TheDucks Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Shows look fantastic, but how was it BUILT (as opposed to sequenced) out?? Could we have some daylight, backstage tours of what you did to get it set up (and tips for really tricky stuff) ? I'm thinkin mostly props or other than basic cable (eg jump high traffic paths) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 My website has a lot of photos and descriptions of how I built stuff. A lot of it is a bit out of date, but maybe I can get some new photos this year... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how others do things (specially renters who can't build posts with controllers in them). Ever place offers challenge, Like how do those wit multiple stories get the stuff up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't look down once I work the nerve to get up there. LOL I'm so tense when I'm up there that my back aches the next day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True enough. Most renters can't build brick columns with controllers and put in a quarter mile of conduit under the front lawn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtomason Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 When I was renting, the boxes lived in gray bins that got set on the lawn near the lights they controlled. Not noticeable at night and kept everything tidy and waterproof. Also made for an easy place to coil up and store the extension cords to the box and the power cords leading from it. My Mega Tree (still all LED strands) is still stored this way. As for my current setup, mostly everything is contained on the porch and out of the walkway, save for power cables that are run across the porch in commercial cable floor covers.

I happen to know a House Painter, so that is a real cheap source (and I don't care about a residue inside) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
