Angled Fence Brackets
Angled Fence Extension Brackets are used to raise the height of your EXISTING
fence to create an angled perimeter. Ensure your fence is a minimum height of
1.8m before installing brackets and netting.
This system works on the premise of a cat not wanting to climb upside down on
an unstable surface.
Note: For enclosures built close to a boundary or against a fence, always
discuss with your neighbor or check with your city council for any planning
approval requirements.
Installation of these brackets will be dependent on your type of fencing. They
can be attached to most types of fences including timber and colorbond fences.
For installation of these Fence Brackets, we recommend you work with at least
one another person to ensure they are installed safely and securely.
Part List
1x Angled Poles……………………….
1x Straight Poles……………………..
1x Eye Bolt Packs…………………..
In addition to your Fence Brackets and Cat Netting, you will also need the
following hardware for your installation:
-
Rope Edging
-
C-Clips and Pliers
-
Multi-Surface Eyelets
-
Wire Rope
-
Turnbuckles
-
Aluminium Crimps
-
Crimping Pliers
-
Cable Ties
-
Timber Fencing. You will require Galvanized Staples instead of Multi-Surface Eyelets
Position the straight post against the fence and secure it into place using
appropriate screws for your surface (Screws are not included).
We recommend fixing one Fence Bracket per existing fence post or installing
the Fence Brackets no more than 3m apart.
Once the Straight Pole is fixed to the fence, connect the Angled Pole to the
top of the Straight Pole to fully assemble each Fence Bracket.
Note:
- Be sure to align the pin lock on the Straight Pole with the hole on the curve of the Angled Pole, and make sure that the poles click securely in place.
- If the Straight Pole does not insert far enough into the end of the Angled Pole for the pin lock to connect, you may need to use some force to join the poles together. It is important that the pin lock engages and locks the 2 poles together.
On the end brackets in your installation, attach an eye bolt through the hole at the top of the Angled Pole and through the hole at the bend. The eye bolts will be used to end your run of wire rope at each side of your installation.
TIP
Using tensioned wire rope to build a frame like structure is the most common
way to attach cat netting to your fence, including metal and composite fencing
and for a
professional timber fence installation.
For timber fences, you can also use Galvanized U-Shape Stapes to secure the
netting to your fence. Calculate the number of Multi-Surface Eyelets you will
require to guide the wire rope along its path. We recommend one 50cm plus any
additional eyelets that may be needed to guide the wire around corners.
Note: You may need to replace the installation screws that come with your
Multi-Surface Eyelets to suit your installation surface.
Locate the holes at the top of the Angled Pole and the hole at the bend of the
Fence Bracket and feed stainless steel wire rope through the holes, running
parallel with the fence.
This wire will act as a support frame to keep the netting taught between each
post. There is also a pre-drilled hole for a third guide wire at the base of
the Fence Brackets to help keep the netting at the bottom taut and hard
against the fence.
At this stage, the wire should be LIGHTLY tensioned using a turnbuckle.
For each run of wire, one turnbuckle and two aluminum crimps will be required.
The turnbuckle will tension the wire and the crimps (or wire grips) will hold
the wire in position at each end.
Start from the top guide wire and line up the edge of your netting to the wire
rope and secure the net using net C-Clips.
TIP: for ease of installation and for a more professional finish, we
recommend edging the sides of the net with edging rope. This should also help
you clip the net to the wire rope. For the middle and bottom guide wire, weave
the edging rope through the net while the net is hanging and has been secured
to the top guide wire.
Use cable ties to secure the netting to the Fence Brackets especially the fence brackets installed in a corner.
SAFETY
- Ensure there are no tall trees, garden sheds or other objects close to the fence perimeter that your cat can climb and use to jump over the Angled Fence brackets and your cat enclosure installation.
- All netting must be installed as taut as practically possible.
- Once you have finished installing your Fence Brackets and cat enclosure, Catnets recommends monitoring your cat(s) in your yard for a period of time to assess their behavior and to ensure there are no objects they can climb, and no gaps in your installation they can escape from before you are comfortable before leaving them unattended.
IMPORTANT:
- Catnets netting has been designed for use by cats only and is not covered for damage resulting from dogs or other animals housed in OR outside of the enclosure.
