may be a good or bad thing in future...)

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

great tip thanks

@darylsmith8418 Год назад

@@RagnBoneBrown Two more tips using these sodding things - I use a wooden clothes peg to hold them for the 'first strike' to get them started... And I use mole-grips to bend them parallel; set the distance between the jaws and go through the whole pack. Also, you probably know anyway - use a heavy lump on the opposite side of the timber (like a big lump-hammer!) Knock them in against that to take the force of the blows, rather than relying on the mass of the timber; so the force is not transferred to joints or post-anchors or whatever. (You can tell I have experience of the knock-in staples - I do not like working with them! HA!)

The screwfix wall ties work perfectly for the overhang fence top, bit late I know :)

@ianpearse4480 Год назад

Nice.

@Exodus_Johnson Год назад

Looks great. I built one for our cats in our previous house, that chicken wire is horrible stuff. I used the rolls of galvanised mesh that was about 10mm square, much more rigid and no give in it so was easy to nail to a frame. Definitely feels like you need an extra pair of hands for those U nails though 😂

@Jako-fh8zg Год назад

Great project - I love the analysis and improv you show us, every little job I do as a beginner needs some deviation from the plan - so glad it’s not just me. What are the plans for other cats jumping into the enclosure, as this would be like a red rag to a bull for most cats? Brilliant series of videos 👍👍👍

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thank you. There aren't many cats around where we live so I don't think it'll be an issue

@simonr6793 Год назад

Keith now mickey has his outdoor workout area built I was wondering if you had any plans to install outdoor music for his enjoyment? You never know he maybe a big fan of two hits that spring to mind. 1. Toni Basil one hit wonder..Hey Mickey !!! And of course . 2 Tom Jones ...What's New Pussycat !!!. P.s I really glad to see that you did a really good job with the play area for Mr Mickey and it didn't turn out a 🐈 astrophe. Such a Topcat he is.🤣😅👍

@nathanlucas6465 Год назад

If mickey likes catnip, plant some just outside the enclosure. He'll then be able to munch away at whatever grows through the mesh, without killing the plant

@MCsCreations Год назад

Brilliant work, Keith! 😃 And the best part, he seems to love it! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thank you!

@killazftw Год назад

Having the top of that still open would make me nervous with my cats 😬

@Badgerworkshop Год назад

I want to try that joint now

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Maybe one for each of your new workshop roof joists!

@mikedeman5351 Год назад

A kennel-like structure with a cat bed/cushion inside might be a good idea for cold or windy days - so that Micky can be 'out' without being 'out-out' . . . . to quote the other Micky (Micky Flanagan) . . . .

Nice build. The Mickey part could have been much longer

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Cheers. Mickie will feature in another video very soon!

@johnfithian-franks8276 Год назад

I do hope you are going to add some climbing shelves and areas so he can get around and enjoy his new found freedom.

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Yes indeed!

@ice4142 Год назад

That scarf joint was completely unnecessary but is good to try thing in case you actually need them in the future. Also make good content.

@pitsnipe5559 Год назад

Hi Keith just wanted to ask your opinion on something I do general diy and want to buy a Millwalkee drill which would you recommend m12 or m18 Can you also please do a video on your m12 tools thanks Matt

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Hi Matt, if it's for DIY use then M12 will do everything you need and more, providing all the tools you need are in the M12 range. I will try and do a video on it in future - thanks

@davewilliams6894 Год назад

Cats are the best, Question Keith, are you expecting him to jump out ? I don’t understand the roof canapé

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

Thanks Dave. Yeah, cats could potentially climb the walls, although to be honest Mickie isn't much of a climber so the roof may not have even been necessary!

@SeanBZA Год назад

Plant some cat grass ( basically oats) so he can munch on it, provides fibre and a chew that he will enjoy. Just need a largish low tray to germinate the seed in, not much soil, as he will only eat it while it is young.

@TheTimutube Год назад

Hi Keith what brand paint did you use and was it acrylic or what.kindest regards tim

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

hi Tim, yeah acrylic, it's no nonsense stuff in screwfix, cheap, covers well, and lasts reasonably well too!

@yossiyaari3760 Год назад

are the gaps under the wall small enough, that he can't get out?

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

yes, 50mm

@karenmitchell6814 Год назад

Keith I have a better, safer suggestion for your gutters. Here in the U.S. and Canada we have gutter guards under many brand names. I’m assuming they are available in the UK too. They are perforated covers for your gutters that let the water in and keep the leaves out. The better ones are coated (think Teflon) so the leaves just slide off. No more cleaning, no more climbing ladders. So less maintenance and much safer. They are worth every penny! Highly recommend! Last ones we bought we ordered right from Amazon. I meant to leave this comment on the first video. And installing these might make another good final patio/catio video. 😀

@RagnBoneBrown Год назад

thank you I wil check them out!
