Make a Kitty Tower out of Plastic Storage Totes

If you are a cat owner, then you know how cats can get into your things and jump on countertops, tables, and more. Some days, it seems as if cats will do almost anything for attention. When you are busy trying to work from home, complete household chores, or simply relaxing with a good book or watching a show, you do not want to constantly be bothered by your cat. We have the solution. Build a cat tower or condo with plastic storage totes. Your furry friend is sure to be excited about gaining a new toy that he can climb on and explore. The best part is you won’t have to yell at him to get down like you do when he jumps on your kitchen table.

Keep your kitty off the table by creating a tower with plastic storage totes for him. 


 In this blog, we will give step-by-step instructions on how to create such a thing. Prepare to have more time to yourself while your furry friend is entertained by climbing onto and inside of plastic storage totes.

Acquire plastic storage totes. We recommend nine to make the cat tower high enough for your feline to enjoy. Place three totes on the floor side-by-side and with the opening facing you. Place three more on top and the other three on top again. So, you will have three tower levels. You should use glue or adhesive to ensure the totes stick together. You want them to be secure before your kitty goes leaping.

Placing a small cut of old carpet or maybe a rug in each plastic tote can make the tower comfortable for your furry friend. Your cat might think he has landed his very own kitty castle! You are likely to find him sleeping in this tower. He will probably also sit up high to watch what happens throughout the day. Cats like to be privy to what is going on as often as possible.

We recommend choosing a spot up against a wall, for example in your basement or in the back area of your living room, for the kitty tower. In addition to using adhesive, leaning against a bare wall will make the tower sturdier.

Storage to Seating

If you are a social butterfly, like many people out there, you may thrive in the atmosphere of hosting get-togethers at your apartment or home.

Well luckily if you have extra plastic storage totes sitting around your living space you can create one solution to two problems.  For this project all you will need is two plastic storage bins , a piece of plywood and a quilted bedspread. This project is remarkably simple as all you need to do is put the storage bins end-to-end and place the piece of plywood over them to create a flat surface. After the plywood place the bedspread over the top and either fold it under the storage bins or simply let it hang over the edges and hold it in place with decorative objects or walls. You can even put throw pillows on top of the bedspread if you are feeling extra fancy or some padding between the plyw...

DIY Water Feature

Have you been feeling like your landscaping is missing something? Maybe you need a water feature! A water feature will give your outdoor area some visual and audible interest. We are going to tell you how to make a small water feature that's inexpensive and easy to do. First, you need a clear or opaquely clear watertight plastic tote . The size depends on your preference, but we think an 80 quart tote will allow you a great look. Find the area where you want to put your water feature and trace around the tote. Then dig out enough dirt so that the top of the container is flush with the ground. Next, get some larger rocks and place them in the bottom to hold the tote in place. If you want (and this is actually very important), place a pump into the container. Keeping the water moving helps to promote aeration throughout the pond and discourages the growth of pests like mosquitoes and algae. Use some more rocks to secure the pump. Now, here's where your creativity gets to shine! S...
