How can i fix my cat tower? please help

Submitted by annabethhh t3_11a1epx in DIY

I bought it like 2 years ago. And it broke in less than a week. It was too weak. I want to rebuild it, but some parts broke and I can't put the screws in it, I think the thing inside that hold the screws are out of place. Sorry for the bad explanation, but I can't post a picture of it. I would love some help

Fill the screw hole completely with wooden toothpicks soaked in wood glue. Wait a day or two for it to dry. Drill to a hole a bit smaller than the diameter of the screw. Don't overtighten when screwing into the new hole. If you never intend on taking it apart, add some strong Locktite onto the threads of the screw.

The red parts are the ones that are broken.

Based on the images, you might get away with using 4 or so screws around the original hole going into the plastic end of the post from the carpeted plank bit. This all depends on if there is much for the threads to bite into behind the plastic.
