ericg2000 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm making sone arches and I was curious how many strands people wrap around they're pvc pipe. I'm using the sleeve method to make them. I've built one and used five 100 bulb mini light strings, one per sleeve. This is a trial arch. Ultimately I will use LEDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeA Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 In my small arches I have 300 lights per sections that are about 2' long. In my mega arch that is 12' tall and 16 sections I only use 200 lights per 4' section and it seems to be plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year I'm taking them and standing them on end at the corners of the house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericg2000 Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 I picked up a box of 120 led mini lights but it ended up being two strings of 60. I just wrapped a sleeve up with a 60 light strand and compared it to my others and it looks ok. I think ill get more and use this method and amount this season. And then grab all I can at the after christmas clearance sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
