The platform is supported by 4 of the 5' poles which I will call legs. My plan called for three platforms spliting the distance from the ground, 0', and the highest the cats would want to be (away from the ceiling) 4'. With some wonderful math we get a platform every 4/3'. Take them out, cut out a space for the T fitting and put it back in. It is a similar process as the 7' pieces.

here was my shopping list: 1.) 12 - 10 foot schedule-40 1/2'' PVC ¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dpvc%2B3-way%2B1%252F2&facetInfo= 2.) 8 - 3-way fittings (most stores have the third direction tapped but Lowes had the right ones in my town) ¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dpvc%2B3-way%2B1%252F2&facetInfo= 3.) 24 - T fittings ¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dpvc%2Bt%2B1%252F2&facetInfo= 4.) 36'' X 50' plastic poultry netting ¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dpoultry&facetInfo= 5.) ZIP TIES (100 - 150 will be plenty, cheap at dollar tree) Got it all for $80.00 You might also need: 1.) a pipe cutter 2.) a marker 3.) tape measureĪfter putting together the frame again (add T's to the smaller segments to get four 7' pieces) hopefully you can see where six more 5' ( 4' 11.5'') poles can fit in, they will be used now to hold some cross bars for the platforms. I chose my dimensions, 7X5X3, because my cats love to climb and the length and width facilitated three levels of platforms that would fit in the shade. Keep in mind that the pipe is cheap and that fancy fittings like the three way joints are what will rack up.
Start off by deciding how much space you have in the yard and how much your cats are going to want.
