Indoor cats

I’ve always believed cats are best allowed out though mine were always called in at bed time. Now I have two middle aged rescues who have never been outside. I have accepted that they are better off like this, safe from traffic and attacks and diseases from other cats. I’ve had two young cats killed on my quite quiet road.
I plan to get a “catio” an outside run attached to the house so they can go out when they want to but still stay safe.
In many countries cats are kept indoors but most British cats can roam free. Has anyone here got experience of indoor cats and any advice, please?
