Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2023
We already had plenty of scrap lumber in our workshop; so I used 3/4" thick MDF to make a wide square base and then securely bolted a 4"x4" post in the middle. I covered the base with some leftover carpet scraps; and I'm currently in the process of wrapping the 4x4 post tightly with the sisal rope. I brush a very thin layer of adhesive on sections of the post as I'm wrapping it. During all this wrapping, my hyper kitty is stalking me and attacking the post and swaying rope. Apparently, she's having trouble waiting for her Christmas gift. I haven't yet decided what will go on top of the post (simple platform or sleeping box?) or how tall to make the post. It's cut right now at 6' but I may cut it shorter. If I leave it at a taller height like that, I'll have to secure it to the wall somehow in order to keep it upright during exuberant play. I have to hurry up though...Goose is getting impatient.
It's always nice to have other uses for products. Since I'll have leftover sisal rope (I bought 2), I'm also making some of the small, old-fashioned sisal bottle-brush Christmas trees (found a great tutorial online). I'm making them in assorted sizes and will leave some of them the natural sisal color and will dye some of the others. Pretty cool.
For both of these projects, I've been very happy with the quality of this sisal rope. I had checked at 2 different home improvement and hardware stores, and their sisal ropes had a very strong unpleasant solvent-type odor. This rope has a bit of a smell, but it's more of a subtle straw or dried-grass odor. Nothing unpleasant. I would have given a 5 rating; but I feel that the price is rather high. I guess you just have to pay extra for non-stinky rope.
UPDATE: Wrapping the 6 foot tall 4x4 post tightly required nearly two packages of this sisal rope. I finished Goose's climbing tree with a simple carpet-covered platform on top, as well as three smaller carpet-covered ledges spaced randomly up the post. Goose loves it!
I ordered 200 feet of this sisal rope (I was just guessing how much I would need; turns out 100' for this post was barely enough), and, while waiting for the rope to arrive, watched a number of YouTube videos. Seems like everyone has their preferred process, many of them involving lots of nails or hot glue.
I didn't want to use lots of nails because (a) it would take more time and (b) I was worried about my cats' claws hitting those nails, and I didn't want to use hot glue because (a) it would take more time and (b) I want to be able to rewrap the post when needed without having to peel off the glued rope.
So here's how I did it. Note that one of my cats showed up right away and added a challenge level of difficulty to this task.
== Tools ==
* kitchen scissors for cutting off the excess rope when done (diagonal cutting pliers might have been better)
* a hammer
* five 2" double-grip nails
* about one inch of tape (not shown in photos)--masking tape is fine, though I used plumber's tape
* lavender essential oil in case a cat accidentally scratched me while I was rewrapping the post (nobody did)
== Process ==
Note: once you get started, unless you have a human helper to hold the rope, you can't stop until you're done because you have to keep constant tension on the rope.
1. Remove all the old rope and put it into the compost.
2. Tuck one end of the rope tight against the bottom part of the post (you could also start at the top and wrap down, but I started at the bottom and wrapped up).
3. Using one nail, anchor the end of the rope to the post.
4. Start wrapping. Pull the rope TIGHTLY the entire time. Pull and wrap tightly around each corner.
5. You'll find that if you keep holding and pulling the rope tightly around each corner, it naturally wraps closely with the previous coils, but as needed, use your hands to push the rope down.
6. At the top, keep wrapping until you think maybe you can't add more, then make one more wrap.
7. Cut the rope, tightly wrap about one inch of the end with tape, then tuck the final few inches between the previous wrap and the top of the post and use one nail to nail the end down. I also nailed the rope down on each of the other sides at the top (so, four nails at the top total), though that might not have been needed.
And you're done!
