DIY-FRIENDLY
1-2 people, 3-5 hours, just a power drill. No tradesperson required.
The Essential Kit is everything you need to get started. The "J" Brackets are not included. Great for cat owners who already have a way to mount the netting at height or for shorter fences and tight runs where the curved overhang isn't required.
(For example, creating a barrier between a roof and a fence.)
What's in the box:
- 4m × 10m nylon-coated steel fibre netting (claw-proof, weather-proof, UV-stable)
- 30m of weather-proof rope for tensioning and gap closure
- 30 wall plugs and stainless screws for fixing to brick, render, or hardwood
- 30 high-strength UV pull ties
If you need some "J" Brackets to create the curved overhang that stops cats vaulting you can add a bundle of 2 ($35) or 3 ($50) at checkout, or upgrade to the Standard Kit.
We recommend having these brackets installed every 2 to 3 metres.
The Installation Process:
Most installs can be completed in 3–5 hours with a second pair of hands and a power drill. Watch the install or grab the downloadable guide for further assistance.
We created the overhang system because our cat, Sadie, kept escaping. Now she's given up trying to get out.
Backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 2-year materials warranty.
Pending on how many brackets you've ordered, you'll receive those and some wood screws to fix them to a wooden fence or wall.
Free shipping on orders over $250. Below that, a flat rate applies, calculated at checkout based on your address. We ship from Melbourne via Australia Post within 1 business day of your order. Most metro orders arrive in 2-4 business days; regional and remote takes a bit longer. You'll get tracking the moment your kit's on its way.
30-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work for your yard, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. You pay return shipping, we cover everything else. No forms, no interrogation, just email us. 2-year materials warranty. If your netting or J-brackets tear, rust, or break down from normal weather use within 2 years, we replace them free. This is void if you cut or damage the net or the brackets.
These are steel brackets coated in a weather-proof oxide that is perfectly harmless, but protects the steel from the elements so it won't rust.

DIY INSTALL
Install In An Afternoon.
1. Plan your perimeter. Walk your fence line and mark the gaps, the climbable spots, and where the netting needs to curve at the top. Each kit covers 10 metres.
2. Mount the brackets. Drill the "J" Brackets into your fence at 2 -3m intervals. They angle inward to create the curved overhang that stops cats vaulting over.
3. Hang the netting slightly loose. Not taut. Netting pulled tight gives a cat a foothold to climb - a little slack makes it almost impossible to grip.
4. Close the gaps. Use the supplied pull-ties to secure loose edges and any spots a determined cat could squeeze through. Then let them out and watch.

Common Questions.
Most Australian yards work with the Standard Kit, it gives you the netting plus 3 "J" Brackets to start your overhang. If you've got a longer fence run, complex corners, or want more bracket coverage at 2 - 3m spacing, the Complete Kit gives you 6 brackets. The Essential Kit is for owners who already have a way to mount netting at height, for example, between a roof and a fence, or for shorter custom installs.
The kit installs on timber paling, brick, render, or hardwood. The "J" Brackets attach to your fence or wall. The netting tensions over the top. If your fence is unusually short, very tall, or has gaps wider than 100mm at the base, use the pull-ties to secure the net further.

WHO ARE WE?
Hey. We're Alyce And Shaun
We're a Melbourne couple who got tired of watching Sadie plot, and successfully execute, her escape over our back fence. Nothing on the market worked, so we built our own - and kept improving on it until she couldn't get out anymore.
Every kit is packed by us in Melbourne. When you email or call, you get one of us not a call centre. Unsure on what you need? Just ask.
