Savannah Super Cat
Part 1.
My wife and I got tired of chasing the cats around the yard when they broke free from the house or when on their collars. They really love the fresh air and the begging was ridiculous. So we went to the local Petsmart. We were about to get this really big dog cage and had even loaded it onto a cart, when my eyes found this.
And also this, which was very important .
This is a 10 foot (3 meters) by 10 foot aluminum chain link fence, with a hinged door and latch, and the optional sunshading cover.
Tools required were: hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, and tape measure. I added 1/2 inch (or 13mm) deep socket ratchet or power driver, and a bunch of good quality 3/16 inch nylon zip ties (a lifesaver!).
Begin by reading the instructions (first!) then laying out the base on level ground. and then position the uprights. Then lay out the uprights and top rail.
Then attach the uprights, with the bolt head below and the nut on top.
Snug up the clamp so that you can rotate the side pole to the upright position and they stay upright.
Don't forget the door frame (22 & 1/4 inch opening) and spacing the intermediate (middle) vertical poles. These do not need to be exact, ball park works fine. Don't put the door on just yet. Walk your way around the square by assembling the top bars like the bottom frame and tighten snug, as you will need some finer adjustments when this set is complete to square up the basic frame. When square, tighten up the frame. (Hang on Part 2 is following!)
