A bridge changes how a cat moves between parts of a design. Treat it as a route with a beginning and an end, rather than simply an attractive connecting detail. These five questions make a bespoke conversation more precise.
What is the usable walking width?
Ask for the clear surface available between any raised edges, supports or decorative features. Record the proposed span too. The widest external measurement may include parts the cat cannot stand on.
What happens at each end?
Show the landing areas and any change in height or direction. A connection should be assessed with the adjacent platforms, not in isolation. Explain whether a cat would need to turn immediately after crossing or pass another resting area.
How is the connection supported?
Request the intended support and installation arrangement for the complete design. Do not assume two separately purchased pieces can be joined safely with a plank or a decorative rope bridge. Any relevant limits should be confirmed for the proposed construction.
What sits underneath, and how is it cleaned?
Mark furniture, doorways and other routes below the proposed bridge. Ask how the surface and fixings can be inspected and cleaned. Keep these practical questions attached to the same drawing so they are not lost when the visual design changes.
Which reference best explains the idea?
The Terrace Collection includes connected areas in its reference layout. Use it to identify the relationship you like, then agree the final dimensions, materials and included details in the personal quote.
Bring a labelled route sketch to the Giant Paws bespoke collection before deciding which connecting features belong in your design.
