Catio Flooring
Hi, Hope you don't mind me joining, I live in Spain and I noticed the catio on your front page. Like you have built I need my catio to be raised off the ground, could I ask what type of floor you have used Thanks Sue
Hi Susan and great question We use treated lumber commonly used for outdoor decks and sealed with a Low VOC waterproofing stain. We use 4x4 posts to elevate the platform to the appropriate height. Most times we can attach the platform back to the structure or deck for stability and and if the ground is somewhat level we just sit them on post blocks or pavers if not they are postholed and cemented in place. The one in the picture the Catio is set on pavers and very short 4x4 posts set on pavers and the frame is anchored back to the homes cement foundation. The observation tower is posted and cemented in place
@Susan Stockley your welcome
Up coming Catio project
We are currently in progress on an interesting project. This Catio will be a 4’x12’x8’ height catio with the door on the center of the 12’ side on an existing deck. Exiting from the left side will be a transit tunnel running along the home 10’ to the corner and turning 90* and going 4’ ending into 67”x 36”x 24” depth mini window Catio Going to be interesting

This little deck Catio is one of the first to not have an exit door. Just the door going into the house. The only reason we allowed it to be constructed without a door exiting the Catio is their is a second door just to the left of the Catio that allows for an emergency escape exit for the home and one located within the Catio into the home EDIT: the last 4 pictures are just 5 hours after completion
