Give your cats the veterinarian recommended, highest quality of life with safe, outdoor access and see why our customers LOVE Purrfect Fence (See Testimonials)
The Conversion System for Shorter Fences will allow you to add up to 3' overall to the height of your existing fence... Now you can use Purrfect Fence to Cat-Proof your fence or wall even if it is only 3' high!
The Conversion System for Shorter Fences will convert your shorter fence into a escape-proof fence for cats. The kits includes Cat-Proofer spring-loaded arms, extender for each arm, the associated mounting brackets and a 6' tall roll of fence based on the size of kit you choose.
Keep in mind that every fence is different and there are no universally followed guidelines for post spacing, height, materials used,etc. A 50ft kit is designed for the average 50 linear feet of fence. 100 ft kit is designed for an average 100 linear feet of fence. A 200 ft kit is designed for the average 200 linear feet of fence. If you have gates, turns, short or long spans between posts then you may find that you need more or less components than comes with the kit. If in doubt, contact us first!
The extension tubes are made of thick 14 gauge steel (an arm set as high as possible on an extension tube can hold well over 50lbs). The scrunched end of the extension tube slides inside of the leg of the Conversion System Arms. The included high-strength epoxy bonds the pieces together. Once glued up, the extended arms slide into two mounting plates spaced a minimum of 3" apart secured to your fence posts with the top mounting plate set as high as possible on your post. Slide the arm to be at the desired height, tighten a set screw on each plate and your arm is secured to your post. Repeat this for all your posts and the fence material is ready to install.
Please note: If the fence is chain link, decorative aluminum or other metal picket fence you will need U-Bolts to secure the mounting bracket to the posts. You can use only one U-Bolt per bracket with this system so purchase one set of U-Bolts per post.

* Fasteners for holding hardware to building/home are not included. Fasteners should be chosen based on the type of material covering the building/wall/fence (wood screw, masonry screw, etc.)
-As the table above shows, a 50-foot kit comes with 50 feet of fencing material, not 60 feet. A 150-foot kit comes with 150 feet of fencing material. It is advised that you consider ordering approximately 10% or more than you need to allow for cut pieces and minor errors in installation.
-The above table applies to orders placed after 12/26/19.
Items of note when planning your order/layout:
-Each existing fence is unique! The maximum span between arms is 12-14 feet. 8-10 Feet is preferred. Count and measure the distance between your posts to ensure that your chosen kit will cover your fence layout.
- Keep in mind that our Existing Fence Conversion System for Shorter Fences will provide up to 36" inches of additional height from wherever the upper mounting bracket is secured. So, if the bracket is mounted at the top of a 4FT fence, then the finished Purrfect Fence height can be as tall as 7FT. This is adjustable and can be set at any height you prefer between 12" and 36" above where the uppermost mounting bracket is secured.
- Our patented system works by forcing your cat(s) to climb up the fence which activates the spring-loaded arm from the bottom if they are able to reach the top (most are not.) So, for maximum effectiveness, it is important that the finished height of your Purrfect Fence be tall enough so your cat cannot simply leap over it. For most domestic cats the minimum finished height (measured from the ground to the tip of the Purrfect Fence extension) we recommend is 6FT, though we prefer it to be taller when possible. Even so, we have had customers tell us it was effective for their cat(s) at shorter heights. However, higher is always better and may be necessary if your particular cat or cat breed is capable of leaping higher than the average healthy and athletic (domestic shorthair) cat.

FAQ
Gates need to be considered separately for your layout plan. Each gate in your existing fence is likely to need additional components depending on the location and operation.

Outward Swinging Gate
Many outward swinging gates require 2-3 extra arm/bracket(s) per gate. Your situation may vary. If you have any questions please contact us.
What Customers Say
Yes! When properly installed, Purrfect Fence has an industry-best 99.9% effectiveness rate, and has helped over 100,000 cats safely enjoy the outdoors.
We can help you outfit any size yard. Our planning engineers can recommend the best setup based on your yard's size, your cat's needs, and your budget. Use our free Fence Planner Tool to trace your yard, browse our sample layouts, or fill out a design form for a custom plan and estimate. As a guide, a 100-foot kit makes roughly a 24' x 24' enclosure (576 sq ft), and most customers use the back of their house as one side to enclose even more space.
Each kit includes everything sized to your selected length. If your layout has multiple turns or specific side lengths, you may need extra posts. Every end, corner/turn, and change in grade needs a post, and posts should be no more than 14' apart. You can always add more components or posts as needed. We advise ordering about 10% more fencing material than you think you need, to allow for cut pieces and minor installation errors.
Yes. Add any gate to your order and get $69 off your Freestanding System automatically at checkout. Many enclosures need at least one gate for access, and many customers often add a second wider gate for their mowers or if other equipment needs its own entrance.
All kits ship free within the continental US. Most orders ship within 1-3 business days and arrive within 5-7 business days depending on your location.
Our systems are designed for DIY installation with basic tools you probably already own. Most homeowners complete their install in a weekend. If you'd prefer professional help, we have a nationwide network of installer partners. The free-standing system requires a power drill, wire snips, and a sledgehammer. Each kit comes with detailed written instructions and helpful videos, and our expert staff are available to guide you if anything is confusing or unexpected!
If your cat escapes through a properly installed Purrfect Fence system, we'll work with you to solve the issue at no additional cost. We've maintained a 99.9%+ success rate across nearly 100,000 cats.
Purrfect Fence systems are built to last. Many customers report 15+ years of use. All parts and materials come with a 3-year warranty, and every component is individually replaceable if needed.
The posts, arms, and metal components are galvanized or stainless steel, with black components powder-coated for added outdoor durability. The welded-wire chew/dig guard and the polypropylene mesh are both UV-stabilized to resist damage from sunlight. The mesh has a breaking strength of around 600 lbs.
We've even tested our materials against competitors by submerging them in saltwater brine for weeks, and we stand behind Purrfect Fence as the strongest, most durable cat containment fence available.
The secret is our patented Cat-Proofer™ extender arms: if a cat climbs to the top, the arms pivot downward under their weight, and the sensation causes cats to naturally let go and drop safely back to the ground. Our patented design has seen 19 improvements over the past 20 years.
The secret is in the patented Cat-Proofer™ extender arms, which enable the entire upper section of the fence to pivot. If a cat climbs to the top of the fence, the extender arms pivot downward under their weight. The sensation causes cats to naturally let go of the fence, dropping safely back to the ground.
All of the materials and components used with our Freestanding Fence system were selected for a specific purpose: to work together and create a long-lasting fence barrier.
The posts, arms, and metal components are made with galvanized or stainless steel. Black metal components are powder-coated for durability outdoors. The bottom portion uses galvanized welded wire as a chew guard and dig guard, keeping cats from digging or chewing their way out and keeping unwanted critters from getting in.
The upper portion is durable polypropylene mesh — heavy-duty but flexible, with a breaking strength around 600 lbs and proven difficult for cats to climb. Like the welded wire coating, our poly mesh is UV-stabilized for longevity outdoors.
Purrfect Fence is designed to easily secure a perimeter of cat-proof fencing. It can be configured to different sizes to make your system as spacious as you'd like. You can also use freestanding cat fence segments together with cat-proofed areas of an existing fence.
