For the past few years, I have used my tree pruner to lift my lights. The pole is heavy, and I had to watch the saw-teeth. Thanks to your tips, I used an old painting extender pole with a duct-taped screwdriver, and it worked perfectly. Less stress, better placement, and more efficient. Thank you!

Another good idea is using the led curtain lights it has multiple long strands connected to one main line , each of the long strands can be wrapped around each branch. To eliminate using multiple strands of lights it works perfectly ☺️

Great video. But why do you run the extension cords up the tree? yes to troubleshoot light problems along the way, but do you just yonk it down at the end once finished?
@waltsreviews903 жыл бұрын
The reason we do that is two fold. 1) Its faster and easier to go from the top down when installing and I value labor time more than the material cost. 2) When you install lights in tall tree's they often get tangled and stuck if you have two ends of a line (the extension cord and the light end) it less likely to get stuck. The anchor at the top of the tree is the hardest to get off, but if you grab both ends and walk back far enough and pull it usually will come off.
@2conn3 жыл бұрын
@@waltsreviews90 So for removal of the lights, you start from the bottom of the string, & ball them up as you work your way UP the tree (or vise versa)? My initial question was actually regarding the extension cord you use to run up the tree to keep the lights 'on' while installing. Many other videos say to start with a female end at the top of the tree but I know how annoying store-bought lights can be with a string just not working mid-job. Do you just yonk the power cord down when finished? Or do you keep this power cord dangling there like shown in your video? This seems like a dang long cord & cost and a fairly ugly way to power the tree.

Sorry can you answer this one?
@waltsreviews903 жыл бұрын
@@2conn The power cords stays there and is on the inside of the looping. We remove starting at the bottom and work our way up. The biggest reason we do it this way is it is a lot faster and easier to install from the top down. There are some added benefits like easy storage (during take down your wrapping a big ball with the male on the out side), and less likely to get lights stuck in the tree.

Also, where can I get a 30' fiberglass pole? Ive tried a few paint shops but no luck for that length. Amazon only has aluminum poles.
@waltsreviews903 жыл бұрын
Check out Mr Long Arm Extension Pole on Amazon or Lowes. They might only go to 23 ft., but beyond that gets really difficult to control. Reason for that is when you flinch the base of a 23 ft pole, the movement amplifies and the end of pole really wobbles.
