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

Let's see...this was a non-clickbait video with a cheap, easy project that requires no power tools, little money, and not much carpentry skill. Checks all the boxes for me! Thank you for sharing this with us.
It truly is an odd thing to find a project that you don't have any excuse to not do it, I guess I have no choice now lol.

They didnt say "SMASH THAT LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE BUTTON" so I actually liked and subscribed lol
4 inch pvc is pricey

I can't believe how well domesticated we are that we must dedicate our time and space to these little ball of furs 🤭😅😻😹
If we don't, they will destroy the house. Lol
@@kristinfrostlazerbeams exactly lol

that's why I love the expresion "cat guardian". We are nowhere close to the "owners" of them lol
❤❤❤
If the base was a wider it would be more sturdy. Great video. Thanks for the glue gun farts. Funny.
glue gun farts hahahahaha
I don't think all the fart noises were from the glue gun
Cat: “you know I don’t like grey” Lol
Lol
Came for the diy project. Stayed for the glue farts :P
Saw a cat scratching post that costs 250 dollars so I came here instead lol great video, the cat enjoying it at the end was the perfect touch
How much did it cost you
Thank you for sharing this! Loved the fact that you got straight to the point without too much talking, and that you showed the process in a simple and easy-to-follow way. Saving this for future reference and subscribing for more!
Красиво !!! Отличная работа !!! Молодец !!! Россия 39 регион, привет с Балтийского моря !!!
3yrs later & this video still rock's. And for that I thank you sir 🌻
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!
I was thinking that too, bigger base.
I literally do this. No super power equipment needed. Thanks for sharing this
The perfect husband right there :D
We live in this place for year now and we dont have any furniture except kitchen and bad, because i want to try make it by myself but i dont have much time :D thats a dark side of handyman. I can, but just need time
@@craftzars The life of a DIYer in a nutshell. "I want to make ALL the things". Haha. Every time someone in my household wants to buy something, I always say "I can make that", and I can, but actually finding the time to make the stuff is the challenge.

Direct, too the point, kitty loves it!! Very cool!
The only thing I would suggest the base be as wide as the whole tree.
Nice ha
You make it look so easy to make a cat condo,, I’m going to try this but make it taller, you did a great job 👏🏼
That's pretty awesome! It's very less involved than being a DIY carpenter. Thanks for the video and +1 for the anchor solution.

I love how this video was done. Those sound effects make it.
Que materiales se nesecitan de cuanto x cuánto cuánto se nesesito de yute de cuánto x cuánto van las tablas
Ta-dah! Far superior to the crap ones they sell that cost the earth. Made with love. Well done sir.
Nice present for a cat! I LOVE it
You are so creative and smart. Amazing work , looks simple, but very strong. Well done! Wish you the best.
Simply genius! Thanks brother!
Thanks so much!!! ❤ I think it's the best "rascador de gatos" video that I've ever come across!! 👌🏽👏👏💕
Don't mames, you make me laugh un montón 🤣
Your cat looks exactly like mine. I almost looked around to check if mine was really here with me 😂 thanks for sharing this! ✌🏻
Cool idea and can actually expand as big as you want with this PVC model
I liked that transition! And this was great because my cat DOES NOT like big cat trees and all that stuff but this was very simple and easy so thank you!
So did you build it?
Funny sound from hot glue gun :P :D
agree
Can you imagine a group of crafters in the same room using the same sounding glue gun?
😂😂 Took me out
Don't tell like that please.
i was waiting for the hot glue gun part after seeing this comment. did not disappoint
Perfect done with a high quality thank you so much
Less hassle for those who never experienced Carpentry I love it!^^
Great video and some good tips how to connect the wood with the pipes! 👌
So happy i found your channel!!! TY!!!!
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.
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!
this is so good and ur cat looks so happy there :)
Great job. Lovely kitty
Appreciate the video sectioning with timing.
Omg something that I can do, leave the sizes in the box Thank you, my cat going to love it 8)
I screamed “ohhhhhh” when he added the rocks
Bet anyway, if you dont put it in corner you need wider or heavier base 😌
Bet the rocks did nothing and he still had to screw it to the wall
@@nunocarneiro464 no need screw to wall if it stays in corner 😉
Класс! Все доспутно,просто и не хуже покупной! Супер!
No such thing as cat owners. It's human owners when it comes to these little amazing looking hellions.
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💜💜
Thanks! Im for sure gonna take this idea and make a cat tree for my cat aswell, haha.. just doing it right now
Youre a wizard with that hand saw..
Amazing how incredibly fast you work.
Great video I watched from start to the end.
Very nice cat daddy.. this was a good video! Simple tree to make kitty happy
Amei a ideia, obrigada por compartilhar.
Fluffy looks so happy
Great idea, and it looks great at the end! 😃
Fantastic!!! Just what I wanted 💪💪💪
All the other DIY cat trees shown on KZhead 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.
Yeah pvc glue will be much better, hot glue dont bond pipe very good,thats why i put there some screws too.
That's an amazing job!! Now it's outdoor proof too. Well if you put astro turf or outdoor fabric 😊
Thank you. nice to meet you. I woke up often
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
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. :)
Thank you for sharing! It's useful.
Amazing job!!!
Perfect👏🏻 It’s very helpful for me. Thank you sooooo much. I will try this for my cat 🥰🥰
Did u try?
Thanks for the video! Great work. I actually built one based on this. Made the base a bit larger though to make it more stable.
I wish there was an option to add pics/vid so you show off your handywork 🎉🎇🎆😀🐾🐾
How long did the wires hold? Im afraid my cats will scratch it of in no time
Do you remember how much the project cost you?
All materials are in video description. It cost me about 30eur.
My kitty would love this👍🏽
Its the tooting noises for me🤣 Thanks for sharing your tutorial. ❤❤❤
Ah, he loves his kitty! 🥰 Great job, I have been trying to figure how to make a tree big enough for my Maine Coons. Now I know.
Maine coons are very big cats, then you need to figure out more stable base.
@@craftzars Oh yes, of course. I have only found 1 tree big enough for them now but they only turned a year old. They have 3 more yrs to grow.
Wooow kitty loves it 🤗
beautiful cat
The biggest accomplishment is definitely when the cat happily sits down on your invention.❤😂
Я смеяться начала когда услышала как работает ваш клеевой пистолет🤣🤣
This is Awesome!
Good Job. Thanks for the video! I'll have to try this.
Awesomely made.
Such a creative but easy way to built a cat scratching tree! Defenitely inspired me to built one myself!
When I made mine in much the same manner I filled the bottom 3/4s of the pipe with concrete to stabilize it for feline ariel launch acrobatics.
Thanks for the great idea!
Super, bravo, thanks for idea!!!!!
Just Perfect 🌟👍
Wowww....great idea. Bravo
Wow excelente, gracias ❤
Lovely 😍
great job brilliant idea. congratulations you were really good ! i was looking for something that would inspire me to make one for my lissy, i really liked that . hello barbara .

Very cool! This looks easy to follow. I'm an amateur at these kind of thingy but my hand kinda feel itchy to try it 😂
kzhead.info/sun/Z8qAn9iRroZ6ZWw/bejne.html
That was brilliant
Le minou a essayé : ça lui plaît, 😻donc bravo à vous, idée très sympa et pas chère, top👌👌👌

Good job 👍🏻
I loved, is perfect 😱
Simple and easy to make for someone who isn’t very good at building projects. 😝that glue sound 😂
Love it! Thanks
Wow i love that i did this actually
Loved the rocks to weigh it down.
Bet they did nothing and he still had to screw it to the wall
@@nunocarneiro464 could be made more sturdy if the Base US bygger and thicker
Well, great job but I have 2 big toms and frankly I think they could pick that up and haul it to the next room. But ty for sharing. Great for small cats!
That’s amazing keep up the good work
working on it :)
Make more cat thing....I loved this one i m gonna make it 😍😍😍✨✨
This is great idea
