TonyD Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Home Depot has a 3-pack (6ft, 9ft, and 15ft in the same package) for $3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncledan Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Zipcord is great if you aren't familiar with it. Cut to length extension cords. Christmaslightshow.com is where I get mine usually. I picked up 2,000 ft of it today at local home depot(more expensive but convenient) The spt2 18ga is rated at 10 amps I believe. I have several miles of this in my display. Works great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
portcity_gt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 When i first started gathering parts i did the math and it was better to just buy regular three pin cords from the store. BUT with spt1 on sale its better to make your cords, you can build a 25' cord for $3.50.Spt1 is $109 per 1000' roll at hitechlights And vampire ends are $50 per 100 at home depot .

portcity_gt Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Edit: the cord has gone up to $125 Since i bought mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liberty-Laser Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Menard's always has Green/White/Brown 6' cords for $.88 between Halloween & Thanksgiving. Get there early. These have been perfect length for my Mega. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arw01 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Depends on length and amperage you need to carry. Putting out SPT1 for a few weeks a year and it will last a long time if stored nicely. Personally I bought SPT2 because it's a bit thicker in insulation and more intended for exposure. However, anytime I find a good deal on an extension cord (like the $9,99 walmart ones) I snag it and put it in the stash. Reminds me I need to run one from the back porch outlets up the soffits and around front so I have another source for 15 amps if I need it..

Mega Arch Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Better be at least 14awg going that far for 15amps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett H. Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/wec.shtml I use these. So much nicer without the cords everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
