Outdoor Cat Tree, all cedar construction, eco friendly, stands up to the weather, rustic finish, 52" tall 3 levels

A note from a happy customer:
"I wanted to write to tell you how impressed I am with the outdoor cat tree I ordered from you recently. It arrived in great condition because of the way it was so carefully packed. I was going to hire a neighbor to put it together for me since I'm not handy, but she was too busy so I attempted to do it myself. The instructions were so clear and all the pieces so clearly marked that it was a breeze to get it set up - a pleasure to work on and took very little time. It is made with such care - my feeling is that it was "lovingly" made - with a great sense of pride in the workmanship.

"The cats absolutely love it. I've been moving it to different parts of the catyard till I can find the perfect spot for it. I am so thrilled with the tree. It's so sturdy yet light enough that I can move it if I want and that's a big plus.

"I have 26 cats - all rescues and I always make a point to tell people that they are all spayed and neutered and none of them have ever reproduced. When we moved here we added a sunroom on the back of the house and there is a pet door so they can go in and out at will into the catyard that has special cat fencing along the top the prevents them from getting out where they could get hurt, annoy the neighbors and also wreak havoc on the wildlife. We try to make the catyard as interesting as possible for them and the cat tree is a great addition to their environment. Thank you so much for making this terrific product available." Alice, PA

Solid wood construction will stand up to the elements - no plywood or particle board is ever used.
The wide, stable base extends 20" in each direction for an overall footprint of 40" x 40" on this 3 level model. The 4 level model has a 48" by 48" footprint and the 2 level has a 36" by 36" footprint. That makes our outdoor cat trees exceptionally stable, and the 71" height of our tallest model lets your kitty get above it all. All the levels make a great napping spot or observation deck if your kitty likes to keep an eye on things - as most cats do! 

Features:

• Dimensions:
  52" tall
  40" x 40" base (extends 20" out from the center post in each direction)
  Each platform is 18" x 14"
  3 levels
  Levels are about 16" apart
• Rustic unsanded finish, giving your cats the texture they crave.
• Super strong, solid wood construction, absolutely no particle board or plywood.
• No exposed hardware (except at the base) means no metal hot or cold spots - your kitty will thank you!
• Sturdy center post is made from untreated eco friendly cedar 4 x 4" posts
• Roomy shelves are also made from unfinished cedar.
• Shelves are slatted so rain water won't puddle.
• Stainless steel hardware at the base is rust resistant for years of enjoyment.
• Environmentally conscious 'green' manufacturing processes:
  
  • Sustainably harvested wood from responsibly managed local woodlots
  • Local sourcing of wood reduces carbon footprint from transportation.
    
  • No chemical treatments, preventing harsh chemicals from leeching into the ground and water supplies. Stains are not used or needed; left untreated, cedar turns a pleasing silver-gray with exposure to sunlight.
  • Absolutely no carpet - carpet is made from petrochemicals - 'nuff said!
  • Wood biodegrades - At the end of its long and useful life, cedar furniture won’t occupy any landfill space. Wood breaks down very quickly in landfills, less than 25 years. Plastics can take up to a millennium to decompose.
• Unfinished cedar will provide many years of service outdoors - no finish is required.
• Cedar is an excellent thermal insulator - that means that even on the hottest days, it is cool to touch, and on cold days it feels warmer.
• Our cedar is natural and untreated (why is this important?)
• Cedar absorbs and loses moisture slowly, which minimizes the dry cracking, splintering and swelling more characteristic of oak or pine.
• Cedar has the US Forest Products Laboratory's highest rating for decay and disease resistance.
• Fresh cedar odor is a mild insect repellent.
• Our cedar products are shipped in their natural color, reddish tan to creamy white. The color changes evenly over time to a silver gray.  Water-based or oil stains will delay the weathering process.
• Develops a weathered, silver grey patina in one year for most climates.
• Assembly required - you'll need a Philips head screw driver, a 7/16" wrench or crescent wrench and a small hammer or mallet.
• Hand made in the USA
• Ships directly from the manufacturer in California
• Free shipping via UPS Ground to the continental US!

Please note that over time as it continues to dry and cure, cedar normally will "check", which means it may develop slight cracks along the length of the logs used for the legs.
Checking is a natural process that occurs as the cedar logs release moisture across or through the annual growth rings. It is usually most noticeable on edges and drilled holes, where there is more exposed surface area and drying. Checking adds uniqueness and character to the wood of a natural product. It does not affect the strength of the tree, nor does it affect the structural performance or integrity of the wood, and is not considered a defect.
