Anyone else building a frame for a 12 ribbon CCR tree?

A couple weeks ago I posted in this topic that I had updated by web page to show how I rebuilt my pixel tree for 2014. I also noted that my web server was getting intermittent.  Well, a couple days later it completely died.  As of a few minutes ago, my website is back up (thanks Don), so you can see what I did for 2014.  When I took it down Monday I took some more photos that were requested and will be adding those in the next day or so.  I will also be adding a page on my CCPs in PEX arches.  Lastly, my video guy should have videos to me in the next week or so, so those will also be available soon.

 

The tree page is:   http://newburghlights.org/pixel_tree.html

Delivered: 3/4 X 3/4 X 1/8 21 feet long 15 pieces. And it was only 225.00

 

Also got my ss bolts in, but the ones they sent aren't threaded all the way down, so I will have to reorder them. I also got wing nuts to put this together.

I have my tubing, got my bolts, but I also ordered wing-nuts for the back of the ccr tree. I have also ordered a large star from Brian, had it special made. Bought a plastic tool box that has a seal around the top that will hold 12 CCR controllers and 2 power supplies. Now I just need the weather to get better. Thank you Frank for all the help and picture's. I will post pictures when I get started.

I have started putting my star together that Brain had made for me, It's a 36" star, I hope in a few weeks to start on the 3/4 tube frame, and will post pictures also.

I have noticed that no one has ask what order the star and CCR,s go, So i PMed Frank and this was his reply:

Hi Larry,

Star channel #1 in the center star, 6th on the outside.

CCR channels are counted from left to right as you look at the tree.

Make sure you post pictures of your work, looking forward to see what you have done.

Frank

 

Again, Thank You Frank for all you do on this subject. our are the best.

You are correct, mine will be at the base of the tree.
