Hello, handy anons! I'm thinking of making an exercise wheel for cats, and i'm thinking about something by the likes of the picture.
They claim to have attached the hula hoops and plastic with brackets, but i have no idea how to do that. Any suggestions on how to attach them, or what kind of machine i need to do as they've done? Looks like it was done by a giant stapler but it should require a great deal of force to go through all the plastic.
I'm thinking of making two hula hoops and attach bendable plastic in between (maybe this: http://www.ikea.com/no/no/catalog/products/44881100/) and then placing them on a wheel platform as shown, maybe just a better platform.
I'd greatly appreciate all help, suggestions and ideas i can get from you!

Why would you buy some Ikea cutting board or whatever when you can just buy acrylic?
Also it looks like they just used a staple gun/nail gun. It's thin-ass acrylic sheet. You could just drill holes and zip tie the thing if you wanted.

I'm going to check out acrylic as well but it seems as if it'll be more expensive or i have to buy more than i need etc, i'm going to check it out though. It's been impossible to find anything on the internet, however, since i'm living in norway and apparently it's not usual to buy this in small quantities. If i ant hula hoop tubes, i need to buy like 100 meters, for example, when i only need 8.
I thought a nail gun would just shoot a nail in and that's it? I think i need it to bend around and hug the material like staples do, or?

Use a staple gun, same principle.

I'd just get a free plastic drum and cut a hoop out of it with a reciprocating saw.
