This enclosure makes a fantastic catio, giving my furry friend some fresh air. Setting it up solo was a breeze, though an extra set of hands was helpful for the mesh part. It's sturdy and secure, providing peace of mind. My cat loves lounging and birdwatching in his new outdoor space. It's a great addition to any cat or dog lover's home.

Wish I brought this earlier! I bought some chicken netting from bunnings and cable tied it on to the sides and the whole top. My girls love it

Frame is easy to put together. Chain link has definetly tested our marriage. This would be my only gripe with it.

We are extremely impressed with this dog cage, but funnily enough we have bought it to use as a catio.
We are in the process of moving and wanted something safe and secure for "Her Magisty", the cat while she is settling in ti her new environment.
The construction of said dog/cat cage is extremely impressive and it was relatively easy to put together.
I would definitely recommend anyone wanting to purchase one of these cages to do so.
Thank you

Took a good 4 hours to set up and did need to file down the sides of the poles because they had a raised edge causing the poles not to fit. Easy yet time consuming
A safe, open-air space your dog can truly enjoy. Built from 32 mm galvanized steel and 3.0 mm coated wire mesh, this outdoor run is designed to keep active dogs secure while giving them freedom to move, rest, and watch the world go by. A reinforced steel gate, weatherproof roof, and close mesh spacing work together to prevent escapes.
Unlike standard enclosures that bend or rust over time, every component is treated to resist corrosion and wear. The 420D Oxford fabric roof offers shade and rain protection, while the flexible chain-link mesh absorbs impact without transferring stress to the frame.
Important: This dog run is designed for supervised outdoor activity and is not an escape-proof kennel. Highly active dogs, dogs unfamiliar with outdoor enclosures, or dogs prone to separation anxiety, chewing, digging, or pushing against barriers may damage the mesh or attempt to escape. Gradual acclimation and supervision are recommended.
Features:
Durable Frame – 32 mm steel tubing with 1 mm wall thickness, hot-dip galvanized for long-term rust protection.
Strong Mesh – 3.0 mm galvanized wire with 60×60 mm spacing prevents dogs from squeezing through while maintaining visibility.
Weather-Ready Roof – 420D Oxford fabric with UV inhibitors blocks sun, sheds rain, and resists fading.
Impact Absorption – Flexible mesh reduces injury risk if your dog jumps or runs against it.
Guided DIY Assembly – Connect the steel tube frame using the supplied fittings, then unfold, tension and secure the chain-link mesh with metal ties. Two-person assembly is recommended.
NOTE*: For maximum security, before installation, fully unfold the mesh and lay it flat. Ensure it is straight and free of twists before securing it to the metal frame.
Previous Dog Run — Earlier Version For earlier non-modular Dog Run models. If your product does not match the modular frame shown above, please use this guide. View Previous Assembly Guide
Ensure the top edge of the mesh is positioned slightly below the top frame. Avoid leaving sharp wire ends protruding upward where they may contact the roof cover.
If any wire ends extend above the frame, use pliers to bend them downward before installing the cover.
For additional protection, you may wrap any exposed wire ends with tape, rubber tubing, or other protective material to help prevent unnecessary wear to the cover over time.

The enclosure has a 196 × 196cm footprint, providing approximately 3.84m² of enclosed space, with a 230cm peak height. The right size depends on your dog’s breed, activity level and time spent inside.
Larger or highly active dogs may benefit from one of the longer Aegis models.
Yes. One grey 420D Oxford roof cover is included. Its waterproof coating and UV inhibitors help provide shade and protection from rain, while the open sides maintain airflow.
Yes. It is designed for DIY assembly, although two people are recommended, especially when tensioning and securing the chain-link mesh. Assembly time varies depending on the enclosure size and installation experience.
Before installation, fully unfold the mesh and lay it flat.

Properly preparing the mesh helps make installation smoother and creates a safer, more secure enclosure.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.6 / 5 from 24 reviews.
We bought this cage for our 12 week old puppy a Belgian Malinois, as his training space when both my wife and I needed some space. The installation was quite straight forward, the instruction sheet diagrams were clear. The only difficult part was the mesh. Installing this required utmost patience and careful alignment. It’s definitely a 2 person job, one to hold the other to tie the end to the frames. We actually ordered extra brace steel to firm the structure, to the point it does not buckle now. We bought another tarp so we could cover the whole structure. Happy to say our dog likes it, only thing for us to do it to make him comfy when we are not around. Our BM breed has been known to scale walls so we might cover up both side of the roof currently exposed. All in all pleased with the product.
The perfect solution for leaving our puppy while we are at work. The frame is easy to erect but the mesh is an absolute nightmare. Took 2 people the best part of a day to fully construct it. We bought cable ties as the ones provided were flimsy and not enough. We also bought pool noodles to go over the wire at the top edge so it doesn’t rip the roof covers. However, we are very happy with the finished product and puppy is safe and happy.
We got this for our 11 weeks old puppy who needs space whilst we are away for short time. The initial assembly required a bit of planning. Installing the frames was the easy part, the instructions were clear and easy to follow. The only qualms I have are those screws and nuts do not appear to be stainless steel so they could in short time corrode in rust. I shall replace these with more suitable weather retardant metals. The drape over the top I fixed plumbing sponge over the cross bar where the fence pointy bits exposed. I used metal cable tie supplied at the bottom and UV rated industrial strength ties on top. I reckon it be a while before my BM could scale the fence to gnaw the top. Yes I have a purebred maligator and it will undoubtedly put the cage to a test.
All in all very happy with the outcome.
Easy to setup. Just takes some time which I did expect.
Would liked to have been able to extend the run and make it wider. This was an oversight by me.
Still very happy run is a good size for our dog.

Bought this to use as a Catio and it works really well my kitten loves it however if you are buying for a kitten the holes in the fencing might be a bit too large so best to wait till they are a bit bigger. You will also need to add your own netting to the top of using for Catio. Very happy with purchase!!

Took a good 4 hours to set up and did need to file down the sides of the poles because they had a raised edge causing the poles not to fit. Easy yet time consuming
solid run, perfect for our doberman X to spend a few hours in when one of us isnt home. re. set up, it's straight forward but time consuming - i would allow at least 3 hours.
The dog run is good however putting it together was quite a mission.
The kit was almost all there except for a missing C8 (additional one couriered to us thanks) and one elastic cover tie down (ball rope H), that did not have its plastic knob.
The most difficult part was the netting. the twisted together ends (top and bottom) continually unwound and the netting constantly unraveled so the the top was not straight and had to be manipulated back into place.
There were insufficient metal ties (J) to secure the netting adequately to the frame. An additional packet (total of three) is needed - I had to purchase additional ties.
The Rain cover (G) does not fit this run ad depicted. While it goes over one of the three sections of the frame, it is a lot longer than just the roof sections and folds about 500mm down a wall. This is not a problem but for the fact that the netting is to wide (top to bottom) for the frame and the sharp ends protrude over the top and bottom frame pieces. This risks the rain cover being torn when moved by wind against the netting top.
Easy to put up until we tried putting on the mesh which we found didn't fit. Especially on the door, really short changed on that, had to put ties on to extend to stop our dogs getting through.
