TL;DR: the 11cm diameter posts have wider screws than the 9cm diameter posts. The screws are approximately 9mm wide on the 11cm posts and 6mm wide on the 9cm posts.------------------------------------------------------------ Sizing of post fittings -I originally bought a 11cm 70cm tall post, to rejuvenate an old scratching post cheaply. Later on, I needed to replace a post in my cat tree. I took the post from the scratching post to test it was the right screw fitting for the cat tree. It fitted so I went ahead an ordered a new post.I ordered a 30cm tall, 9cm diameter post for the cat tree. As all the other posts were 9cm wide. When it arrived it did not fit.I wondered if the different width posts had different screw fittings,

I like the idea of replacing just the post, to be as low-waste as possible. Also I wanted a larger, wider post, which this is.I discovered that the screw on system of my previous post was different - the screw is attached to the bottom of the post and screws into a metal fitting in the base. The metal fitting was too small to get the Trixie post screw through, but I purchased some larger allen keys and was able to remove it completely, leaving a hole big enough, and from there it was simple to screw the new post on. The cats started using it straight away.The only thing I don't like about the Trixie post (hence four stars not five) is that the top looks kind of functional,

A good replacement for a used post as the base is perfectly serviceable still. The top of the new post is finished with a plastic disc which does look rather cheap if I am going to be picky. However, I believe in time I can turn the post around and get twice as much use out of it. I read previous reviews regarding the size of the screws before purchasing as it's important that the new post can screw into the current base. Even though it comes with 2 adaptable screws, being able to reuse the original insitu screw matters in my case as my base has been closed off and would need a lot more effort otherwise to dismantle. Having said all this my cat has not taken to the newness of the sisal and prefers to use the other scratch posts I have dotted around the house.

I bought a scratching pad with long post a few months ago. After some time, the top was badly scratched by cats and my wife told me to buy a new one. Well, I bought a new one. It came with both sides ready to be bolted to the base. There was no nice looking cap to cover the top of the post. I was taking the cap off the old one and was surprised to find the old post has nuts on both sides, just like the new post. The cap was attached to the top of the post with long, nasty stamps. Well, after cutting the metal stamps, drilling a hole in the centre of the cap, and using one screw with the new post attached to it, I turned the old post from the bottom upwards. It fits all my kitty cats needs perfectly,

What can I say!The shipping speed for this item is quick I ordered this on Friday and received it on a Sunday!It comes with a set of screws, two sided threaded bolt and metal washers.So it is compatible with most types of scratch post bases.Plus even thought my cat only scratches the top section you can take it off and use the other side to! So the post has two holes one on top and bottom.The only small draw back I would say is that even tho you get the screws and a double sided bolt. You don't actually get a Allen key with it as the screw that come with it require one.I think the packaging could be smaller as it comes in a massive box that could fit 3-4 of these in.

Excellent sturdy post and well worth the money. I bought this to attach a hammock for my cats. Very strong. I didn't realise it came with doubled ended screws (A screw at the bottom - obviously to screw into base and screw at the top) If I'd known that I would not have bought the hammock as this was bought to replace a snapped post (the cats done it) and they have a wee bed which can screw on to it.I thought the hammock would have wrapped around the post and you could fix it this way. It fixes via a screw at top of the post.Anyway everyone's happy as the cats like the hammock better anyway.Fab seller, recommended. Fast delivery. Thank you.

What an excellent idea,. My cat absolutely loves her scratching post, so unfortuanetly this means she needs a new one every 3 / 4 months. When buying from my local pet shop I was having to spend £22.00 each time which as you can guess can work out quite expensive, so naturally I thought I would give the Trixie Post a go and she loves it. She's already had it 2 months and this one doesn't seen to be wearing down quite so much, its also and added bonus that once one end has worn down you can turn it over, so its half the money and it last twice as long. I wish I had come across this post before, would recommend to anyone, Well done Trixie Post

Complete scratching posts in pet shops usually seem very expensive, bearing in mind that the bases and tops don't, usually, wear out much. This is an ideal way of prolonging the life of the station. Is easily fitted and can be turned upside down and refitted when signs of wear start to show. The sisal itself appears tough and takes some "hammering" by our cat!Product arrived quickly with all fittings etc. and certainly seems to be much better value than replacing entire unit.UPDATE4 months of "enthusiastic" use by our cat shows little wear of the sisal whereas previous ones bought from shops would have been in shreds by now! Very Good!

Well made product. We recently bought "Trixie Parla scratching post 62 cm, platinum grey" and this spare part product is soooo purrrr much better. It has thick twine is fatter and far more robust. The downside is you need to make a base and also you have to put a bolt in the hole at the top. Not a hardship as they give you the bolt but not the alun key. We used our old base but very easy to make a base with carpet and wood. (The old Trixie post, (Trixie Parla scratching post 62 cm, platinum grey) was very good so beware. they say they have only altered it slightly. Well everything has changed!)

We have quite a big cat who likes to reach up to stretch his back while scratching his post. So it is very good that these have treads at both ends and come and come with a threaded stud to join the posts together as well as screws to connect them to the base. The photos show two of these post joined this also means that when he cuts through the rope at the top I can turn the top one over and then swap the top and bottom so that he uses the whole post. The photos show our rather tired old post that had a good base then with the post replaced and finally a very satisfied customer :-)

This is a repeat purchase with three cats in the house our scratchy poles get a hammering so when I found these I was very pleased. They arrived quickly and are great as I did not want to change the whole cat activity centre especially as their favourite one is no longer made so this was a life saver. Happy customer and happy kitties. If you also want to increase the size of the ones you are replacing this also works well, we have made one of our taller as one on our cats is a very long tall male and loves a good stretch when scratching. Will always return to this seller in future.

Bought to replace one of the posts on the activity centre that 4 out of my 5 cats had destroyed, a bit fiddly to fit but this was due to having to dismantle the activity centre rather than due to the post itself. Came with bolts, washers and an allen key. So far it has withstood the daily clawing very well and has lasted longer than the original post did. Will definitely be buying another shortly to replace a second post they have also destroyed, cheaper than a new activity centre every time the cats destroy the posts and is better made than the original posts.

Bought this as a spare post as my cat had completely ruined the one that came with the stand. It was easy to screw in, although I used the original screw that came with my full stand and post. One thing I'm not sure I like is that the top and bottom of the post look the same, plastic with a hole in the middle, because it doesn't look as nice as my original post that had fabric at the top. But when he ruins the top of this one with his scratching I guess I can just turn it upside down and screw the other end in the bottom so we can get more use out of this one.

My two cats love using a cat scratcher and have destroyed previous ones within a few weeks, they are into grabbing toys and killing them while climbing the pole as well as having a good stretch.... so thought I would give this one a try, I went for the larger width size and brought two to stack onto one another and after a few months of both cats having full crazy play with them they are still holding strong, very happy with the product and the price, and having the two stacked is a perfect length :) two very happy playful cats!!

The existing scratching post needed replacing and there was no point in spending a lot of money replacing the whole item, so I looked for a replacement post that screwed into the existing base - one that was taller and thicker than the one to be replace and I found this. It fitted perfectly - it comes supplied with various bits of fittings and we just needed the basic screw base. Suzi took to it right away - it is just the right height for her and it is nice and thick. A great product - very sturdy and well-made.
