To start, you need to make a large rectangle of plywood. Divide it painted strip in half lengthwise. Next, we outline the space for wooden poles. For this putting a column in vertical position to draw out the plywood and bottom.

It is necessary to make three marks. It is desirable that they are arranged in one line on a torn apart from each other. Distributed along the length of the rectangle must evenly.

The next step – the attachment of the carpet to a rectangle. It is necessary to cut out the shape of the carpet, equal to the rectangle area, and cut it to the level of pillars. Glued carpet should be a special glue.

 

Tip: To make a scratching post fits into the interior, plywood can be clad with a cloth, the corresponding color of its parts.

An important stage – joining column. The first and second column must be close and be equal in size, and a third to accommodate a length two each. First, they need to glue adhesive for wood, and then turning the plywood, screw the screws, so they do not fall off.

Take a piece of plywood, which is approximately half the base. Visually divide it in half along the line and on the right side and note the location for the column. Before you cut and paste it on the figure of the carpet, you need to glue it to the two poles and tighten the two screws. Further, sticking figure.

To glue a mark column such length that will make the whole structure identical in length to a third length of the column. When a small bar will be glued to attach to it a small piece of plywood, screwed into a couple of screws and put a piece of carpet.

When minimized, you can cover the inner part of the strip, so that they are better kept. We must continue to do so until you have a circle whose diameter is about thirty centimeters. After the circle is complete, the tip is pasted.

To hang a scratching post, take the thread and tie it to the boundary layer. If you want to use the adhesive strips when minimized, at the last winding it is not necessary to add, otherwise the thread does not get through. The other end of the strings primatyvaem to stud.
