TJ Hvasta Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Drew, I used eleven inch long 1 1/2" over 1/2" support pipe.. is that what you're thinking of? Or are you thinking of the dryer vent hose over the sleeves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineedmorelights Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 I think this is a great idea, but I am curious as to how well this would hold up in the wind. I would be afraid if one of the brackets snapped the adjacent post, then the entire thing could come down. Also, if each post/panel has about 50 lights on it, that weight is going to add up fast. I do a similar design with my "star" on top of my tree - its the AF symbol - and I do the same "Light-Brite" fashion, and I have had to redo it each year because of the weight (250 lights) and the wind. I hope yours doesn't fall prey to the same fate mine has every year! It is truly a great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
