How-To: MEGA CHRISTMAS TREE TUTORIAL - 25ft Tall!

[@LordHog]

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

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Great idea!

[@priceless1284]

Holy crap! A trampoline ring? I went to the comments first lol. I gotta watch how you build this!

[@priceless1284]

Brilliant using a trampoline ring!

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. 🙌

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I definitely didn’t want it to be short and dumpy! Glad you love it!

Looks great! I did this one year, but just used tent stakes and bungee cords to secure the bottom of the light strings to the ground. Similar result, but then you can skip the PVC ring. 🎄

You have developed a lot of technique that really makes a big difference. As simple to do as this may seem, without your intelligent instruction we all end up in a tangled ball of lights. Thank you, Issac, and Merry Christmas.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Appreciate the kind words

[@benjaminnnkt]

You have the patience of a Saint Isaac, I struggle unravelling one string of Chrissy lights for my tree I can't imagine using 20 haha. They look so gorgeous.

[@olly7630]

💯 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.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

It was definitely a labor of love!

[@tro8191]

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.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

So happy you like my videos ! Mini mega trees are awesome! I’m glad you’re almost done with your giant wreath! Please share pics of it through my Facebook (Isaac Alexander DIY) so I can see it

This is such a simple, dramatic idea! I did a smaller version (8' tall) and hung it from a high tree branch. I'm surprised you didn't tie or tape the light string plugs to each other, so that they don't pull apart from weight?

[@timetraveltravez8803]

that's awesome!

[@LordHog]

Good job. I have a mega tree with 32 strands having 85 pixels per. The height is about 18 feet including the star. I only took out a handful of Xmas decor so far and no controllers set up yet. The most important part of the mega tree is using guy wires!!

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thank you so much for the support ! Always appreciate it! I’ve always wanted to do a controlled pixel light show

[@nohandle227]

Great job!!! I was going to request how you can build a 8-9 foot waterproof Krampus (kind of on the order the way you built your Bigfoot) but worried some people might get triggered by it.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Unfortunately it’s not something I have in my plans

[@tylerhair9067]

Easiest way to make a base ring is to use grey electrical pvc conduit that has the coupler built in on one side. Simply connect 2-3 of these together to make your desired ring size.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Thanks for this awesome tip

[@diannesammut3103]

They look great. We get strong winds some days so I think they would have trouble surviving.

I definitely wouldn’t recommend this for strong windy areas

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Just incredible!!! I have to ask does your brain ever stop working or is it constantly thinking of these ideas? These are so pretty and amazing:) Tfs and God bless:)

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I think at some point my brain freezes, and I start to panic thinking what am I going to create haha but I always seem to come out with ideas or re-create old ones. I’m so happy that you like this one.

[@GilbertGuajardo-lg9vy]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

@@hollydaines743 indeed. The lights add stability

[@ChrisCummings-t4o]

I love your flagpole Christmas tree! One question though. Where do you store this after Christmas? Do you dismantle whole thing?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

Everything breaks down into small pieces. The flagpole comes in five separate pieces and the lights. You just roll up and put away in a box.

[@bomdus]

Use a T post… Super easy…😊

[@olivierbarbeau831]

Are you not worry about the whole thing moving during very big wind ?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

We don’t get very windy storms here, so it’s not been a problem for the last 3 years. That being said, if wind is an issue you might want to put guy wires to support the base

[@WilmerFarleigh]

Love the video. Do you have a link for the LED lights used by chance?

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

The link wouldn’t be active because they aren’t being sold right now until later in the year, but I included a closeup look at the box and the store so that viewers can know which ones I used

[@mtnestr9850]

How did you attach the star at the top?

[@seanb2491]

Don’t use pvc cement on the bottom ring for storing purpose use duck tape

[@IsaacAlexanderDIY]

I tried that first and it broke. I think maybe I needed to use more duct tape. Definitely would be easier to store that way

[@seanb2491]

@@IsaacAlexanderDIY yeah just use a lot more well worth the effort or storing thanks for idea btw

[@Sigmund1924]

Thanks guys. Was wondering where I’d store that huge base.

[@dianeladico1769]

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]

​@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......
