I have a list of all the materials I used in the description if you want to check those out. You may be able to find some of them cheaper at other stores. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them here!

[@lizethvalenzuela8237]

Thank you, I did it and was really easy, I used a 10 ft pipe and added some more holes to the top and turned out really good 🎄

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Awesome! I bet it looks great!

[@susanpaulson9826]

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

[@burritodog3634]

thank you! all i could find on youtube was how to wrap lights around a tree but this is what i wanted to do.

[@needsmorecowbell1758]

That looks so easy! Thanks for the tutorial

[@keitharnold429]

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.

[@81artmonk]

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

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Interesting idea. Thanks for the feedback!

[@PastorJaeS]

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.

[@HowToHomeDIY]

You are welcome. Yeah the landscape pins are super easy and inexpensive! I hope it went well today! Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[@joannpemberton7516]

[@rtrobinson88321]

Thanks for the idea. I think I will make one of these.

[@miketemplin3366]

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.

I would like to send you one of my toppers to see what you think. It works on 1” 2” pvc as well as telescoping and non telescoping flagpoles.

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.

[@gw504saints]

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

[@sharonrosen7314]

Definitely going to try this. Is the pole pvc pipe?

[@MoSportsUSA]

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!

[@GunnerHillTX]

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.

[@jimcraver6461]

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

[@lorriecarey1]

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?

[@cheryldunn5354]

How many light sets

[@alpnakumar9555]

where did you get the instructional piping?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

One of the big box home improvement stores.

[@ashpasch6004]

Sorry . Hope you're ok. Blessings. 🙏

[@brucenpcola]

Specifically, what kind of pipe are you actually using?

[@mariaeugeniagarciafernande7300]

Lindos pero porfa en español gracias

[@amiedsouder1766]

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

[@HowToHomeDIY]

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.

[@morerandomthanyou9852]

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

[@HowToHomeDIY]

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.

[@morerandomthanyou9852]

@@HowToHomeDIY alright thanks

[@KathysFinancialSmarts]

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]

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!

[@KathysFinancialSmarts]

@@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. : )

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Oh perfect! Have fun with the project!

[@rxlo1015]

👍👍👍

[@Luckycat8]

how many sets of lights per tree?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

This one took 4.

[@loisstone4754]

Tree

[@conniekaiser3827]

Cant do i have ELK in yard all the time they get them all over them self

[@paultaylor9780]

Did you do that with one string of lights ?

[@paultaylor9780]

Meant to say "how many light sets did it take to make that one tree"?

[@HowToHomeDIY]

Hey Paul, I used 4 20 foot strands of lights. I had quite a bit left over on the last one so I just wrapped the bottom of the tree.

[@paultaylor9780]

@@HowToHomeDIY Looks good ! Thanks

You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback.

Be careful you don’t pound that pipe into a sprinkler,phone or electrical line.

I did it with the WoodPrix plans.
