Finised Cat Tree

[brims]

Edit: title should read "Finished"

After a long time spent gathering materials, the cat tree that I said I was going to build is complete. Still need to install some eye bolts to hang toys from and some eye bolts on the top columns to hang a hammock from. The first picture is 98% of the cut wood that I used for this project. In all I used over 2.5 sheets of 4'x8' 3/4" plywood, somewhere in the neighborhood of 15' of 12' wide carpet (2 colors), 400' of 3/8" Brazilian sisal rope, staples, and some good hardware to keep it all screwed together. It took over a month from the day I started cutting wood until I put it all together in my house, worked on it pretty much every day and had several issues I had to work around. Next step is for the kittens to be born...

The tree stands 79" tall, it's 3' wide and 4' deep; 200 cm tall x 91 cm wide x 122 cm deep. I wanted to weigh each peice before final assembly but I forgot. If I had to, I'd estimate 250 to 275 pounds; 113 to 125 kg. The hide away is large enough for a full grown adult (i.e. me) to crawl through the door and fit completely into. It's strong enough for me to lay on the first beige level.
