For the ring of my mega tree I used the ring from a trampoline. Works pretty well and a nice clean circle

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 6 месяцев назад

I’ve been hoping for an Isaac Alexander DIY mega Christmas tree tutorial for 2 years now! Thanks for delivering, man! 🎄 I so love how your mega tree is tall and slim rather than short and too dumpy like almost every other one I’ve seen. Not surprised yours would be total perfection! It’s just beautiful and completely heightens my Christmas spirit! 🤩 The flag pole topper you used seems so much more effective, allowing you to loop and evenly space more strands of lights, than other products on the market. As always, thanks for your detailed instructions! I haven’t been able to find any other video like this. 🙌

@olly7630 6 месяцев назад

💯 agree, I bought a 1200 pack of fairy lights, and it was a nightmare to untangle them. Took me about 2 hours. You would think brand new lights wouldn't be so tangled. One of the many reasons every set of my Christmas lights get wrapped in to multiple small bundles at the end of every year because I don't have the patience to untangle them.

Bro your stuff is awesome! I’m almost done with my giant wreath! A few years back I did a “Mini-Mega”. Because I can’t cement anything into the grass (renter) I found someone getting rid of an old tether ball pole that had a cemented-tire base about 15 feet tall. Same concept but when taking it down I tie the light stings to the pole, wrap in a tarp and store it that way. Seems to work.

@riverphilip3486 6 месяцев назад

@GilbertGuajardo-lg9vy 6 месяцев назад

Maybe I missed it, but as you add the lights and are attaching to the topper…how do you ensure you have enough vertical length of light before looping it back again over the next rung on the topper? I ask given that everything is being connected as one continuous strand and you aren’t raising it or attaching to the base until the end.

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 6 месяцев назад

You have to use Christmas lights with 100 lights per strand which will measure in length between 22 to 28 feet long (depending on the brand). So you don’t need to ensure that you have enough length because each strand should be long enough for a 25ft flag pole

@dmaxrobful 6 месяцев назад

flag poles typically are a fairly thin gauge of metal and many times fail under wind loads when the added weight of lights is added

@IsaacAlexanderDIY 6 месяцев назад

I agree, though I’ve never had an issue using this method, there have been times that I worry about it during a very bad storm

@hollydaines743 6 месяцев назад

I bet the extra weight of the lights and that they are strung 360 around the pole that the lights add stability to the tree.

@dianeladico1769 6 месяцев назад

PEX is more flexible so it can be coiled up at the end of the season. Buy the whole coil (it's inexpensive) so you only need one connection for the whole bottom ring. You could play with the fittings to make the circle then disassemble. I think last year he used PVC tees and short lengths to make feet for the ring? They just slide over the PEX. Zip tie to short rebar in the ground or put the rebar inside the circle and use tension to hold it (angle rebar outward or use sturdy stakes. Lots of options.

@AFrogNamedPoo 6 месяцев назад

@dianeladico1769 Pex is definitely the way to go if you choose to do a base. I just use tent pegs to hold my lights directly to the ground. Really no need for a base. Although it does eliminate the need to measure every tent stake individually......
