This made me smile, seems he liked it
Was it difficult to do? Stretch and attach the fabric?
I didn't really plan it, so sequencing building the frame vs attaching the carpet was a little annoying, but overall not bad at all.
This isn't the first one I've made for them, but I used spray adhesive on the first, which wasn't nearly effective enough. This time I used carpet adhesive, which was more cost effective and seems to be much more effective. Downside to that, though is that I had to wait 24 hours after carpeting a piece to attach it
I've done plenty of cat stuff with staples, especially the sisal rope, as long as you angle it in the direction they would be scratching it's usually fine, you do need a really heavy duty staple gun tho
I use staples, too. I use them for the primary attachment of carpet, while the adhesive cures. Clamps, too, depending on how aesthetically pleasing the surface needs to be
