INSTALL ON STUD WALLS
We advise attaching ALTO to stud walls, not drywall. Studs provide a strong anchor, ensuring stability and safety for your cat. Drywall alone might not support your cat's weight, risking falls/damage.
-
WHAT IS A STUD WALL?
Stud walls are the internal framework of walls, made of vertical wooden 'studs'. Typically in US homes, they're 2x4 wood bars spaced 16 inches apart, with the thin side facing the wall's surface.
-
HOW DO I FIND A STUD?
Tap Wall: Hollow sound = no stud; solid sound = stud present.
Measure 16" from corner/outlet/switch, which are near studs.
Stud Finder: Slide across the wall, it will beep or flash over a stud.

HOW DO I INSTALL ALTO?
Once you've located the stud, follow the INSTRUCTIONS included and step by step VIDEO GUIDE to install your new ALTO.
Tip: If unsure, consult with a professional before installation. Safety first!

(SEE PIC) The steps leading up to the hammock are not included in this kit. I prefer these steps over the posts included.Both of my beasts love it. The other feline is a much larger cat and she has ample room to sprawl, stretch and sleep.Quality build and design. Good stitching, good fabric. Easy installation (find a stud for at least one screw) and sturdy.

Seems like a well made product. Looks great! And so far 2 of my kitties like it. It took one of them a day or so to become comfortable with it. Another one took to it right away. You may have to be patient. But for the past few days everytime we wake up or come home there is a cat sleeping in the hammock.Easy to install but you must follow the directions and attach it to wall studs. If not I doubt it would withstand the weight. The picture showing the wall studs at 15" apart was very helpful. If you attach it to the studs it will be very strong.

We created a cat wall for our two three year olds this past christmas. We bought a couple corner shelves, a three section shelf and two hammocks, gradually filling up and rearranging shelves and steps for functionality. Around day 8 we needed another item to fill the space and to provide a stepping transition. Getting a third hammock made the most sense as it was by far their favorite, they both were vying for the highest one. These hammocks are the easiest to paint and to assemble. The pre drilled holes are spaced at 14 inches which is exactly how far apart the support studs are spaced inside the wall. We did decide to replace the provided screws with other ones that support up to 200 pounds as our cats tend to jump and land in the hammocks so they need to accept a great deal of landing pressure. We hung the provided steps within reach above the hammocks as they not only walk on themto reach the other shelves but they also enjoy stretching up and over the round steps to sharpen their claws. We used elastic cord to tie a few feathers and fluffy toys around the steps. They have a jolly good time pulling off the elastic and climbing down with their "prey" in their mouth. Easy enough for us to slip the elastic loop back around the steps again.Its the "cats' meow"! Before we we added the extra "stair steps" leading up from the couch back, they would meow to be picked up and put in them.Highly recommend this product for quality, value and functionality.

Think the photo says it all.Good quality.Although they do supply it, as with all of these types of things I suggest you use your own wall plugs and screws.

Beautiful, good value for money, sturdy, comfortable, my picky cat loves it. He’s a “big and tall” cat, and it suits him just fine.

I ordered two sets of these. I had planned to have them laid out around the window seat, but the studs there weren't placed as expected, so I changed the layout to the wall next to the window seat. The quality of the components is excellent. There was a wee bit of misalignment in one of the bolt holes of one of the hammock assemblies, but I was able to make it work by swapping the hammock assembly pieces from one of the products to the other. The biggest challenge for me was that I didn't know how to drill into studs, and drilling the pilot holes as instructed was NOT working! My drill could get the bit in only a little bit and kept binding. I googled how to drill into studs and found that I needed to drill in a little bit at a time for the pilot hole and clean the drill bit when extracted--that helped a lot. Still, the last few turns of most of the stud screws when I drilled in the actual screws had to be done by hand, my drill couldn't exert enough force. So--if you haven't drilled into studs before, you might want to check out how first. But that's not a reflection on the product--just something I didn't know how to do. Perhaps that's in the "help" QR code that was included with the instructions, but I just googled first. Overall, I'm very, very pleased with the product and am really hoping my cats love it!

We've got 4 cats 2 of them are more active. One is a kitten Chaplin about 10 weeks old and the other is our large white named Loki who's almost 3 years old. They have both tested out these steps and hammock. Chaplin loves the height and views, uses the rope lining on the steps to scratch and balance itself as it hops along. Loki took a little longer to adjust to these steps, needed a little catnip to help. We were a little concerned at first since he's a solid 12lbs and we could hear the hammock creak when he got on to it after it was first installed. Its been a few days now and I believe it has settled into the wall attachments so we have not heard additional creaking and it seems very solid. Installation was quick and easy and I appreciate that the wood is untreated so if we should like to stain it in the future to match furniture changes it would be easy to do so. The overall look is very stylish and we received compliments from family members who were visiting for the holidays. Will definitely be looking at this brand again for future purchases!
