Use some sort of nice looking wooden plate on the underside to cover up the cloth edges. Wrap a soft cloth around the platform and fasten it on the underside by a industrial stapler. For example, use a car heat insulation sheet with aluminum foil. Cut out a soft sheet for the cat to rest on. By using triangular profile wooden pieces, create a safety edge.

Suggestion: Length = 600 mm and width = 300 mm, that should be enough for a full grown cat laying down. enough clearance for a climbing cat, and not to far away for him to reach. A distance of 150 mm between the platform and climbing post seems perfect. Start out with a simple prototype made of cardboard. Most cats likes to relax at a high position, so I decided to make a high mounted platform to complete the cat playground area. When the whole pipe is wrapped, tighten the rope with the U-bolt at the top, cut the rope (give it 2 extra meters for some re-wrapping in the future). It will twist, turn, tangle and be a complete mess if not handled correctly.
Wrapping long lengths of rope is much more difficult than it sounds. When you need a break, secure the rope with packaging tape. A pair of gloves and someone to help you guiding the rope is necessary. Pull the rope hard when wrapping, and after some turns hammer the turns together. Press the plug and start wrapping the rope from the floor plug unit and up. Mount the nuts on the U-bolt and tighten the rope. Put a knot at the rope, inside the tube, close to the plug. Position the U-bolt to allow one turn of the rope without any gap. You also might want to turn the pole upside-down due to wear, and then its convenient to have extra rope at both ends.ĭrill two small holes opposite of the cut-outs for the U-bolt. You will need this for re-wrapping in the future. This is the 'inlets' for the rope.Īllow at least 2 meters of extra rope stored inside the pipe at both the top and the bottom. Make one cut-out for the rope at each end of the pipe.
