It would be nice to streamline the cutting measurements and builds. Just painting the five rubber trash cans you could buy at home Depot, finding a boxed crate already built, stenciling the letters/numbers with a darker green paint, painting and using pool noodles from the dollar tree as the extension cord, for the bulbs... Just spray paint some oversized beach inflatable balls. Glue them down. (To keep the trash cans from moving, put bricks or gravel into the trash cans from wind)

Do you think adding a clear plastic sheet on bottom would help reflect light or take away from the lake?

Crook! These are the same Home Depot ones just slightly modified.

How much did it cost to build ?

Great instructions! Looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

These are amazing but wouldn't a garbage can be an easier base?

How to do connect the lights?

I've watched a couple of your videos and overall I would say - these tutorials are not for the general population or average person's home. This build construction is way over the top in terms of structure, materials, and sturdiness. It would be more relevant for a permanent installation (i.e. amusement park or a holiday village at the mall, etc). The average person could build similar items will way less cost, cheaper materials, and simple tools. And another thing to consider - where would these be stored after Christmas? You can't really disassemble them easily. And even if you could, you would need a huge shed or storage facility to keep this stuff in the rest of the year. Not very practical. But thanks for the video.

This would cost a FORTUNE to make - easily over a thousand dollars. That styrofoam block alone costs several hundred dollars. The average person also doesn't have the tools that would be needed for this. Thanks for the cool video - but I think most people could achieve something similar with much cheaper materials and easier build methods.

Amazing

We built this for our house last year. Love it!

Those things will last forever. But l have the same problem that someone else mentioned. Where to store them.

Aren't you supposed to protect the connection with a box to protect against water???? Please reply

Man, this was incredibly informative. Thank you sir.

Haw would I come up with the styrofoam block that big

How does this hold up in wind? I have a very similar concept in 3/4" pvc, with 4' between sections, 2 X 10' vertical sections to make each arch, plus a 2' section to raise it up enough to drive under. I found in suburban Denver, winds over 20mph were common, and really stressed the arch, even though I am using 3/4" versus 1/2". I had to tie it down to the ground using stakes and rope. Having your verticals over rebar should definitely help. We also ended up duct taping (with white tape) each joint or they would come loose and/or break. And even with all of that, we had to use large trash cans leaned up against the side against the prevailing wind to keep it from coming apart.

what an excellent job!

how much for white bulbs with NO electrical? I have govee lights I could use in those

Please come to Delaware 😂 and make my trees as beautiful as yours are ❤

What size rebar did u use

If you had to explain knowing how to notax your amps out to a 5 yr old, what would you say? What is the simple math to know how much one outlet can carry?

I love these, but would love a video of how you store them lol

damn bro did a whole math equation lol....just tell how many lights were used.

How much for a set and delivery?

This worked like a charm. Thank you for this video!

Can I run this SPT1 wire over 350ft with 7 female inline connections to power Christmas LED lights or will there be significant voltage drop?

I've struggled with lights slumping or sagging, so I've had to use staples. Better ideas, or what am I doing wrong?

Hope this isn’t a dumb question but if I cut all these dimensions in half will it still work?

What lights are those that faded up from bottom?

Exellent😊

Fantastic !

Thank you. Really well done.

Very cool, but I bet they're heavy and would've liked to see them built so they could light up instead of using Styrofoam. I'm also betting the Styrofoam is probably pretty easily damaged.

Great job. Question: what about rain, snow, standing water on the top of the gift box?

I would like to see frame work and list of material for round one

That's killer! I wasn't expecting it to be made out of plywood.

HOW does this actually work though,what is going on inside the plugs?

This looks awesome! About how much did this cost you from start to finish? I'm looking to add to our community light display.

These designs are insane no normal person could make these

Amazing look. How expensive is the electric bill?

Best tutorial I've seen online. I'm going to build an archway this year for my 4 year old granddaughter. She will get a kick out of it when they make there way here to central Texas. She has a blast w/ all my other decorations but had a blast for over an hour playing in an archway at a walk of lights last year. Have a Merry Christmas 2024 🎄 🎅 🦌

This is great and all but who needs to spend all that money on the gift box I mean four sheets of plywood that's like 80 bucks as it is you're talking about 100 bucks just to make one box that's insane plus if you don't have a pickup truck to get this stuff home or the tools you're screwed

How do you not step on the lights when putting up or taking down ?

Turned out great!! I may make some myself!!

Couldn’t you use icicle lights in the boughs to look like foliage (weeping willow-ish)?

I dint understand the extra wire left over to wrap , how would you move to other branch from there ? I have ordered 110feet

how do the magents hold up with rain?

Job well done ✅

You need to be working on a movie set dude! You are amazing. Nice detail on your instructions. This one is beyond my capabilities lol!

Wow good job!!!!!
