The sisal post on your cat tree is worn out, but the rest is still fine? Replace only what is needed with individual parts. That is cheaper and more sustainable than buying an entirely new cat tree. From scratching posts and platforms to hammocks, base plates and ceiling tensioners: below you will find exactly what to look for when choosing the right spare part.

Cat tree replacement parts at Bopets
Sisal posts worn out? That does not mean you need a new cat tree. At Bopets you will find individual replacement parts to refurbish your existing cat tree: sisal posts in all common thicknesses, platforms, hammocks, ceiling tensioners and mounting hardware. Looking for a scratching board as an extra scratching spot? You will find that as a separate part too. Cheaper and more sustainable than an entirely new cat tree, and your cat keeps its familiar scent markings.
What replacement parts are available?
| Part | Description | When to replace? |
|---|---|---|
| Sisal posts | Cylinders wrapped in sisal rope, available from Ø8 to Ø20 cm | When the rope is largely frayed and the core is visible (avg. 1-2 years) |
| Platforms | Wooden or MDF platforms with plush or fabric covering | When covering is worn or platform sags under heavy cats |
| Hammocks | Fabric hammocks attached to the cat tree structure | When fabric is stretched or mounting points loosen |
| Sisal rope (loose) | Rope to re-wrap sisal posts yourself (6-10 mm thick) | For light wear where the core is still intact |
| Ceiling tensioners | Tension screw for ceiling-to-floor cat trees | When tension no longer holds properly |
| Mounting kits | Screws, nuts, caps and felt pads | For loose connections, creaking or wobbling |
Sisal posts, the most replaced part
The sisal post is the part that wears fastest. Active scratchers fray the rope within a year. Our replacement sisal posts are available from Ø8 cm (standard cat trees) to Ø20 cm (heavy Maine Coon cat trees). All posts come with thread (M8 or M10) and are easily hand-mounted, no tools needed.
Platforms, hammocks & base plates
Besides sisal posts, we also offer replacement platforms, soft hammocks and base plates. Is the plush on a platform worn or does the hammock sag? Replace it individually and give your cat tree a second life. Especially for cat trees for large cats, this is a smart investment: the frame lasts years, only the covering and sisal wear out.
Mounting hardware & ceiling tensioners
Ceiling cat trees are held in place by a tension screw between the top of the cat tree and the ceiling. Over time this can loosen. A replacement ceiling tensioner ensures your cat tree stands rock-solid again, essential for your cat's safety.
Sustainable and budget-friendly
A replacement sisal post often costs less than €15, a fraction of a new cat tree that easily costs €100 to €300. By replacing only the worn part, you save money and reduce waste.
New cat tree or replacement parts?
Replacing parts is the best choice when the base structure (frame, base, connections) is still sturdy. Is the wooden frame warped, does the base still wobble after tightening all screws, or does the cat tree no longer suit your cat's size? Then a new cat tree is a better investment. Browse our cat trees or choose a sturdy model from our large cat range.
