Cats naturally enjoy being high up, taking in their surroundings in a safe space away from children and other pets. A strong cat tree will also provide your cat with exercise and scratching opportunities, especially beneficial to indoor cats spending time in their catio.

The core of the outdoor cat climbing tree is good to use in all weather conditions, and can be kept on your cat run all year round, including the poles and all plastic components. All cushions, the hammock and the den are weather resistant and can be used outdoors, but to protect them and make the cat tree as comfortable as possible for your pets, these should be positioned under cover on your catio.

Yes, you can add on vertical poles and all other accessories at any point you decide to extend or adapt your tree system.

With all Outdoor Freestyle Cat Tree poles you will receive two types of connectors. If you have a run with a completely flat roof, you should use the straight connector that is packed with the pole itself. If you're fastening the pole to a angled ceiling or to a meshed run, like the Omlet Catio, you should use the separately packed Outdoor Cat Run Roof Connector Kit instead.

Yes, if the poles are assembled securely this strong cat tree will be able to withstand all types of jumping and playing from cats of all ages and sizes. All parts have been tested with weights of at least 30kg, so you can be confident that big cats like Maine Coons, as well as multi-cat households, will be able to enjoy it. This makes it the perfect outdoor cat tree for large cats.

For kittens or less agile cats you can put in more steps or move accessories closer to the ground.

If you want extra stability for peace of mind, you can purchase extra wall braces to fasten the poles to the wall. We recommend getting a professional to assist you with the cat tree installation.

Yes, you can purchase spare parts and accessories.

The core of the waterproof cat tree is made from strong and durable materials, like aluminium and polypropylene.

We have noticed the blue in the outdoor cushions is showing some tendency to fade especially when out continuously in the NZ sunshine.  Cream is standing up well to our strong New Zealand UV rays.

The poles and platforms of the outdoor cat perch are easy to wipe clean with a pet safe disinfectant and soft cloth. Wash woven fabrics in a gentle machine wash at 40 degrees with mild detergent. Do not tumble dry, iron or use bleach.

The system is not stable enough to be free standing, so it must be secured to the roof of your catio using the provided fixings, as well as the ground using pegs. You can also further secure the system with wall braces.

 All vertical poles come with a connector kit to fit the pole to a mesh roof, like that of the Omlet Outdoor Cat Run. The way you attach your Cat Tree to a DIY run depends on the materials, please consult a professional for help on how to safely install the tree.

 Your Freestyle Cat Tree comes with a comprehensive instruction manual that takes you through the assembly process, and there are also step-by-step how to build videos here.

Make sure the whole cat tree is secured and fully assembled and that all screws are tightened before letting your pets use the cat climbing tree outdoors. Regularly check the system to make sure everything is fastened securely, and only use accessories specifically designed and intended for the cat tree.

The Freestyle Cat Tree is designed to be used by pets. Don’t lean against, climb or hang on the cat tree. Don’t rest heavy objects on any parts of the tree. The cat tree is not a toy. Don’t leave children unsupervised when in contact with the product.

Sisal is an agave plant which yields a stiff fibre used to make rope and twine. Sisal rope is commonly used for cat scratchers due to its strength and durability, and cats like sharpening their claws against the fibres. Additionally, it is biodegradable and can be recycled.

The sisal rope kit is a cost effective and adjustable solution that is simply wrapped around one of the poles, whereas the thicker scratching post is a more robust version for fierce scratchers who take their nail maintenance seriously. Both of these are attached to poles. The sisal wraps goes on bridges or ramps, great for horizontal stretching.

You can soon find all available parts and accessories here, and you can see dimensions and product names in the product manual.

Yes, that is possible. However, one of the purposes of the support pole is to slightly push the roof up to make sure rain doesn’t gather at the top of the run and put too much pressure on the roof.

For runs without covers this isn’t a problem. If you have covers on the roof of your run and want to swap the support poles for a Freestyle pole, place the pole as close to where you had the support pole as possible, and make sure water runs off the cover as it should once assembled.

 If you live somewhere likely to get heavy snow fall and have covers on your run, we suggest keeping the cat run support poles.
