This reinforced mesh screen fits across balcony railings, window openings and stair gaps, giving indoor cats fresh air and a view without the fall risk that keeps most owners from opening the door at all. It comes in four sizes, cuts down to fit an awkward opening, and arrives with the fixings and instructions for a solid-wall installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets your cat use the balcony instead of watching it through glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour sizes, and the netting can be cut down to fit a non-standard opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlso stops shoes, clothing and small items dropping to the street below\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps birds from flying in through an open balcony door\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixings and instructions are included — no separate shopping trip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReinforced mesh construction\u003c\/strong\u003e designed to resist chewing and clawing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCuttable\u003c\/strong\u003e — trim to suit an irregular balcony, window or stair opening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFour sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 × 2 m, 2 × 5 m, 3 × 3 m and 3 × 5 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual purpose\u003c\/strong\u003e — pet fall protection and a drop guard for laundry and small objects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixings and instructions included\u003c\/strong\u003e for solid-wall balcony installation; other mounting methods are possible depending on your balcony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes available:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 × 2 m (6.6 × 6.6 ft), 2 × 5 m (6.6 × 16.4 ft), 3 × 3 m (9.8 × 9.8 ft), 3 × 5 m (9.8 × 16.4 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e see Important Information below — the manufacturer's own paperwork is inconsistent on this point and we would rather tell you than pick one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e cats, kittens and small dogs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as:\u003c\/strong\u003e a set — netting plus fixings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × safety netting panel in your chosen size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixings for solid-wall installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation instructions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTwo things the manufacturer publishes that do not agree, and we are passing both on.\u003c\/strong\u003e The product description states the netting is a stainless-steel reinforced mesh. The specification sheet for the same item records the material simply as \u003cem\u003ePlastic\u003c\/em\u003e. We have queried it. Until we have an answer, please buy on the basis that this is a polymer netting that may or may not carry a wire core — and do not assume a metal reinforcement is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo mesh aperture size is published.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer does not state how large the individual squares are. That matters most for very young kittens, who can pass through gaps an adult cat cannot. If you have a kitten, measure the netting on arrival before relying on it, and supervise until you are satisfied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat this is not.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a deterrent barrier, not a structural fall-arrest system, and it is not a certified safety product. It has no published load rating. It should never be treated as a substitute for a sound balcony railing, and it is not rated to hold the weight of a person or a large dog. Install it as an additional layer of protection over an already-safe railing, check the fixings periodically, and supervise your cat until you know how they treat it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e The included fixings are intended for solid walls. If your balcony is glass, cable-railed or rendered over insulation, source appropriate fixings for that surface rather than forcing the ones supplied.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich size should I order?\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure the full height and width of the opening you need to cover and choose the next size up — the netting cuts down easily, but it cannot be made bigger.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I cut it to shape?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes. The netting is designed to be trimmed to fit. Cut a little generously so you have material to fix through at the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it stop a determined cat?\u003c\/strong\u003e The mesh is described as bite-resistant, but no netting is chew-proof forever. Check it regularly, especially along the bottom edge where a cat will test it first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for a kitten?\u003c\/strong\u003e Possibly, but the aperture size is not published, so we cannot promise it. Measure the mesh yourself before leaving a kitten unsupervised near it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use it on a window rather than a balcony?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — the same netting works across window openings and stair gaps, provided you can fix securely into the surrounding surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it survive outdoors year-round?\u003c\/strong\u003e No weather or UV rating is published for this netting. Expect it to be an outdoor-serviceable plastic mesh, and inspect it each season rather than assuming indefinite life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zippygiz","offers":[{"title":"2 × 5 m (6.6 × 16.4 ft)","offer_id":52923498004792,"sku":"1005009216865103-Wire Reinforced-2mx5m","price":93.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 × 2 m (6.6 × 6.6 ft)","offer_id":52923498037560,"sku":"1005009216865103-Wire Reinforced-2mx2m","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 × 5 m (9.8 × 16.4 ft)","offer_id":52923498070328,"sku":"1005009216865103-Wire Reinforced-3mx5m","price":131.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 × 3 m (9.8 × 9.8 ft)","offer_id":52923498103096,"sku":"1005009216865103-Wire Reinforced-3mx3m","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/9816\/2744\/files\/S0a2d4ab427714f29b45dab6c96554cc5H.webp?v=1788880315","url":"https:\/\/zippygiz.com\/products\/cat-balcony-safety-net-cuttable-anti-fall-mesh","provider":"Zippygiz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
