Compact-space planning

Small Catio Plans for Patios, Windows, and Rentals

Review practical planning paths for patios, supported windows, and other compact spaces.

Start with the space you can use

Measure the available width, depth and height, then check access, exterior clearance, attachment restrictions and any required emergency egress.

Choose a suitable starting point

Use a self-supported option where attachment is not available, or review the Window Catio guide for a supported opening. Rental and shared-property projects may require written permission before any attachment or exterior change.
