I love it I think it looks very cool. if I were to use that design, the only thing I would change is I wouldn’t leave gap’s in the carpet. I think by leaving gap’s in the carpet it makes it more difficult because they’re concentrating on missing that gap instead of concentrating on running full out. Great video keep it up .👍🏻

If you have a router, make a cheap circle cutting jig from some scrap MDF. In mine, I made a 1/4 groove and used 2 layers of 1/8th hardboard glued together. This was faster and easier than gluing screwing all the individual boards and it creates a perfect circle. Hardboard is extremely flexible. All in, $54 for 3/4th 1 sheet of MDF, $14 for 1 sheet of 1/8 hardboard, $17 for longboard wheels/bearings and < $20 for other various hardware/glue. You can make a simple stand with less than two 2x4's. All in you can easily make one of these for $100 + time. Better quality than a commercially available one. From what I've seen the $150 ones are junk and only start to get okay at $350 up to $600. There's a lot of comments saying its cheaper and better to buy, but I'd disagree if you have even just a couple basic tools.

Awwww kitty excersizing is cute dont bother if my writing is wrong i am in 3rd grade im from a country that does not speak english but i some how know it very well
Yeah,the bigger diameter, the better for cat. But the weight should also be considered. Thank you for watching my video, If you satisfied with my video, please subscribe :)
@@noli Your video and above 120 cm diameter comment is helpful. If I were to make this, I can see that making the base might be problematic. What are the dimensions of the base and how did you cut the arc in the base so that all four (4) of the caster wheels will work together on the cat running barrel?
How about changing wood planks for something like pvc? If you heat pvc you can make perfect circle with it and it will weight a lot less then wood planks
@@noli Try asking or checking places that make street banners or typography, i worked in one, and they have normally access to pvc and can make it any size or form, or at least say where to buy it raw
@@noli where i live 1m2 pvc will be less then 20$. In your case you need like 25-30cm x 320cm panel for that, which just around square meter. Already made one probably gonna cost more, because of work expenses
Hello there from the Netherlands. ...looooove you vid !! Thank you !! Could you please upload a vid of where or how high / low to place the rollers between the wood
Thank you for watching my video :) I've got more info on my blog. But the position of the roller depends on the size and height of the roller, so I can't decide. It is best to adjust the diameter to the catwheel.
I really love this design, I want to try to replicate it, woud you be so kind of sharing the dimensions of the tiny boards, the materials, I read in other coments the size of the weel is H130cm by W 35cm, Thanks in advance!
Thank you for watching my video :) The cost is as follows. It's expensive..I want to find a cheap material. 1. Wood costs $ 90 and cutting costs $ 50. : If you are in an environment where you can cut woods, you can save cutting costs. 2. Urethane wheels used 10 to 5 dollars each. : There are cheaper wheels, but it can be noisy. 3.

I'm trying to keep mine under $100....I think I have all the materials ready and I'm at about $83 ready to start.....Might need band-aides, I'm not that handy with hand tools!
for the amount of money spent on that (not to mention time) you could just buy a pre-made one. It would roll more smoothly and not have gaps in the carpet/surface.
Yes you are right. Pre-made product quality will be better and the price will not be much expensive. I Recommend for those who have extra wood or want a special size catwheel.
@@hino823 Nope. Less than $500. And he already explained it was more than $150. BTW, you might notice that the guy who posted the video agreed with ME!
Ive seen a lot of cats trip or roll in the wheel in the heat of the moment so I would put much more effort into making the edges rounder and softer than that because of splinters.

@@oldfishi it depends on how big your cat is, your cats back should not arch when they walk or run.
