Perfect Cat enclosure
Delivery was excellent , with recyclable boxes. Hubby and son built it over two days ,having read and reread the plans it all fell into place. It's very sturdy (despite gales ) The stable door really helps keep our cat Tassimo in whilst we put stuff in and out. She's a Brown Burmese and is safest as an indoor cat and so this enclosure is perfect for her especially now that i have some structures inside that she can climb up on and watch over the garden wall. I bought a metal rose arbour which we put up inside the enclosure and it just fits ; it has bars that I've been able to put planks accoss and with the addition of a step ladder has given Tassi lots to clamber about on and a lovely bench for me to sit on too. I spent months researching what would work best and rather than spend two and a half thousand on having a fence built enclosing the end of the garden , this has been a brilliant alternative. We've been using this for about a month now and Tassi is happy to be left in it whilst we potter about the garden.

A great addition to the garden
We are using this for one of our cats who has poor sight and hearing. Once erected this enclosure looks very attractive and is quite spacious. The benefit of this as opposed to the more common wooden ones is that it allows you to see right through to the garden beyond and the green colour fits in well with the surroundings. Also, it is sturdy enough so there should be no chance of a cat escaping.
It did take my partner about five hours to put it together and you do need another pair of hands with one or two parts like the roof supports. I have to agree with other reviewers that the instructions were poor and it would have been so much more helpful and taken us less time if proper photos of various stages and/or some written guidance had been given rather than the sketchy drawings which were not always easy to follow.
I do think it is over priced and whilst I realise this is the chicken house renamed as a cat house, if its going to be described as a cat run enclosure, it would be nice if it could be modified to have the addition of one or two complementary green shelves which cats like to sit on to keep the overall attractive look.
Having said that, I am still very pleased with the end result.

Excellent
This Walk in Cat Pen is perfect if you have an indoor cat. It is large and airy, not like the usual wood and wire cat pens that are usually on sale. My half Ragdoll cat loves his pen, it means he can be in the garden with us and watch all the wildlife and most importantly, be safe. This cat pen is made from very strong material and is very pleasant to look at. We purchased an inexpensive plastic shelving unit to put inside which he loves to jump up on and sit and sunbathe on. We also have put down some hesian rugs on the floor, this saves him getting dirty on the grass underneath and also he loves to sharpen his claws on it too. The pen is so nice and airy that I even sometimes take a cup of tea outside with me and sit with him inside the pen and just watch the world go by which he loves. This pen has really enriched my cat's life - from just watching the birds and wildlife through the window, he can now experience it all for himself while being completely safe and secure. Thank you Omlet for producing such a great product.
