The Box-Kat is designed for outdoor use, but wind can be a factor. To keep the unit securely in place, we recommend using an anchoring system such as gallon water bottles, sandbags, or cinder blocks. Simply place them on the inside half of the support braces. If you’re parked on soil, garden stakes are an excellent alternative.

Proper ground preparation is also essential for optimal performance. Ensure the soil is as level as possible, and trim any weeds or grass in the area. A flatter surface will improve stability and enhance the effectiveness of your Box-Kat setup.

Remove a 12-inch strip of grass around your parking area and replace it with 1/4-inch galvanized metal mesh.

This mesh should extend about 12 inches beyond the outer walls of your Box-Kat to deter rodents from tunneling underneath. You can cover the mesh with a thin layer (about 1/4 inch) of gravel to help it blend in with your surroundings and make entry and exit easier.
