My daughter Tracey, had an idea about building something for her cats to
climb on and wanted to know if I could help her build it. She said she
already had the design on paper and once she told me about it, I was
more than happy to help her.
After a trip to the hardware store for some lumber and fasteners, it
was time to get started. For the center posts I used two 2 X 4's and
some 1/2" plywood strips between them to create a 4 X 4. The strips were
used in place of one solid 1/2" piece of plywood so I would end up with
a hollow area down the middle. This hollow area would be used for some
1/2" all-thread which was used to hold top piece, 4 X 4 posts and base
together with. The base is made out of particle board and pine was used
for everything else.
