Cat Tree
Very basic
My wife was tired of the dog chasing the cat and this was a good and cheap solution. Overall wood and other material's cost 60 dollars great compared to 2 to 3 hundred at the pet store.
What you will need
1/2 sheet of plywood
2 2x4x8
2 inch wood screws
6 90 degree shelving brackets
3 yards of carpet
How to do this project
1
Cut plywood into 3 matching sized squared for your platform. Use your left over pieces for the shelving
2
Next cut your 2x4 down to desired height i went with 4 feet. I did this process twice. I double up the 2x4 for extra support.
3
Next screw your base together using 2 inch screws. I used left over pieces of wood for the feet on the base.
4
Assemby the top box with quarter inch trim and screw together.
5
Screw the 2x4 into the base using angle brackets to help support the weight. Add on the the top box when finished.
6
Assembly the 2nd shelf by using plywood scraps and short pieces of 2x4. Mine were 22 and 18 inches.
7
Get your knife ready and trim carpet to fit over the areas.
8
When finished grab the cat and see if they like it i had to lure mine in with catnip spray.
