DIY Canvas Cat Hammock... Wall Platform, Cat Tree Shelf, etc...

This is part one of the ‘Cat Tree Platform Wall’ that I will be making. It is going to be the first of several cat shelves. This is a 36” long wall mounted canvas bridge/walkway/hammock that I made for my cat Frankie (short for Frank). I made it from some ½” pine scraps scavenged from an old bed frame along with a partially used canvas drop-cloth. Both of these can be found new in most hardware stores, but I felt like being resourceful. Materials: an old canvas paint dropcloth some 2-½” wide strips of ½” pine a pair of 2” angle brackets a few deck screws (1-¼”, 1-⅝” & 3-½”) Pocket hole screws (2-½”) Tools: Miter saw: Cordless drill: T20 & T25 screwdriver Pocket
