How big will it be .
Just one guy, so he can get some fresh air. Four screened walls, one against the house. Egress through a window-mounted cat door. On Long Island.@Moily, WELCOME!
Is it to keep cats in, predators out or both?
Also, where are you?
Generally sounds okay, but knowing more about your location will help.
How many kitties? I have six . . . .

Keep in mind, you want it big enough for people to get in there, and, er, clean up the [bleep] once in a while. :vs_cool:10 x 12 FEET? Are there plans for open floor plan kitchen/dining room?
Occasionally I will build feral cat houses, insulated with 2" xps and double walls, roof and floor, Two offset means of egress. Pretty, no. Functional, you bet
For ONE cat??you want it big enough for people to get in there
That might very well be worth it rather than the hassle of unrolling and flattening that much chicken wire and dealing with wood rot. Check Wayfare and Amzn too because they have some purpose-built catios in that price range.I actually just spotted a 10 × 10 dog run on sale for $239 at the local Tractor Supply Company, and I'm giving it serious thought. Just not sure how I'd rig up platforms/shelves for kitty to jump up on since it's chain link.
