John (oldandslow) Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 What color do you paint the pole and the outer pvc pipe on a mega tree? The pipe is galvanised fence post. The tree will be 15 feet from the street.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory402 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm going with a dark green, but I'm sure black would look ok too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponddude Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I am building my Z-tree right now and found that hunter green spray paint matchs the branch garland perfect. Actually, Mike Z told me, but I'll take the credit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LENNY RUEL Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Ditto on the colors mentioned so far. Black or Hunter Green, prefer flat or satin. Gloss is way to shiney.Lenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iresq Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 +1 for hunter green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Adams Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I left mine white as I remember a Florida member a couple of years ago stated that painting his pole a dark color made it soften up in the sun and it started to bend slightly so I didn't want to take a chance on it.

jimswinder Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I paint everything a flat black so the lights don't reflect off of anything... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kzaas Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 Mine is aluminum and unpainted, that you don't even notice because there is so much going on and its too dark outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John (oldandslow) Posted October 30, 2010 Author Share Posted October 30, 2010 ;)Thank you all for your help. I went out and bought a can of flat black and hunter green. My wife picked the green stating that you want it to look like a Christmas tree during the day.So green it is for me.Again Thanks for the help.
