Extraordinary cat mansion

There have always been many stray cats hanging around my store. Since I have a soft spot for strays, I built for them a little mansion on a wooden pallet, designed after a monument in my city (Palazzo dei Consoli di Gubbio). It contains 13 separate units (single rooms) that are held together with magnets, which allows me to easily assemble and disassemble the construct.

As you can see, the mansion is already occupied!

Magnets for assembly

The waterproof rubberised magnets Ø 22 mm, which hold together the individual units on the inside, passed the test of winter and summer (snow, wind, storms, and sun at 38 degrees!).

I also used some small block magnets to be able to easily open and close the doors.

Below a few impressions of the assembly of the cat mansion.

Note from the supermagnete team: Animals are also dear to some of our other customers' hearts and they used magnets for their ideas as well:

Note from the supermagnete team:
For outdoor installations, take care not to use magnets that are too weak, as wind and other external factors can reduce the adhesive force of the magnets. Please also bear in mind that rust may form if magnets and accessories are used outdoors on a permanent basis. You should expect to replace the magnet after prolonged outdoor use. For more information on the outdoor use of magnets, please refer to our FAQ on Questions and answers regarding the outdoor use of magnets.
