Nova5 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 3/4"? wow, they look thicker than that. That and 3/4" is really limp.. How'd you manage to stiffen them enough to hold up to the weight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Slonka Jr Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I agree they look thicker than 3/4". Great idea!If I would make them I would go bigger due to the winds here in PA. Last week we had gusts to 60 mph. and with all the work winding the lights I would hate to come home and find the poles broken in half.Nice job on the display!

Nova5 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 PVC won't break easy. but it'll sure flex! 3/4" 20ft sticks can be bent into a U in a pickup truck bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Tuthill Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Bob -- I might recommend you use a video upload service as it will make it much easier for us to view your video's. I switched from YouTube to Vimeo this year and am very happy. They have a free account though I paid for the Plus account. (I have no association with them.)If you have not seen them you can see my videos at: http://vimeo.com/8132620Happy HolidaysScott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova5 Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 works just fine for me, with firefox you just have to install the WMP11 plugin. IE should do it no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobinFL Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Memory is going fast:P, it's 1 inch thick wall pvc pipe and only about 8'-6" long....sorry for the confusion. My bad!The videos are standard wmv files and will open in MS Media Player if you have set it up as the default wmv viewer. Or save the file to your computer and open with your favorite software.
