        Thanks for the links. We were gifted/handed down a patio set but with no cushions. I’ve been debating on if it’s more efficient to but cushions or a new set.

    The plan is to build a “catio” from the basement egress window beneath the couch which will go to the side of the couch. I also plan on building a coffee table over the next couple of weeks. Would love to be able to enjoy a dinner out there.

    Anyone have any tips for painting wood? Since it was just construction grade lumber, I went with an outdoor paint vs a stain. But I noticed in the direct sun some small areas have slight bubbling. Did I just not do a good enough job preparing the surface? I want to get it right before building the coffee table. Thanks!

      Thank you! That is an egress window for a basement window. It’s honestly ugly in there. Just looks like metal from a farm silo. Thats why we want to convert it into a catio entrance. At least the kitties can enjoy it.
