DougP Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 I use a lot of wireframes in my display. They are easier to store and look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsmith37064 Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 (edited) I would recommend DougP's wireframes. They are top notch. I bought 8 custom ghosts, singing face. and a Santa hat. LOVE THEM!! In fact I am designing my custom Christmas tree for next year. With that being said... i would give his site a look over. I bet you will find something www.wireframedlites.com Edited November 6, 2016 by gsmith37064 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Sarge Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 most of my display s wire frames with the exception of mt megs tree ( PVC Frame) and eve lights etc. on the house... 8 mini trees are all wire frame tomato cages, and I have 8 deer, a Santa and sleigh all wire frame,,, exceptions in my yard are my 40 ft or so of (Walmart) candy canes. But I do not have to worry about a lot of snow on the bottoms covering them for a foot or so either.. and here in the High Desert of S. Cali I really do not have to worry much about rain flooding them out. Average rain for the year on a good wet year here is about 10 to 12 inchs for the year..

Ralph D Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I also love wire frames I originally started collecting them when they were in condition and very slowly might I say very slowly I am finding more more problems with companies that sell the specific types of incandesce and bulbs I have you would think you could find them anywhere but I have not had such a great luck of that so I decided every year I'm going to switch two or three over to LED but other than that I love my wire frames they all very soon will need to be re-sanded and repainted but all of them are over five years old some of them in the realm of 10 to 12 years old and and other than having to re-tack them every once in a while with the welding gun have not had any problems some people don't like wire frames in their displays I love mine Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks4legs Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 If you do go with some wireframes, please put the attention into properly lighting them. They look great with some time and attention and look bad (my opionion) when lights are just randomly attached. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
