I want to build a smaller tree within my mega tree which is of pvc construction.Does anyone have an idea as to how to build the light collar/ring that would be attached to the pvc center pole? And question two: I am looking for good quality LEDs, 100 or 50 ct.,in red,green,gold,and or purple. Are there any on-line vendors taht actually have these in stock now?

You might try CDI (Paul Sessel)

I have been getting my LEDs from http://www.environmentalled.com/LED-Christmas-Lights~Categories/

Great customer service and fast shipping


But the OP was asking about 50 or 100 count LEDs, not 70's

Greg was correct to recommend Paul at CDI, as that may be the best option at this time of the year for 50 and 100 count strings.

I have a 14' foot tall radio tower that I want to use for a mega webber tree this year. I am now trying to decide how to anchor the base in my front yard and need to design a collar for the top to string the lights to.

I am thinking that I will have a collar that seats on the top three poles with pullies on top and have three cables that will pull down from the inside of the tower.

If I have a 10 foot base I figure that my overall diameter should be about 28.5 feet for 16 channels.

I am looking for any input or design suggestions for the base as well as the top mounting collar from any of you wizards that have already tried this.
