PVC play gym - finished product.









I need to order some more vet wrap but other than that it is finally finished.

Is there any specific types of vet wrap that are not good to use, ones that are better to use??

I was not expecting the vet wrap to smell so bad, will it continue to smell bad, should I worry about the smell? Was I suppose to wash it first?

It does look truly amazing! Wonderful job. I love the extra effort you took to alternate the colors of the vet wrap.

I used vet wrap for the first time about a week ago... it did smell pretty funky... but it has lost most of its odd smell over the past week. (and you do not wash it before use)
Here is my teeny one:

Very nice but damn, you are gonna have one helluva time cleaning all that vetwrap.

Have you considered wrapping some of the surfaces with sisal or hemp for a little variation? You can also lightly sand off the "shine" to make it easier to grip. Also, you can find wooden dowels that fit the pvc fittings for some variation.

Just throwing out a few more ideas for you.
