I'd like to set this up at a kitchen window. If I cut a hole in the netting the same size as the window, any idea how I could secure the opening?

Is there a cat door insert that will fit in the window? I had mine attached to a door with a cat door in it. I cut a hole in the netting to match the cat door. It attached between the plastic lip of the cat door and the regular door.

What I did was after i positioned it near the window. I propped the window open with a 12 inch tile, i secured the spare netting to the tile with a foam sealant and let it dry before cutting a hole next to it for my pet to use.

I would say you could most likely use zip ties. We used zip ties on some of the other areas for more stability.

I would use a T-connect that Kitty Walk makes that would fit flush against the window opening. Bear in mind the Kitty Walk has to sit on a firm surface, the bottom is also netting. Our cats love being outside in their Kitty Walk!

Hi Vinessa, I put my netting on the inside of the corner pieces and it was a little loose, but I'm looking at the factory picture and it looks like they put in on the outside. Maybe I put mine on wrong?!? No idea about the bar.

Yes. I used one of these to secure my daughter's window this summer when we had a fan in it. No one could open the window more, but they still might have been able to knock the fan out of the window to the inside and then if they were small of frame fit through the opening left where the fan was.

Looks like you've got some good answers! I don't have a very good set up to do that due to a kitchen planning flaw that doesn't allow the freezer door to open fully. *sigh*

Our coop is fenced it so we used a staple gun to secure the net to the posts and ziptied the rest of the areas to the fence. We had to cut or net because of the shape of our coop and then just zip tied the two halves together. We have a large coop with support beams running down the middle that the net lays over. We have never had any problems, get a lot of pine needles stuck in the netting, occasionally some sticks and pinecones and one time a big hawk got caught. Still no damage after a year and a half.

Like others have said, you would first need to cut a piece of plywood to the dimensions of the window opening. Then you would simply install the cat door into the plywood. Obviously the window would be unlocked which may or may not be a concern for you.

My window is metal also and not very wide. I figure as long as the top part of the window can fit between the brace its secure. I put a stick between the top of window sill and window so it can't open any further

There is a flange on the frame that goes around the inside of your opening. It has holes for you to secure it with screws.

The netting I bought is at school right now, but I'd estimate that the holes are about the size of a quarter. I used it on a bulletin board to mimic a soccer goal.

I can't even imagine cutting the glass and then securing it with screws. I'd have to refer you to a glass shop. This works fine on our 2-inch thick door. But glass? Sounds scary to me. Good luck.

Sorry I missed the fact that your using a window. This unit I believe can be used that way, but its more for a wall opening.

Yes, if you are 'handy' at all. Try one of these options. #1 Use 2 window panel kits which are slid & pegged together. The other option is try the EdgeStar APPK2010 door kit. #2 Go to a Plexiglas Shop and have them cut a 7" wide x height of your door frame panel for you. Several people have posted they had the shop cut the vent hole into the Plexiglas so they didn't have to mess with the kit. One even used an optically-styled piece of Plexiglas to make sure people noticed it (and they didn't walk into it). #3 Go to a home improvement store, which offers 2-3 free 'cuts', on a purchased plywood panel and have it cut to the size you need (the nice thing is the plywood can slip into the door tracks for 2 sided stability). On #2 & #3, I would make sure to cover the long open edge with paint/tape...etc., so some doesn't pick up splinters/cut themselves on it when using the door. Please remember you may need a new sliding door track lock/s. It needs to be very sturdy if you are going to be using the door for inside/outside access.

Hello,We are also looking at these blinds and was wondering about cutting to size, good to know it worked for you, do you think a fabric sealant would make it more secure? I need three blinds and 3 different sizes.M. Bell

the netting has 1" openings----it is quite flexible and can be used for many things (I tie it around tomatoe cages, pepper plants, cabbages, etc.). I further intend putting it over my dwarf fruit trees for protection. It is pretty study "stuff".

You can either wedge a piece of wood between the window and the top casing or put a screw so the window cannot go up. However, the later may be a fire code violation, depending on where you live.

I watched a youtube video about it and found it very helpful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zt20TOkBCXY I used a safety pin and placed the flat side of the paper flush with the netting so the chrysalis hung down facing the inside of the enclosure.

Of course you can get or make extra window kits. It's quite easy for me to think of many ways to temporarily cover and uncover a 5" hole. I would find it much easier to cover the hole rather than sit there watching bugs and stuff fly through it while saying "eww" or "eek" or something like that.
