THE CATIO HAUS DIFFERENCE

Enrichment without the compromise

Every cat deserves safe, stimulating outdoor enrichment—in a space shared with their family, not isolated in a wire cage. Catio Haus was born from a simple belief: your cat's health, happiness, and instinctual curiosity shouldn't require compromising the architectural beauty of your home. Delivering contractor-grade Alumawood®, panoramic flex-vinyl clarity, and permanent equity at a fraction of contractor build costs.

Typical catio

  • Pressure-treated wood that rots, warps, and splinters
  • Stapled wire mesh that sags and rusts
  • Small crawl hatch — the owner stays outside
  • Repainting and sealing every two to three seasons
  • Temporary fixture that can detract from curb appeal and resale

Catio Haus

  • Alumawood® frame backed by a 20-year warranty
  • 4-track shatterproof vinyl with claw-tested Tuffscreen®
  • Full 80" walk-in door and 9' ceiling for you both
  • Zero maintenance — never rots, rusts, or needs repainting
  • Permanent, permit-ready addition that adds usable square footage and equity

THOUGHTFUL DESIGN

Quality you can trust. Design they can enjoy.

Shatterproof glazing

Impact vinyl flexes and springs back — it won't shatter from claws, play, hail, or debris.

Every climate

Proven from sub-zero snow country to desert heat, with UV-treated vinyl that won't yellow.

20 / 10 / 2 warranty

20 years on frame and roof, 10 on the vinyl and window frames, 2 on moving parts and screening.

Permit-ready

Structural engineering documents for your city's snow, wind, and seismic requirements, included.

Built for feline instincts, engineered for their safety

  • Shatterproof FlexiGlaze vinyl absorbs impact during high-speed play without cracking
  • The Alumawood® frame allows for you to bolt customized shelving directly to the frame
  • Generous walk-in footprint easily accommodates your cat's favorite scratchers, beds, and litter pans

Fully Variable Ventilation

4-track systemSix positionsUV-treated vinyl
  • 4-Track FlexiGlaze® vinyl system — four stacking panels per window sliding smoothly on concealed vertical tracks
  • Panels nest in front of one another, so a stack stays the height of a single panel
  • Six positions — fully closed, half, or a quarter open at the top or bottom
  • Shatterproof, UV-treated impact vinyl that flexes instead of breaking
  • Tuffscreen® heavy-gauge pet and no-see-um screen protection behind every panel

THE PROCESS

Four worry-free steps

01

Choose your Catio Haus

Pick one of the three models and your Alumawood® color, then reserve your build. Sizes and components are already worked out, so there is nothing to spec or design. Every Catio Haus is fabricated to order — no payment is due until your site details and freight are reviewed and confirmed with you.

02

Delivered to your door

Everything arrives pre-cut, labeled, and packed by step — frame, roof, vinyl, screening, door and brushed nickel hardware, anchors, and your structural engineering packet for permit or HOA approval.

03

Build it in a weekend

Two people and ordinary hand tools, no contractor. Your interactive 3D guide lets you rotate any joint, slow it down, pause, and loop each step until it clicks.

04

We're here if you get stuck

Message our team any time during your build with questions or photos and we'll help guide you through. Built-in 1/8" adjustment channels at every window mean a slightly uneven slab or house wall won't hold up your progress.
