jmraider Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Looking for some words of wisdom in building a 8 foot tree in my yard using mini C-3 LED lights. I am planning to use PVC pipe for the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 How about using a 10' 4x4 treated post as your center pole instead of the pvc? Sink it two feet into the ground and you have a center pole that is strong, doesn't need guy wires, and is incredibly easy to hang/attach almost anything you want, and easy to pull out of the ground at the end of the season and store until next year...

JeffF Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I just bang a ground rod in a couple feet, zip tie a 3/4" round 10' long EMT conduit to it and then zip tie lights to the top...They have made it through two years of wind, snow, and ice.
