Outdoor cat enclosure recommendations?

[BoaztheAdventureCat]

I'm looking for an outdoor cat enclosure, preferably for under $200. I'm looking for one that's metal but rust-proof, one that's not likely to collapse, and one that I can fold up for transporting to various locations, such as campgrounds. Are there any such outdoor cat enclosures in existence? What are your recommendations? Thanks for the help!

TCS has several helpful Articles/threads about building a catio or outdoor enclosure. I hope one of these will be helpful for you:

I'm not sure about a fold up one for transporting to different locations or campgrounds but other members may have some suggestions.

How big are you wanting it to be?

It's hard to say, but probably about the size of a large dog run.

Collapsable might be a problem, but, are you looking for something tall enough that you can walk into as well? If not, you could buy a large xpen and attach a top for it.

Not metal but would be great for camping!

These would be great if I didn't have to worry about my cat tearing through the fabric (he's tried it before). Thank you, though!

Ah yes, I learned that lesson with Lila!

There are a ton of styles like this, but my concern would be securing the top so a climbing cat couldn't sneak out. If I went with something like this, I would add 1-2 holes between each with extra zip ties.
