Cat Litter Box Enclosure with Two Shelves
Cat Litter Box Enclosure with Two Shelves
Hides the tray, keeps the shelves.
A cabinet the litter tray disappears into, with two shelves and two baskets doing ordinary work on top.
From the outside it is a 1270 mm unit in pale natural board: a closed cabinet at the bottom, then a black steel frame carrying two open shelves and two fabric baskets. Photo frames, a lamp, a pile of magazines, the dry food container. The top is rated to 60 kg, so anything you would happily put on a hall table belongs there, and nobody walking past reads it as pet furniture.
The cabinet below is where the tray lives. There is a 200 × 239 mm arched entry on one side, ventilation holes through the board, a scratching board inside and a hook for the scoop. The door has a magnetic catch and opens wide, so cleaning out means lifting the tray straight forward rather than reaching around a hood.

Questions
Will my litter tray fit?
The cabinet measures 599 × 500 mm on the outside and 500 mm high, and it is built from 12 mm board, so allow roughly 24 mm off the width and depth for the panels. Most standard open and hooded trays go in. Measure yours first if it is an extra-large or a top-entry model.
Does it come flat packed?
Yes. The panels are pre-drilled and the fixings and manual are in the carton. Build the cabinet first, stand it upright, then fit the steel frame and the two shelves. One person can manage it, though a second pair of hands helps at the frame stage.
How heavy is it?
16.6 kg assembled, in 12 mm MDF with a steel shelf frame. The awkward part is the height rather than the weight: at 1270 mm it is easier to build in the room it is going to live in than to carry it through a doorway afterwards.
Is there more than one way in?
There is a single arched entry, 200 × 239 mm, plus the door itself. Cats vary on this. If yours is cautious, prop the door open for the first week so there are two clear exits, then close it once they are using the cabinet without hesitating.
How do I clean it?
Open the door, lift the tray straight out and sweep or vacuum the base. The surface is smooth and waterproof, so a damp cloth and a mild detergent handle the rest. Keep standing water off the cut edges of the board, which is where MDF swells if it is going to.
