Catio Mesh Sagging or Torn — Fresno, California

The wire or mesh screen on your cat enclosure is sagging under the cats' weight, tearing at fastener points, or pulling away from the frame — creating gaps large enough for an escape. This usually happens when the original mesh gauge was too light, staples were spaced too far apart, or the frame lacks intermediate supports to prevent flex. A carpenter who builds catios can re-tension or upgrade the mesh, reinforce attachment points with proper hardware, and add mid-span bracing so the enclosure stays secure as your cats climb and lean against it.
