How To Make Easy Cat Scratching Post With PVC Pipes, Rope And Hot Glue

So my fluffy destroyed old cat tree and insisted for new one. About 20eur and some hours off from sunday and she got new cat tree. I had thought about buying a cat tree, but around 20 eur there was nothing good to choose from. Since I like to do everything myself, I bought the materials and made it myself.
Material list:
1x D110-1000mm sewer pipe
1x D110-250mm sewer pipe
1x D110/110 sewer pipe triangle
3x D110 sewer pipe cups
1x D110 sewer pipe 90 angle
1x D110/110 sewer pipe coupler
1x 6mm x 60m rope (around pipe is about 36cm so if you want make 1m scratch post you need 100cm/0,6cm= 166.7 x 36cm= ~6000cm = 60m of rope
1x 30x30x1.2 cm plywood for first step
1x 40x40x1.2 cm plywood for cat bed +4x 39x4x1,2 cm plywood for bed walls +1x 40x40x2 foam cushion + 1m artificial fur fabric
1x 35x35x2.6 cm plywood for base
some screws and glue sticks

[@ovelhadeblush]

thank you for this video!! i was searching for a diy of how to build a cat scratching post with pipes but could only find it with wood! im gonna make this this week! thanks a lot

[@craftzars]

Good luck with your scratch post. :) my cat use it every day. Sometimes lazy way - sleeping on that middle shelf and scratching nails without getting up. I was using hot glue for every round of rope, so if cat destroy rope, it does not unwind all the way. My build is good only in corner, because its quite high and base cant provide stability. Need to redesign litle bit. Probably cut round circle in base and post tube through. Or put round plywood in tube , screw around and then screw to base. :)

[@neonbtslover7372]

Oh wow that’s amazing I am also having these pipes in my store so I am thinking about making s huge cat tree for my cats using those pipes💜💜

[@TheMetaldudeX]

Thanks for the idea! I was looking at cat trees to get for my gf cat but the top shelf for them to sit on is always too small. I thought it would be simple to make myself. PVC pipe is a great alternative to wood and probably a lot cheaper.

[@Beckola11]

Ohhh. So wood would be expensive.? I'm thinking I could put something acceptable together. I am not, in any way, going to pay 300 bucks for a car tree!

[@JO-ch3el]

Wow what a great idea! Very simple and easy to scale up or modify. Only the base/foot should be larger or heavier to prevent tipping. Piling rocks beyond a certain height won't make it more stable, just heavier. Can't wait to try this!

[@susannathompson7597]

I was thinking that too, bigger base.

[@tenaciousduk6587]

Ta-dah! Far superior to the crap ones they sell that cost the earth. Made with love. Well done sir.

Maine coons are very big cats, then you need to figure out more stable base.

All the other DIY cat trees shown on KZbin look very complicated. Your cat tree is perfect for my skill set. I happen to have a glue gun, but for PVC pipping I might buy PVC glue. The rocks for stability is perfect , simple and genius.

[@craftzars]

Yeah pvc glue will be much better, hot glue dont bond pipe very good,thats why i put there some screws too.

The biggest accomplishment is definitely when the cat happily sits down on your invention.❤😂
