bhunt240 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 I know everyone is going to say research and search tool but I looked around here and it seemed that most were using 34' 100ct strands on 20' and less trees but I used a Mega Tree Calculator and I put in a 30' center pole height15' base diameterAnd it said I needed 31' string length that just doesn't seem right to me so thats why im asking And opinions from anyone with a 30' tree on base sizes and string length and if I dont use a radio tower what is the other materials you use for your center poles?ThanksBlake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Batzdorf Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Thats what I came up with. Google any triangle calculator and play with the values.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santas Helper Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Go with the calculator. It's right. I have a 30' mega tree using Rohn25 tower. My diameter at the base is 18' I'm using 33' strands from CDI and still have over a foot of lights leftover at the bottom. For that height, I would go with a tower if you have windy, snowy, icey or severe weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
