I need to redo the two lower posts of my cat tree. They are each 20" down and 13" round (posts are square), how much sisal rope do I need please.

I used the entire pk for jus about the same size. Actually wished had a bit more!

If I understand you correctly. The Circumference of the round post is 13". You will need to go around the post roughly 56 to 60 times. You will need 1 3/4 rolls of the 100' sisal rope. If I can make suggestion as you wrap your post consider taping down on our rope with a hammer every 2 rounds. This will condense or pack down the rope making for a very tightly wrapped post. Your cats will LOVE it. Have fun. You will love it.

I think about 115 feet of rope. I assumed the 13 inches round is the circumference of the post, ie 3 inches square.

I have purchased two cat toys which consist of a 3 ft. long stick and a string, one having a feather at the end and the other having a "mouse" at the end. Both strings now have knots in them from rigorous use. I measured the string to be about 2 1/2 ft long. I also have to mention that I have had to retie the string to the "end" toys because the toys were pulled off a couple of times. I hope this information is helpful to Bengalmom.

I don't see why not! I would try to get the new rope as tight as possible. As I make all my own cat trees, scratch platforms I think you would be fine and as you said, the old wrap hasn't come unraveled. I made my kitty a 4 ft post out of a 4x4 & when it becomes well used, ( like yours) I intend to just wrap over it.

I think you would be much happier getting a different one. I reviewed this cat tree. My sons cat was pretty small and she has trouble navigating it. The covering is kind of slick and our cat had trouble climbing it. I think my sons cat was 5 or 6 pounds. I wouldn't buy again.

Ok! Let me get good measurements on all of that tomorrow. We did the same thing, and just kept the plastic disc underneath. That is a smaller hole, and I am not sure you really need it. I good hemp rope would probably be best, we used a climbing rope, and tied a thicker knot. I will measure it all out for you in the light outside tomorrow!

Hi Shannon , I'm sorry , I have to amend my previous answer. I have the bigger Armarkat cat tree # A7401 it's 50"(L) x26" (W) x74" (H) and weighs 65 pounds. It is the one recommended by Maine Coon Cat Nation. Sorry for the confusion.

My cats love this climber too much too. They use it sooo much they have thrashed one of the bottom posts too. Im considering just buying some sisca rope to staple gun around the eye sore part of it.

This isn't the configuration I have. This is the one I have: Armarkat B6802 68-Inch Cat Tree, Ivory. It's a few dollars more, but looking at both, I'd say it's worth the difference. My cat LOVES it!

under 40lbs would be good. I really like my armarkat cat tree. I have three cats and they love.... it. I researched which one was the best and armarkat company came in second, first was way to expensive. They are also very affordable. My husband put together in no time and said about the quality was really good... Get it!!!!!!

I believe instructions are to use one spike per inch diameter, not circumference. Check the instructions again to confirm. I am certain that you do not need 18 spikes for your tree.

Would have to check that at home tonight, but I don't know if I have the original box measurements. I don't recommend this cat scratch post. Too light weight and my cat couldn't care less for it.

HI!! I have not had to buy rope for my cat tree yet, but I will soon need to. I would like to know where you bought yours? Sorry i could not be more help..:(

There posts are small about a 1/2 inch each so you would need 4 to make one 2 " post.

So I'm in the same boat looking for sisal fabric to recover my post... I don't find anything, which is a bummer, but I'll keep looking as I can't see spending another $40+ on a new post when this one is just great for balance etc. I've taken off the ends and it should be easy to recover if I can find something to work. I may just have to find a cheaper rug with sisal or a tightly woven fabric of another fiber and use that. Sorry the company hasn't moved ahead in that direction to provide an option other than buying a new post. Economics I suppose...

I went out to get the lights which are still in the box to see if they looked to long for an 18 inch tree and I realized the seller had sent me a strand of 50 instead of 35. I didn't use them for the intended purpose so I hadn't noticed I was sent the wrong thing. Therefore I can't answer your question.

I dont know if it is sisal or what kind of rope it is but the rope is strong my cats have clawed at it every day for a month still is intack I have 11 cats with claws. The fur seems to repel cat fur I cleaned it the other day all the cat fur came right off. Was impressed. This had been a very nice addition to cat toys in our house.

2 pedistals are about 12x12 inches, top box is also 12x12 and bottom box is 18x12. This is a nice tree and has served our seven... yes seven (ridiculous I know) cats well for about a year now. We have huge cats. Of course with that many cats, the ropes don't last long (better the ropes than my furniture!) but it is still pretty sturdy and they sleep/play on it all the time. We have 3 cat trees in the house, they are all good. My cats love them.
