One concern with these netted enclosures and tunnels would be to make absolutely sure your yard is securely fenced!! If a large aggressive dog got in the yard the cats would literally be sitting ducks.

Personally I wouldn't take the chance and go with a wood frame and heavy gauge wire enclosure...

I do love those big beautiful catios, wish I had building skills. My indoor kitties would be so happy.
Oh no, that's too bad, the little stinkers, lol. A lot of those big catios look pretty basic. But even "pretty basic" is considerably beyond my skill level. And I use the work "skill" very loosely.
