Installation Guide

Follow these steps for secure installation. It is recommended to have two people for certain steps.

1. Plan Your Layout: Before drilling, determine the desired arrangement of the shelves on your wall. Consider your cat's movement patterns and preferred resting spots. Ensure adequate spacing between components.
2. Identify Wall Studs: For maximum stability, mount components directly into wall studs using a stud finder. If studs are not available, use the provided wall anchors suitable for your wall type (e.g., drywall, concrete).
3. Mark Drill Points: Hold each component against the wall at its intended location and mark the screw holes with a pencil.
4. Drill Pilot Holes: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. The size of the drill bit should match the recommended size for the screws and anchors.
5. Insert Wall Anchors (if needed): If not drilling into studs, insert the appropriate wall anchors into the pilot holes.
6. Attach Components: Securely fasten each shelf, tunnel, or scratching post to the wall using the provided screws. Ensure all connections are tight and stable.
7. Assemble Bridges and Tunnels: Connect bridge ladders and the tunnel between shelves as per your planned layout, ensuring they are securely attached and stable for your cat's movement.
8. Final Check: Once all components are installed, gently test each piece for stability and ensure there are no loose parts.
