Where did you get the materials to construct that?

The enclosure was a dog enclosure that we found at Menards. Had to special order the tunnel with the right gear to hold in place from some specialized place that does these sorts of things. I don’t remember the name but you can probably do a search for it. That was the most expensive part of the whole thing, and it took a few weeks to get here. It’s pretty much just 12” drain tile pipe. With our window we just used some extra wood for the sides with the cat door. It looks along the lines of an air conditioner unit with the accordion side pieces. This is what it looks like from the inside of our sunroom. We have a bench that is about the right height for them to use as a launch pad.

Oh, and the plastic lattice was from Menards too.

Found the website. I think we used (4) components from here. The freedom window door, the tube, the tube to door connector, and the tube to cage connector. Roughly $250, as I recall. The enclosure itself was less than $250 back then, and we bought our own wire cutters plus the plastic lattice. Maybe with everything it was closer to $600. Still worth all the peace of mind we get from it. The cats use it every day, except for when it gets to the single digits and below. They love when it snows, and especially if we have a thunderstorm with heavy rain. They really enjoy being out there but protected. They have a great view of all the birds and critters. We don’t keep their food outside so as to not attract the wildlife up to the deck. We have enough visitors as it is.
