So our neighbor's cat has been visiting us for a while, so I decided to build this ramp so that she could more easily get into and out of our yard. I'm not much of a woodworker, but was happy with how this turned out.
It's made almost entirely from cedar fence posts. Nearly 18 feet long (3 fence posts end to end with the dog ear tip cut off). Ripped cedar planks into 3 for a frame/support to prevent flexing. Posts are pine 2x4, and go 18 inches into the ground, which was the majority of the effort, since our ground is like cement...
What?
I'm the one that started the call for asking cats to be leashed in a woodworking forum. I think you're misunderstanding what/why I wrote what I did.
I used the dogs as an example because it seems like everyone demands dogs be leashed in all circumstances outside, but those same people would be fine with cats being unleashed and allowed to roam free for days. I disagree with that mentality entirely. All pets should be leashed/under direct control of the owner.
