Service-yard cat mesh

Practical protection for a hardworking part of the home.

A service yard needs ventilation and usable space, but its windows and openings may also be reachable by a cat. PurrSafe considers daily laundry use, access and opening condition before recommending a suitable approach.

Daily routines considered

Laundry, ventilation and regular opening form part of the practical review.

Cat access considered

Nearby surfaces and climbing routes can make an opening easier to reach.

Custom measurement

The actual opening is measured before final specification.

Often overlooked

Service yards can be highly accessible to cats.

Appliances, shelves and laundry fixtures may create routes toward a window or gap. Because the area is used frequently, it is also important to consider how long openings remain open and whether access is supervised.

  • Window and ventilation openings
  • Routes created by appliances, shelves or fixtures
  • Regular open-window duration
  • Existing mesh condition and edge gaps

Fit for use

Protection should respect the way the space works.

PurrSafe reviews the opening and household routine before confirming a system. The aim is a custom-measured installation that supports practical daily use while addressing cat access.

Questions homeowners ask

Helpful answers before you begin.

Why include the service yard in a home safety review?

Service yards can contain open windows, ventilation gaps and climbing routes created by appliances or fixtures, making them relevant when a cat can enter the area.

Can service-yard use be considered during planning?

Yes. Ventilation, laundry routines, access and how the opening operates should be discussed during the on-site assessment.

Is the system made to a standard size?

PurrSafe custom measures each suitable opening on-site rather than assuming a standard fit.
