Tip for anyone doing this, drill a hole in the pipe and pass the rope end through the hole and secure with glue this way, same when you start there is no loose end to fray as it’s inside the pipe.

They make flat caps for 2.5 & 3in pvc. There is also a cap that fits inside that could be used instead of the cardboard. If you drill a hole on the line where the rope stops you can feed it in & use that to clamp the end of the rope. Epoxy might work better than hot glue. Really cool idea though.

Sanding the outside of the PVC will help give glue something to grip onto as well. If you're gonna go with hot glue I'd at least secure the ends with a stronger glue (maybe e6000 or epoxy..?).

I thought that too about the flat ended PVC instead of cardboard. Though cardboard is the cheaper way if your tight on money, but flat PVC end would hold up longer and would be waterproof. If u decide to go the route of getting flat ends I recommend buying the PVC primer & glue in one ($5-10) and glueing PVC pieces together with that than any other glue.

If you don't mind the look, chair and table legs are excellent cat scratchers, just wrap it snuggly in sisal rope from top to bottom. We have it in addition to the cat trees to increase the amount of scratchers without crowding the apartment to much, when you have 4 cats avoiding dead ends is good. 😅 Our cats love it but I know some ppl don't like the look of sisal rope based scratchers.

@wearechangecthartford

go to home depot and buy a basic carpet roll, wood planks (size determined on how large you want to make landing pads etc), a bunch of 1x2 wood "strips" (enough to add 4 of them inside each footer tube), 1/2 inch or thicker plywood, rope/twine (same as in this video), PVC pipes (same as in this video), a bunch of metal L brackets, and cement footer tubes (diameter depends on how "thick" you want the "trunks" of the playscape/tree). Home depot also sells perfectly cut and beveled circles of wood of various sizes (located in wood section) the same wood circles he uses in this video (kzread.info/dash/bejne/o6aMqpabmcaulJc.html). cut the footer tubes to desired height, cut the plywood as desired for a sturdy base so the entire playscape doesn't tip over (SO A PRETTY LARGE BASE). use the 1x2 wood and screw inside the tubes (cut the length so it's the exact height as the footer tubes so the landings have something to attach to). There should be 4 pieces of the 1x2's inside the footer tubes (top, bottom, left and right) evenly spaced inside the tubes. arrange as desired. glue and staple gun carpet as desired (if using staples arrange them where the cat wont likely scratch to prevent injury), same with rope (mostly just rope the PVC pipe to cut on cost). Mount the footers to the plywood base with heavy duty L brackets (attaching them to the aforementioned 1x2 wood screwed inside the footer tubes) and hide the brackets under the carpet by cutting an X into the carpet, screw into the plywood, then glue the carpet back over the exposed bracket. Attach the landings by either screwing directly down into the 1x2's or using the L brackets... I'm sure you can figure it out once you have all the materials.

Brilliant idea. Brilliant for the cats. Your dog is gorgeous also. One little suggestion I hope you don't mind..the hammock lengths and depths look very small for cats. If I'm doing it, I will measure my cats length from head to tip of tail (room to stretch out ) and then top of cats shoulder down towards end of paw) (curling up room). Thanks so much for video.

Wonderful idea!!! I will be adding a few of these to our home's kitty accouterments. 😸 The only change/addition I will add is using a fender washer or possibly a plug of wood inside the cap that attaches to the wall, just to add a little more support. The inside of PVC caps are usually slightly convex, so it would be difficult to use additional screws and keep things level, but a large washer or wood disk should increase the surface area of the fasteners support (screw head). We have a herd of climbing kittles with three seriously large boys that tip the scale at around 20+ pounds (think beefy bobcats dressed as ginger tabbies and a tuxedo). I'm not sure a single lag screw alone in a PVC cap would support a turbo powered kamikaze kitty in high speed zoomy mode doing speed laps before settling down to take a nap. Our herd of divine felines will love these!!!

Yup wood block inside the wall end cap and use pvc adhesive to keep the end cap on (it fuses the plastics and welds it so its as strong as if it were one part). The screws will quite rapidly eat/saw/deform their way through the pvc as it gets used as pvc is soft.

I used large flat washers inside a flat end cap to give the bolt more security and prevent any stress cracking of the PVC material over time with weight shifting.

I would have used flat end caps instead of the rounded so they would stay firm against the wall and not droop down with the weight of the cats. This is a great idea looks good and inexpensive I will try it on my cat wall at home.

I can see you were struggling a good deal with the ropes sliding around while you worked, would highly recommend scoring up the outside of the pvc with something rough so that the rope has more friction to stay put! It will also help with having the glue a rough surface to adhere to, hot glue and smooth stuff generally doesn't hold super well. Looks sick though.
