on the ones I've thrown out, they were just made of wood beams (the square uprights) and all the rest was paperboard tube. They were mainly held together by long staples and hot glue.

Also--in my experience it's easier to just buy a new one every year and toss the old one out.
The cat(s) won't sit on it anymore if it has their fur matted well into it, and you can try to vacuum it regularly but after a while you can't get the matted fur out.
Because of how they're built (staples and hot glue) there's no easy way to dissemble them non-destructively to cover them with new carpet.

They're good to have because cats instinctively like to climb... If they have one or two tall things they're ALLOWED to climb, they will usually stay off everything else (like the drapes).

It's just part of the budget of owning a pet.
Dogs tear stuff up (no way around that) and cats need a cat tower (to keep them from tearing other things up,,,).
Keeping pets costs money.

The staples weren't normal staple-gun staples--the width of the staples was maybe a half-inch, but the legs of the staples were really long--like 1.5 inches.

They just drive a few staples in at an angle to hold the thing, and then hot-glue it.

Just use some steel brackets, will hold up even on the fattest felines

Glue, like other anon said small staples will hold it in place. Don't put staples where where cats can get there claws, don't put glue seams where cats might chew.

I figure you could just sink a couple wood screws at an angle at each attachment point, then cover it all with carpet.
