I was impressed with the quality of the hardware supplied - all heavy duty and it looks as if it will last a long time. I bought the 100 foot/30 metre kit with one extra spring-loaded arm.

My garden has hedges on all sides so the only option for me was to design a freestanding enclosure that left room for me to access the hedges for maintenance. Installation was a real challenge for me as the ground is very uneven and I had to design an irregular shape, as well as interface it with an existing catio. But once I got going it all started to make sense and I achieved a good result. A straight-sided enclosure with 90-degree corners would have been much easier to do, but would have resulted in a significantly smaller enclosure so I'm glad I put in the extra effort. The cats appreciate the unusual design, too.

The installation videos were helpful up to a point, but they only dealt with the relatively easy 90-degree corners and straight-sided designs. I would have preferred some guidance for trickier designs as it was really a case of trial-and-error for me. I didn't trim the netting or wire rolls as per the guidance, but managed to unroll the entire rolls in one piece, fixing them as I went. I was wary of making a mistake, so used garden plant ties to temporarily fix the netting in place to ensure that everything fitted well before fixing it permanently. I also bought the standard access gate but found that I needed to tie the hinge side to a tree stake to give it extra stability - probably due to the uneven ground and unusual shape of my enclosure.

I had a further complication that further delayed my installation and that was the discovery that the underground natural gas supply pipe did not run to the house along the expected course. I had to dig small exploration trenches to trace the route of the pipe as I didn't want to pierce this with the freestanding pole spikes, which are 2 feet/ 60cm long. Part of the pipe was buried just 30cm deep, whereas most was 60cm deep so it paid to be careful as any mishaps would have resulted in a very expensive bill from the gas network company for repairs. So do be careful if you are planning an enclosure anywhere near service pipes that run to your house.

All in all, I'm very pleased with the installation but it did take much longer than expected for the reasons described above.

A great system. Had it for a few years now, never an issue. Ordered new netting as the original was getting brittle (after 10 years) and new new was easy to install

Ours was a complex installation, but it turned out very well. Purrfect Fence is an excellent product which I highly recommend. Cats are by nature curious and now our garden is secure I can relax knowing our cat cannot stray onto roads.

Needed an extra arm to shore up the kitty defences and this works a treat

System works great, was easy enough to install, and arrived quickly

Please find enclosed photos of the finished job.
Very happy with the finished job and thanks to Matt for your very helpful construction tips!

After my previously free roaming 8 year old cat went missing for nearly 5 weeks, and then found in quite a poorly way, I wanted to find a way to keep him and his cat brother safe! Having researched and compared a few cat proof systems/companies, I decided to go with Purrfect Fence. Danielle was extremely helpful and responsive to the many questions I had before I purchased the system. Although their system can be installed as a DIY project, I wasn't confident in doing so and went with their recommended 3rd party installer, Fraser @ Suffolk Logistics. The ordering and installation was quick and easy and the overall price very competitive. I had a mix of the freestanding system in front of the neighbour's fence and along the width of our garden (we wanted to keep part of it separate from the cats) and the brackets and netting system on our own fence, on the other side of the garden. The morning after installation, one of the cats escaped within 3 hours of being in his new cat proofed garden by digging into the couple of inch gap between the ground and the bottom of the netting. This was by the freestanding system, which, as it turned out, needed an overlap on the ground to stop any determined cat being able to dig under the netting! This wasn't a fault in the system, as such but, for anyone going with any freestanding cat proof system, please purchase extra netting to ensure there's at least half a foot either side of the netting, pegged into the ground, to stop any cats digging their way out. Fraser was brilliant and arranged a swift re-visit to fix this. The second issue we've had is that we've had a neighbour's cat visit our garden a couple of times, getting trapped and being stressed until we could let him out. This has then led to one of our cats realising he could escape by the same way and climb through a very spikey bush, pull the cat netting down and easily walk over it and over the wooden fence to freedom. Luckily he came back over the fence the same way but I had to keep both cats in until a fix was agreed by Purrfect Fence and Fraser. Fraser came back and replaced the standard brackets with the extended brackets, thus increasing the overall height of the fence. I don't think the issue was the system, nor the installation, and not even the height of the bush, as the neighbour's cat started coming in before our cat decided to find his own way out. The issue was that the brackets we should have gone with were the extended ones that would have raised the overall height of the cat proof fence quite considerably, rather then the shorter brackets which made the netting come only just above the fence height. This wasn't suggested to us, even though Purrfect Fence had lots of photos and videos of our garden, ahead of us placing our order and they're the experts in ensuring cats are kept safe with their system, not the buyers. Probably an oversight on their part? If we'd have gone high in the first place, and had the overlap netting on the ground, where the freestanding system was installed, it would have saved the wonderful Fraser from returning twice. That would be my advice to anyone planning to cat proof their garden space - think of any escape routes carefully and go as high as you're able to and overlap any freestanding system that go to the ground. Overall, I'm so happy I had the cat proofing done by Purrfect Fence and even though they've been some teething issues, I'm finally confident my cats are now happy, healthy and most importantly, safe.

Excellent for protecting the inner posts from rain and therefore rust. This means the posts last much longer.

Only been two days but the cats are loving the freedom of exploring the garden and we know that they are safely contained.

Have no just moved there was no way I was going to risk losing my cats in a new area. Purrfect fencing came to the rescue from my initial enquiry right through to installation, helping me every step of the way with ideas, suggestions as well as installers, who also did a first class job on the one & only rainy day of the summer. All of this as well as the best quote around by miles! Thanks again Puurrfect Fencing.

From the moment I contacted Purr Fect fence to help me with the online measuring of my garden & a quote, I couldn’t have been happier. Purr Fect Fencing organised everything, including delivery as well as fitting. All done to my time requirements & the guys that fitted it were first class too - even though it was pouring with rain all day!! Highly recommend this company if you have cats that you love & want to keep safe. Thank you so much Purr Fect Fencing, couldn’t be happier.

No escapes in over 6 years - our cats are safe, but outside day and night enjoying the garden, which is enriched with cat trees, lots of shrubs and vegetation for hiding in and log piles. The fence was straightforward to install, and customer service was great. We have extended the fence over time and it is easy to order individual items from Purrfect. Highly recommended.

Brilliant gate so easy to install.

Great products and easy to fit. Makes the garden secure from unwanted guests and gives peace of mind knowing my cats can explore the outside safely

I have 2 cats and one of them is an escape artist. They both haven’t managed to get out despite trying to climb the fence multiple times. The customer service is absolutely fantastic, the person I spoke to via email mapped out the garden for me and where the brackets should be. I can’t recommend this highly enough!
