- One of our more involved DIY projects is Cat Bridges. These are great for installing in open cat rooms at animal shelters to give free-roaming cats an exciting place to climb and hang out. Rescue Rebuild's Zach Baker takes us step-by-step through the whole process, so you'll be building and installing cat bridges in no time!

Pretty nice. I think this is the bridge I’ll be building. It’s the nicest and best looking manufactured looking piece. My kitties will thank us!
Great job on explaining the process! Looks great!
i love this bridge really great it seemed very achiveable and it is well explained, a great video. im really tempted to make it.
Thanks! That is the cutest!
Good job and thank you for sharing !!!
Great in-depth build! Very well explained and the production quality is great! I’m definitely adding this to my cat wall build! One question, what paracord did you use and what’s the diameter of it?
Great explanation on how to build
How much paracord did you need? How much still rope did you need? And what kind of spacers were those? I have so many questions
Veryyyyyyy good and informative video. Easy to understand. Thank you! :)
Nice job.
I just have 2 concerns. If the space between the bridge pieces is too large (2 beads as opposed to say 1 washer), couldn’t the kitties’ feet slip through & cause an injury?
Second, I would be concerned that my kitties could get tangled in the “railing” part & strangle.
This is great! I’m gonna try making it but what size rope did you use and how big were the holes that you made for the rope
Is the prime, coating, and other wood prep materials bad if the cat likes to chew on the wood?
What size is your paracord?
Great ideas, but my Maine Coon is bending the brackets!
You supervisor doesn't think you should have all the fun with the string.
What is the recommended thickness of plank wood for cats?
Hi there, thank you for your interest in this project! Our team uses 1x2 (3/4" thick) planks for bridges and 2x10 (1-1/2 thick) for the shelves.
Complimenti, bravissimi.
Che corda hai usato per legare il ponte?
Grazie
Il nostro team usa il paracord per la corda. Grazie per la domanda!
Excellent! Do you sell these!.
Are you using standard wood beads that you can get on amazon or is there a certain size you’re using? Planning on making a few of these for our foster room.
Hi Chris,
Thanks for your interest in this project! The Rescue Rebuild team uses these beads, which are 1" with a 3/16" hole: www.amazon.com/dp/B01MSJZLRF?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share.
Tag us in pictures of your finished project on social media so we can see how it goes!
Greater Good Charities thank you very much for the info and for this awesome tutorial! It’s making the project a breeze! Definitely will post up some pictures/video and tag you in it!
@@GreaterGoodorg What's the material/ clothing you used to wrap the wood planks/ cat's steps?
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🐈🐈⬛
What thickness of paracord did you use?
Same question
How high did you cut the dowels?
Thanks for the question! The Rescue Rebuild team cuts the dowels to a height of about 5 inches.
@@GreaterGoodorg thanks! and how deep did you go with the forstner bit?
@@JayJay-sr5gn About 1/2", or the depth of the wide part of the bit 👍🏻
do you sell these
I am worried about the cat hanging itself in those cords or just getting trapped.
Thank you for your concern for the safety of shelter cats 🧡. Our team has consulted closely with cat behaviorists about the design to ensure safety, and we've used it for years without issue. Let us know if you build your cat a bridge, and what they think of it!
@@GreaterGoodorg Thank you, it's a relief to know it's not a hazard for the cats.
How do you anchor the screws? I have one I’m building but I can’t catch the studs in the wall to mount it. Are wall anchors strong enough to hold the weight of a full grown cat. If so what kind were used?
nice tutorial but hate the music why oh why do we have to have music
just mute and have sub titles
Too long to watch
