My first DIY project this year. I only had access to a hacksaw with hammer and nails do get this done so it took a while but it was pretty therapeutic to do. I still need to sand and coat but am wondering how much one of these would be at retail price. It’s 200cm by 150cm btw.

Flat packed ones from Asia usually run about $30-60 in basic woods and finishes, about double for slightly better quality ones...hard to compare though since even the cheapest Chinese ones on Amazon have three dimensions and not justctwo.

Not bad, was that originally a pallet?

38 inches is not tall at all. That shelf is waist height and they're using tiny plants to make it look bigger.

Nice work OP. Looks much better than my own attempts.

excellent design for a cat tree

I was thinking that the whole time it will look complete when it’s full of pots and plants

I’m going to have a hanging plant on the top plank hanging off too

Good job.

Next time I would try to do more even gaps between the slats, some are closer than others, but that would be a shitty cut with a hacksaw.

>try to do more even gaps between the slats

My god I did not notice that horrible work.

I mean if you wanted to fix it, you could yank em up, just the top boards and do the math so they’re all even. But then to satisfy my autism, you would probably have to cut a couple boards lengthwise, and that’s rough without a table saw. But you could probably cut notches in the corners fairly easily like on those bottom shelves.

Or forget about it and try to factor that in to the design on the next one.

The last project I did that was similar, I cut a couple small wood pieces to space out the slats evenly, and then left the gaps at either end to be whatever they ended up being. But I learn a little more every wood project I do so somebody more experienced probably has a better idea.

i made a 8x8x6 catio for under 100. and $100 catios on amazon are basically shoeboxes

Your willpower is impressive.

Dear 4chan, Today OP was pretty cool.

PS , don't worry about the spacing, it looks intentional. If anyone mentions it , say you did it to balance both sides visually.

agreed
