Adventure is in the nature of every cat. Cats love to hunt, to perch, to jump, and above all (pun definitely intended), to climb. While it would be almost criminal to try to stop a feline from exploring, it’s important to keep your housecats protected from the elements and other wildlife alike. But how can you do that when even tall fences seem little more than a momentary diversion for your little leaper?
Enter the Pet Playgrounds No Climb Cat Fence. With our flexible mesh fencing, even the most athletic kitty finds itself unable to scale the barrier. With extenders pointing both directions, the no climb fence works both ways, keeping your pets in and keeping other animals out (making them ideal, incidentally, for shelters and veterinary clinics with yards).
Need help? Our Cat Fence Kit Builder, below, has you covered.
Our no climb fence kit makes protecting your animals easy as can be. Just pick a height, figure out the footage of the barrier you need, and add on gates and reinforced posts to fit your needs.

Cat Fence Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Pet Playgrounds fence?
The Pet Playgrounds no-climb cat fence has numerous special features that separate it from the competition:
Anti-Climb Feature: Our cat fences feature a unique mesh-based system perfectly designed to stop climbing. With older fence styles, an agile feline can just use the links as a ladder. With our patent-protected design, when a cat tries to scale the fence, it simply flexes and turns them back towards safety. No muss, no fuss, no harm.
This special no climb fencing can be installed in both directions for the most protection. No-climb post extenders are installed facing out and help keep your cats safe and other animals on the outside. This is important for pet rescues, allowing hundreds of cats to be kept separated safely.
Our no climb fence design also works with dogs, especially for customers wanting protection from coyotes. We may call them cat fences, but they are a true all-around pet protector.
Anti-Dig Feature: With cats and dogs both, the possibility that they will dig under the fence and get out is always present. We protect you from kitty jailbreaks with our dig guard, a strong steel mesh layer that is secured into the ground via stakes. This easily handles changes in elevation and creates a secure seam along the ground, further cat-proofing your fence.
Anti-Chew Feature: Our polypropylene fence mesh includes patent-pending EPA-approved spicy additives to deter animals from chewing it, keeping the mesh protected and intact. It’s available as an add-on to all of our cat fence kits.
Providing your cat with a secure outdoor space gives them the space to play freely, giving them the physical and mental stimulation they need. And with all our safety features, our no-climb cat fence lets you rest easy knowing your animal companions are living their best lives.
How do cats get out of my yard anyway?
In order to keep your cat put, you need to grasp how they are getting out. Here are the most common ways your kitty will try and make a break for it:
Climbing: Cats are good climbers, and chain link fences pose little challenge.
Squeezing through gaps: Cats can get through surprisingly small gaps in barriers. As a general rule, if they can get their heads through it, they can pass it.
Jumping: Housecats have been known to leap as high as eight feet from a standing start.
Opening gates: Some cats are observant enough to figure out simple latches and closing mechanisms. If your cat is one of them, you’ll need to take precautions.
Once you know how the problem is happening, you’ll be able to pick out the right Pet Playgrounds parts to put a swift stop to it.
How on Earth can you stop my cat from climbing?
For starters, the flexible design of our cat fence with extenders shifts under climbers, turning them around in a hurry. Moreover, our durable materials and sturdy construction prevent animals from chewing through. It all adds up to the most cat-proof fence on the market.
How on Earth can you stop my cat from digging?
The protection offered by a Pet Playgrounds cat fence doesn’t end where the dirt begins. Instead, it goes into the ground about six inches. Our fence’s dig guards are a 19-gauge steel mesh, strong enough to take a lot of punishment, and secured with ground stakes. Take a look at this video to learn more, since words alone can't accurately describe how it works.
But I love my little fur baby. Why are they trying to leave?
Cats try to leave for many reasons, and it’s unlikely yours is doing so out of hostility or unhappiness. They just like to roam sometimes. By observing your friend’s behavior closely during escape attempts, you can find out more about what is going on.
Loneliness: People think of cats as solitary, but they have social needs too. Left alone outdoors for too long, they may escape to find companionship. Make sure they’re getting plenty of indoor time and affection.
Boredom: High-energy cats need more exercise and stimulation, especially when they are young. If they feel constrained in the yard, they might try to find their way elsewhere.
Environmental attraction: Everyone knows cats are curious. It’s so well-known that it’s a cliche. If your cat smells something interesting outside, like another animal, they may want to go visit and see what’s happening.
Inadequate enclosure: Determined cats may not be stopped by an invisible fence. A tall and stout physical cat fence is the best way to prevent them from wandering.
By studying why your pet is getting out, you can not only choose the most effective way to keep them safe (hint: it starts with our no-climb fence), but you can also come to understand their needs better. It’s a win-win.
Can I still mow my lawn with the dig guard installed?
Of course! In just a short time, the dig guard on our cat-proof fence will almost disappear into the grass and, like the greatest Zen masters, become one with the soil. This almost magical effect will allow you to mow right over the top of it and right up next to the fence. Watch this video to learn more.
Are these those invisible cat fences I’ve been reading about?
No! Pet Playgrounds sells physical fences, not electric. Where most invisible fences use electricity to keep your cat within their boundaries, our physical no-climb fence stops other animals, including predators like coyotes and foxes, from getting at your pets. With Pet Playgrounds, you get protection from all kinds of hazards, not just escapes.
