Assembly
Thank you for purchasing a Monkee Tree. Your cat will love you for it!
Please take the time to read these instructions, and for the safety of your cat and others ensure that the
safety and security requirements are followed.
Safety and Security
Monkee Tree was developed with you and your cats safety and security in mind. There are
however some key requirements when installing and using your Monkee Tree that need to be
followed to ensure the safety and security of everyone
.
Your Cats Safety
While cats are well known for their climbing ability not all cats are agile and athletic due to age or a disability. It
is therefore important for you to assess your cats capabilities to safely climb a Monkee Tree. Additional inter-
mediate branches can be added if needed to make it easier to climb.
A safe landing area (at least 4ft or 1m radius) around your Monkee Tree, free of obstacles, is required should
your cat slip and need to land on the ground.
Safety of Small People
Subject to your cats abilities, we recommend the lowest branch to be placed in the 7
th
Trunk from the bot-
tom. This is for two reasons. Firstly most fully able cats will jump to and from a branch at this height and not
use lower branches even if they are installed. The second key reason is to prevent small children from trying
to climb a Monkee Tree. So unless you have the area where your Monkee Tree is installed fenced off to pre-
vent small children from accessing the area then do not install branches in the first 6 Trunks.
For older children (44lbs, 20kg and over) who may be able to climb the higher branches, the folding branch
feature will prevent them from scaling your Monkee Tree.
High level openings to outside, such as windows must be secured/restricted so that opening widths are no
greater than 4inchs (100mm) to prevent children climbing out. As a general rule any opening (window, balus-
trade etc) to a height of 4ft (1m) or over must have a restricted opening such that a sphere of 4inches (100mm)
cannot pass through. This can be achieved by installing a security latch to lock a window open at a specified
gap. We recommend you check your local building regulations as requirements may differ in your area.
And don’t worry about your cat fitting through a narrow gap. Cats have an amazing agile skeleton structure
which means they can fit through small gaps, being only limited by the width of their heads.
Security
Monkee Tree’s have a unique folding branch feature which means the branches fold down when overload-
ed. This feature will therefore deter someone trying to break into your premises by climbing your Monkee
Tree. However the main Monkee Tree structure could be used to assist climbing similar to a drain pipe at-
tached to your house. We therefore recommend that windows and doors are adequately secured to prevent
unwanted entry.
