George Simmons Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 My choice for poles is nine channels. Enough for some nice effects without getting ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irene Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I am going to try 8 poles 8 sections high. then I can do 12 days of Christmas by reliant K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) This year, I'm trying two poles, 8 foot, 7 sections each and a star, therefore 8 channels each...but, I'm also adding a single string of smart pixels to each. This way, I hope, I'll get two fixtures out of each instead of one. Edited August 7, 2014 by dgrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I like mine at 5 vertical channels per 8' stick and 3 star channels on top. That way I can do 2 sticks and stars with one controller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty-Laser Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I converted my arches to sticks last year, now I can't imagine my show without them. I can see maybe next year replacing the LEDs with ribbons or more likely Pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Simmons Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 ... now I can't imagine my show without them. I made poles for my first show in 2008. I can't imagine being without them either. A great item for getting some vertical eye movement from viewers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackchecker Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I'm going to re-allocate my old sleeve archs to poles this year. Looking forward to a new feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Batzdorf Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 What is the average diameter of the poles for the fire sticks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I don't think there is an average, mine are 3" pipe and eight feet tall with eight one foot sections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilmoney Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I just built mine out of 2x4 and made bases using 2x10 and 3/4" plywood. I have some heavy flower pots so I just ratchet strapped the bases to them. One set consists of 8 red and 8 green channels, the other is one solid channel of red, one of white and I mounted 4 10w floods on each. I love the way the poles with the floods turned out and am defiantely making more for next year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aegault Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 I thought about poles- but went with mega arches- 10' wide and 7' tall with 7 channels each. They looked completely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbass101 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I have four pixel arches. 42 pixels each. I had two fire sticks that only had 3 channels each and they looked really cool for the first few years. plaining to replace them with RBG this year. Just need to decide between 8 dumb sections or pixels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
