Cat Flap & Dog Flap Installation in Hull
Nearly half of Hull's homes are terraced, more than double the English average, and many streets have a back lane, known locally as a tenfoot. That makes the back yard door the usual place for a cat or dog flap.

Terraces and tenfoots
Many Hull terraces have a rear yard opening onto a tenfoot. A cat flap in the back door lets your cat into the yard, which is usually enclosed. If the yard gate opens onto the tenfoot, think about whether you want your cat or dog to have access to the lane.
Garden Village and the Avenues
Garden Village and the Avenues are conservation areas. If your home is in one, or is listed, check with Hull City Council before altering original front doors. Rear doors are usually less of a concern.

Questions from homeowners in Hull
Should the flap go in the house door or the yard gate?
Usually the back door of the house, so your pet comes into the enclosed yard. A flap in a yard gate gives direct access to the tenfoot, which may not be what you want.
I rent from the council. Can I have a cat flap?
With your landlord's permission. Ask them before booking.
