lstewartff Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 What do you guys use for the pole part of your mega trees and how do you stabilize the pole. I am doing a 13' and made it out of 2-1/2" PVC pipe. But I was thinking of maybe using something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Lane Lights Etown Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I use threaded gas pipe 1-1/4. I cemented a 1-1/2 pvc sleeve in the ground that I cap off season. I use one or two landscape nails to wedge in the pvc sleeve and plumb the pole. 16' total pipe two pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long is the sleeve that you put in the ground? And do you use guy wires? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Lane Lights Etown Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 2 foot in the ground surrounded by concrete. No guy wires. I use yellow plastic tent stakes to connect the 32 strands to the ground from the hook head. Works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
