If you’ve ever tried building your own cat scratching post, you know the struggle: “How much rope do I actually need?” Do you buy too much and end up with leftovers? Too little and end up rage-cutting zip ties and starting over?
We’ve solved that with our Custom Rope Calculator for Cat Scratchers—a tool you won’t find in many places (trust me, we looked).
🧰 Here’s what it can calculate:
- 📏 Total height of the scratching post
- 🔄 Diameter of the post (yes, including wrap-around logic)
- 🧵 The rope thickness (¼”, ⅜”, ½” etc.)
- ✅ Automatic estimate of how much rope you’ll need in feet
- ⚠️ It even tells you how many feet per coil or spool if you want to match to standard store-bought rope bundles
It’s ideal for:
- DIYers building a custom post for their cats
- Budget-conscious builders trying to avoid waste
- Pet lovers who want the right scratch without the guesswork
This tool was designed by cat people, for cat people—because nothing’s worse than getting halfway through a build and realizing you’re 6 feet short of sisal.
