The Cedar Skyline: Large Freestanding Backyard Catio on Deck with Tunnel Access

Give your cat a spacious outdoor retreat that feels like a natural extension of your home. The Cedar Skyline is a large freestanding catio thoughtfully built on an existing deck, designed to expand your cat’s world without disrupting the look and feel of your space. Its open layout and elevated connection create a seamless transition from indoors to outdoors, offering cats a safe place to explore, climb, and unwind just steps from home.

With a footprint of 12 feet wide, 6.5 feet deep, and 10 feet tall, this enclosure provides generous vertical and horizontal space while maintaining a clean, balanced presence alongside the house. Cedar was chosen for its natural resistance to weather, insects, and decay—making it an ideal material for long-term outdoor durability—while the walnut stain enhances its warmth and complements the home’s exterior. The roofline is carefully designed to match the existing pitch, helping the structure feel integrated rather than added on, and the black PVC-coated wire offers a strong, rust-resistant barrier that preserves clear sightlines and an open, airy feel.

Inside, every element is designed to support both movement and rest. Cats can navigate comfortably between levels using ramps and shelves, stretch and climb along the floor-to-ceiling scratching post, or retreat into cozy cedar cubbies for quiet downtime. The custom tunnel connection extends directly from the home, gradually increasing in height as it reaches the enclosure to create a more natural, engaging transition. Built with both function and comfort in mind, this catio delivers a secure, enriching environment that encourages exploration while keeping cats safely connected to home.
