Installation
Hicat® units come complete with an Install pack containing bits, fixings & tools so all you will need to install your floor-to-ceiling Hicat® is a stepladder, large crosshead screwdriver, pencil & drill - there are online assembly & install instructions for all of our products below
Before The Fun Starts
We give our units a clean before they leave us but after unpacking your Hicat® we recommend giving the unit a good vacuum inside & out to remove any loose fibres that may have been missed - the same applies to SixToo™, Catapilla™ & best to give Cat Wall™ panels a quick once over as well.
Two Pairs Of Hands Are Better Than One
Manoeuvring larger & heavier Tomcat & Fatcat units into place can be tricky if you're on your own so we would recommend getting some help when installing these units - freestanding pieces can also weigh up to 70kg so again another pair of hands is a good move to help you assemble your Hicat®.
What’s Included
All of our units come with the necessary bits & fixings to install or assemble them - please visit the individual product pages for information on the specific tools & equipment required to carry out the install or assembly.
Bobcat, Scraaatch™, SixToo™ need to have ballast added to stop them from toppling or moving - please visit the individual product pages for more information noting that kiln dried paving sand is best & this can be purchased from your local DIY store, builders merchant or garden centre for around £6-8 for a 20kg bag.
There is also the option of purchasing a Wall Fixing Kit to install your SixToo™ & Catapilla™ instead of a using ballast or a Base - follow the instructions for the Wall Mounted Fatcat install for this option.
