To ensure your cat has unhindered access through the cat flap,
measure the height from their tummy to the floor. Mark this
height on your wall, as this is where the bottom of the hole
should be cut through the wall. Note: If there is a large drop on
the outside of the house you will need to place a step outside
for your pet to access the tunnel.
Mark a 170 x 170mm (6 11/ 1 6" x 6 11/ 1 6") square on the wall using the
mark you made to align the bottom edge. Now mark the centre
of the drawn area, this will be used as a reference point. Before
you start to cut the hole remove the cat flap from the area to
minimise the amount of dust the product is subjected to.
Using the appropriate power tool and drill bit for your wall
(please consult a builder to identify the appropriate tools), drill
a hole all the way through the wall at the centre point you marked.
We advise you have somebody assisting you with a vacuum
cleaner, so as not to fill the room with dust.
Now, from the outside of your house, use the drilled hole as a
reference to mark up the 170 x 170mm square. We advise that you
mark this square a few millimetres lower than the inside to
allow for any rain collected in the tunnel to run back outside.
Back on the inside of the house; whether you are cutting through
brick, wood, tiles or plaster, you should drill some pilot holes,
firstly around the perimeter of the line you have drawn and then in
the middle of the marked area. The holes around the perimeter
should go slightly over the line by no more than 2mm (1/ 1 6'')
and the holes in the centre should go all the way through the
wall to help with the cutting process.
Now remove all of the material in the centre using the most
suitable tools for the material you're cutting. We do not
recommend that you cut through to the outside in one go.
Cut away material on the inside of the house first and then move
outside to cut the remainder of the hole. Try to keep the hole
within the outlined area otherwise it will be too big.
