We made climbing posts for our cats using thick cardboard rolls that come
inside carpet.  Our local Home Depot gave them to us for the asking, but
carpet stores might also be willing to give them away.  To attach the rolls
to a wood base we used cheap pieces of lumber that fit snug inside the
rolls. There are probably better ways of doing that, however.  For carpet we
used a tight weave that seems to be working out fine.  Some we bought, some
we were given by friends who were redoing their carpet.  We also bought a
hemp rope and twisted that around several posts, stapling them in place.

As far as availability of the commercial climbers, they're easy to find the
the States, in chain stores like Petsmart & Petco, in local pet stores,
online, and at pet shows.  They can be quite expensive.
