Looks awesome! I lost my girlfriend to cancer last year, so it's been very hard to get in the Christmas sprit. But I do still have her Grandson in my life (Thank God) and he said Papa Rick if you would put up a Christmas tree this year I think it would make you happy! So since he's coming over to stay the weekend with me, this is what we are going to do, put up a tree just like the one you did here! I can't wait! I don't know what I would do without him. I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas! Papa Rick

Merry Christmas 2023 Papa Rick! May you still be strong and happy!

I love diy easy and inexpensive!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!

Wow that was a great showing of a Christmas being put up. The best part is like you said is i can make as many as I want and change the size fore each tree. Thank you so very much. I have been on here for a few days trying to find an easy one to do.

Definitely want to make a self standing one for indoors. Good information to start the process. Thanks!!

I have seen hula hoops on the bottom to wrap wires around. They used landscape pins on the hula hoop. Thanks for you video!

That looks so easy! Thanks for the tutorial

Thanks for this. I'm definitely going to do this. Beautiful and simple. 🇮🇪❤️🍀

Thank you for this video. Looks great.

great video. simple but awesome. thank you for the idea.

Thank you! Love this idea and can't wait to try it 😀

Nice! Wasn’t sure what I was going to do with a planter I have and looked at spiral pre lit trees. This is a great and simple idea at about a third of the cost.

Very helpful video. I'm going to try with outdoor strip lights.

super easy and very effective. Thanks

Great job, bro. I was getting ready to do this exact thing tomorrow. The landscape pins are going to be a life-saver. I've been using camping stakes and these are much cheaper! Thanks for sharing.

This is just what we needed. I'm going with smaller lights and the hula hoop ideas. Any suggestions on how to estimate how many feet of lights to get, depending on how long your pole is?

Good Video. I think I can do this wish me luck.

Can you make a diy tree topper for this tree? The tree turned out great. This is a great video. I think my tree needs a tree topper. Let me know. Thank you.

Hi I've been looking how to put a tree in my front garden and this is perfect, I have poles and everything for it from a pulled down carport some gave me I used tent pegs for the ground . It looks great U out coloured lights also with the white lights all solar God bless merry Christmas from Australia 🌲🐨🦘🇭🇲

When you put the pipe in the ground how high was the pipe and how many strands of lights did you have to use to complete this project

Great idea but I would use smaller lights as IMO it would make it look a but cleaner

Interesting idea. Thanks for the feedback!

How many light sets

👍👍👍

Specifically, what kind of pipe are you actually using?

What a great idea, but a couple of constructive suggestions. 1) Try using threaded hooks or open eye bolts at the top instead, especially if you suspect that winds could dislodge the wires. 2) I almost cringed when I saw you were using straight wire staples pushed hard into the ground instead of insulated wire staples. Again, great idea and thanks for doing the hard part of coming up with a wonderful new take on a Christmas tree!

Landscape pins are intended for holding down weed barrier fabric, etc, so they're much longer, wider, blunter and thicker gauge than wire staples. One would have to be extremely careless/unlucky if the lighting wire was damaged while the pins were being pushed into the ground. If wear & tear on the light wire is the concern, there's nothing to stop someone going to the bother of wrapping electrical tape around the pins' bare wire.

Hey man could you please do a durability test with it cause I'm worried when I bye one it will fall in the wind

I have had mine in the ground about two weeks now and we have had some strong windy days, it hasn’t moved. The important thing is making sure it’s far enough in the ground. If it is, it’s not going fall and while it’s not much, the lights are adding some support as well.

How did you get the pipe to stay in the ground?

@HowToHomeDIY

Жыл бұрын

Just ran it into the ground about a foot and the lights all around help stabilize it. It stayed the 2 months we had it up and while it wasn’t hard to take it out of the ground, it didn’t just come right out.

Would PVC work in a windy area? I was thinking of pounding a piece of rebar into the ground and slipping the pvd over it. I want smaller treen, 3-5ft max.

@HowToHomeDIY

2 жыл бұрын

With the rebar underneath the pvc I think that would work well as long as the soil isn’t too sandy. May have to put it in the ground a ways depending on that. Good idea!

@@HowToHomeDIY I use rebar for my other plywood decorations I made. This seemed much easier. Our ground is rock hard with lots of rocks, so I just have to pick a good spot to pound in the rebar. Was going to go through a planted plant, then steak with the staples onto the artificial turf. : )
