Materials
Every material has a reason.
Sisal, beech wood, and wool felt – consciously chosen, designed for longevity.
Sisal
Sisal embodies resilience. Derived from the leaves of the agave – long-lasting, robust, naturally coarse. Exactly what cats need. Exactly what outlasts furniture.
100% natural material
Beechwood
Beech stands for durability. Solid wood substructure, multiplex platforms – stable, low-maintenance, timeless. From sustainable forestry in Europe.
Solid & Plywood
Wool felt
Wool felt offers softness. Made from pure new wool, breathable and temperature-regulating. Certified according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.

Delivery & Returns
H1 · The Sanctuary
120 cm · 1 platform
Entry into the system. Compact, expandable, for every room.
H2 · The Companion
170 cm · 2 platforms
Two levels. Fits into any apartment with a standard ceiling.
H3 · The Explorer Bestseller
220 cm · 3 platforms
Three levels for active climbers. In Germany, any space taller than 230 cm is considered living space - so the H3 fits everywhere.
H4 · The Visionary
270 cm · 4 platforms
Statement piece. For rooms 270 cm and taller — and cats who claim every inch.
The H-Tree uses height, not floor space. The footprint is deliberately narrow – it requires significantly less space than its appearance suggests.
| Model | Height | Width | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|
| H1 · The Sanctuary | 120 cm | 75 cm | 32 cm |
| H2 · The Companion | 170 cm | 75 cm | 41 cm |
| H3 · The Explorer | 220 cm | 75 cm | 50 cm |
| H4 · The Visionary | 270 cm | 75 cm | 59 cm |
No blind spots underneath. The H-Tree has no base plate — the floor underneath remains completely clear. Books, a plant, a basket — the space is yours. And anyone who's ever tried to vacuum under a classic cat tree knows: this is different.

Screw on top
The H-Tree is inherently stable—like a ladder. To secure it against tipping, it is fastened to the wall at the top with two screws.
The screws have no load-bearing function — the construction itself bears the weight. They exclusively secure against tipping. The keyhole system is invisible from the front and can be removed without tools.
Regarding load capacity: Each platform holds 30 kg. We have even stood on it ourselves – the H-Tree didn't complain.
Yes — with the optional Window Mounting Kit (sold separately).
The kit completely replaces the two upper wall screws. Instead of attaching to the wall, the H-Tree attaches to the window — via two 75 mm industrial suction cups directly on the glass. Transparent, residue-free, no drilling.
Each suction cup has a pull-off force of 14 kg — 28 kg combined, significantly more than the weight of any H-Tree configuration.
Additional benefit: The cat gets the best position in the room — height, natural light, unobstructed view outside.
Manufacturer's specifications. The kit is sold separately.
For wall mounting, a drill is necessary. Mounting hardware for standard walls is included. The H-Tree is fastened to the wall with two screws at the top.
Solid wall / Concrete
Use the standard wall plugs supplied.
Plasterboard
Cavity anchors necessary - separately from the hardware store, not in the standard set.
Bricks
Standard anchors, possibly slightly longer depending on the plaster layer.

per platform
The H-Tree can hold more cats than it has room for.
That's not a marketing statement — that's physics and beechwood.
Supporting structure
Solid beech wood – visible, tactile, authentic.
Platforms
Plywood — stable, uniform, durable.
Sisal
Natural fiber for the scratching elements. Replaceable when worn out — the product remains, only the sisal is renewed.
Wool felt
Natural comfort layer. Regulates temperature — warm in winter, cooler in summer. No synthetic fibers.
No MDF
No synthetic carpet
No plastic
Yes — replacement is part of the concept.
When the sisal is worn out, you only replace the scratching element — not the entire H-Tree. Each module is individually replaceable. Spare parts are available directly at htreestudio.com.
How long does the sisal last? That depends heavily on the cat — on how often they scratch, their technique, and which elements they prefer.
What we can say: when it's time, you'll know — and the rest of the H-Tree will continue to function flawlessly.
Because he's not a scratching post.
