How it works

How Safe Whiskers stops escape artists

The difference is the full 60cm horizontal overhang.A steeply angled fence topper can still leave a determined cat climbing upwards towards its edge. Safe Whiskers puts a full horizontal barrier above that climbing route, turning your existing garden fence into a secure cat-proof boundary.

  1. 1

    They climb the fence

    Your cat heads up your existing fence, looking for a way over.

  2. 2

    Their momentum is stopped

    Our cat fence barrier forms a horizontal mesh ceiling above them, bringing their upward climb to a halt.

  3. 3

    The edge is too far to grab

    The outer edge sits a full 60cm into your garden, so they cannot reach up, grab it and pull themselves over.

Real customer proof

This is the second cat-proof fencing I’ve bought, as my cat is quite the escapologist. However, this fencing has successfully kept her in the garden.

Neither cat has been able to get out, which has put our minds at rest to leave them in the garden without having to watch them.

I was worried it would stand out, but you hardly notice it once it’s up. The garden still feels open, just safer.

Cat fencing for UK gardens

A safer garden, without the planning headache.

You shouldn’t have to solve one problem by creating another.

  • Usually no planning permission.

    Most rear garden fences away from roads can be up to 2m without planning permission.

  • Stays within the height limit.

    Safe Whiskers keeps the overall height below 2m on a typical 6ft fence.

  • Height alone isn’t enough.

    Cats can jump 1.5–1.8m and climb fences, so security means blocking their route over the top, not simply making the fence taller.

If you’d like more detail, see our UK cat fence planning guide β†’

Different rules can apply to road-facing boundaries or properties with special planning restrictions.

Questions curious cat people ask

Cat Fence FAQs for UK gardens

ChoosingHow do I know which kit length to order?

Measure every boundary section that needs coverage, add the lengths together, then choose the next kit size above your total. Allow a little extra for corners and awkward joins.

ChoosingWhat if my garden falls between two kit sizes?

Choose the larger kit. Spare mesh is useful around corners and uneven areas, and any unopened spare parts can be kept for future fence repairs or changes.

InstallationCan I install it if I am not very handy?

The system uses common tools and a repeatable bracket-and-mesh process. Allow an afternoon for a smaller garden. One person can fit it, although a second pair of hands makes measuring and tensioning easier.

InstallationDoes it work with concrete posts and gates?

The supplied fixings cover common timber and concrete-post installations. Gates and unusual joins need careful planning so the protected boundary stays continuous.

PropertyWill the mesh make my garden look enclosed?

The dark mesh is designed to disappear against foliage and fence shadows. Customer feedback consistently mentions that the finished system is much less noticeable than expected.

PropertyCan I use it in a rented property?

The brackets can be removed and fixing holes repaired, but you should ask the property owner before drilling and check any tenancy or boundary restrictions.

PropertyCould another cat get into the garden?

A continuous inward overhang can discourage visiting cats, but every garden and cat is different. Avoid leaving climbable objects near either side of the boundary and check the garden regularly.

GuaranteeWhat does the 90-day promise cover?

If Safe Whiskers is correctly installed and your cat still escapes within 90 days, you're protected by our No-Escape Guarantee. Full conditions apply.
