Usage Features

Elevated Resting Spot: Provides an elevated platform for cats, which can satisfy their natural instinct to climb and observe their surroundings from a height.
Two Perches: The "2 Canopies Box" includes two separate perch units, allowing for multiple cats to use the system or for a single cat to have options for different resting spots.
Secure Installation: Emphasizes the importance of screwing into wall studs to ensure the perches can support the weight of a feline, highlighting safety as a key feature.
Aesthetic Design: While not explicitly detailed, the "canopy" description suggests a design that might offer a sense of enclosure or shelter for the cat. The visual representation shows a textured surface within the perch, possibly mimicking grass or a soft bed.

Maintenance Features

Installation Guidance: The manual provides clear, step-by-step instructions with illustrations for assembly and installation, which helps ensure correct setup and potentially prolongs the product's lifespan.
Warning on Installation: Explicitly states that "L-brackets are 16" apart to ensure correct installation into the wall studs. If screws are not aligned into the wall studs it might not support the weight of your feline." This serves as a critical maintenance instruction to prevent damage or failure.
Two-Person Installation: Recommends that "installation may require two people," which can help with proper alignment and secure mounting, reducing the risk of errors that could lead to maintenance issues.
Leveling Requirement: Advises using a level on the flat portion of the shelf to align it straight, contributing to a stable and aesthetically pleasing installation that is less prone to stress or damage from uneven weight distribution.
No Plastic Anchors: Explicitly states, "Holes are 16" apart. Installation should only be into the wall studs. We do not recommend using plastic anchors," indicating that the product's design relies on the structural integrity of studs for support, and deviating from this could lead to product failure or damage.
Self-Assembly: The product is designed for user assembly, with all necessary hardware and instructions provided, allowing for user-driven setup and potential re-assembly if needed.
Customer Support: The manual includes a note encouraging customers to contact On2Pets for any questions, suggesting a channel for support if maintenance or assembly issues arise.
