Step 1: Preparation and Planning for the DIY Cat Enclosure
Before you think about assembly, start by determining the desired location for your cats' outdoor enclosure. Then, take the exact measurements for the width, height, and depth. Write down the measurements on a piece of paper. For a better idea, you can also draw a sketch for the desired enclosure for your pet. The measurements are necessary for further planning and for the later determination of the exact aluminum profile lengths and connector versions.
Step 2: ALUSTECK® for Enclosure Construction – the Plug-in System Principle
The modular ALUSTECK® principle for enclosure construction is as simple as it is ingenious. Assembling the cat enclosure construction is very simple by inserting and then tapping the corner connector elements with a plastic hammer into the aluminum profile openings. The basic construction of the outdoor run for your cats can theoretically be assembled without the use of tools.
At ALUSTECK®, you order the material for your project like a kit, directly configured to your desired dimensions:
Step 3: The materials for the DIY animal enclosure
For this enclosure construction, you will need the following products from our online shop: Aluminum profiles 25 x 25 mm without web, 25 x 25 mm right-angle connectors with 1 outlet including steel core and additionally versions with thread, 4 adjustable feet with leveling plate and metal screws. As well as external accessories that you will not find in our online shop. These include cable ties, netting or chicken wire, angles and wall plugs for a possible fixation to the house wall. You can find these products in numerous online shops on the internet or in a hardware store of your choice.
Step 4: Building the Enclosure Assembly Building Instructions
Once you have ordered all products in our online shop, the easy part and the joy of building it yourself follows. For this, lay out the individual construction elements on a blanket on the floor so that all parts are in their rightful place. Then start to connect all assemblies of the cat enclosure step by step until the basic frame is assembled. Afterwards, stretch the net over the outer surfaces and secure it with cable ties, so that no gaps can form.

For attaching the construction to the house wall, we recommend fixing it with screws and metal brackets so that the cat enclosure for your cats stands firmly and securely anchored. Our tip: if you prefer this solution attached to the patio wall, it makes sense to install an exit in the form of a door. However, you must take this into account when planning and constructing the outdoor run. In our online shop, you will also find suitable products such as T-connectors, right-angle connectors, turnbuckle latches as fasteners, and hinges for the 25 mm plug-in system to build a door.

FAQ: Building a cat enclosure – a safe space for your cat
To build a cat enclosure with ALUSTECK® you mainly need the ALUSTECK® aluminium profiles together with matching plug connectors and adjustable feet. The system makes it possible to design the frame of the enclosure in a stable and flexible way. For the fencing you can additionally buy wire mesh or wire netting at the hardware store to securely close off the enclosure. All the required ALUSTECK® components are available in the online shop and can be configured as needed.
First plan the cat enclosure based on the available space by measuring the location and taking the dimensions into account. Then determine how much space your cat needs to move around safely and comfortably. Precise planning helps you order the right materials and organise the construction process efficiently. Also consider height and width specifications if the enclosure includes several storeys or levels.
A cat enclosure with ALUSTECK® is assembled simply by inserting the aluminium profiles into the plug connectors. These are tapped in with a plastic mallet to create a stable connection. This simple process ensures that assembly is quick and uncomplicated. The aluminium frame provides stability while you attach the wire mesh for the fencing.
Yes, the ALUSTECK® system is modular and can be adapted at any time. If you later want to create additional space for your cat or rebuild the enclosure, you can easily add new modules or reconfigure existing parts. This flexibility lets you adapt the enclosure to new needs over time, whether by extending it or adjusting the design.
Yes, on the ALUSTECK® website you will find a detailed step-by-step building guide for constructing a cat enclosure. This guide provides clear and easy-to-understand steps, from planning through to final assembly. It contains helpful tips and tricks for efficient construction and addresses specific challenges, such as fixing the enclosure to walls or creating a stable base.
The construction time depends on the size and complexity of the enclosure. A simple, small enclosure can be built in a few hours, while larger structures with several modules take a little more time. Thanks to the modular ALUSTECK® system, however, assembly can be carried out quickly and efficiently, without elaborate preparation or special tools.
