Bravo.. that is a beautiful tree! Nicely done. Great editing also on this video.

[@slamshed]

This is great, we also live on acres and I'm planning on a much bigger tree next year so it's easily seen from the nearby road (about 200 yards away). Thanks for making the video.

[@TheSoundmanPete]

A lot of work. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

[@christopherkelly4182]

Wow what a beautiful tree

[@mikeyandalyssab4782]

Awesome! Thanks for the video share!!!!

[@samuland]

Did I see gumby and a banana go by?

[@hd2kill]

Very Cool

[@mcb0b1]

I’m doing a similar size tree this year. 32 strand/1” spacing about 23’ tall with star. How many holes (if any) did you leave between last pixel at the top and your j hooks at the topper?

[@BobbySullivan]

Dont know how you made that look so easy going in the hole. This thing was so dang heavy. Next time I will use 5 guys!!!

[@FairyPixelDust]

Yes it is tricky.

[@charlesjenkinsjr.9769]

Very well proportioned tree! What ratio did you use for top to bottom? If possible can you tell me the height of tree without star and radius one bottom. I’ve heard that it should be half of what the height is to look proportionate.

[@FairyPixelDust]

20' high and 10' diameter base.

[@08Budweiser]

Did you find the 18" of receiver enough, I thought about going deeper. My EMT pole replacing is 36"+ deep. So all the weight is held by the cable only? What dia. cable did you use on the wench? Any resistance going up and down?

[@FairyPixelDust]

18” receiver was plenty. This was in WI that ground turns frozen solid very quickly. I now live in Florida, and I still think it’s plenty, it’s just enough to pin it to the ground. The Guy wires do all the work. I used 1/8” stainless Cable. Withstood 50+ MPH winds all season.

[@dailyDIYdude]

this is a perfect design. I did notice at the end the stings seemed pretty loose. Did you come up with a solution to make them tighter on the base? Great video

[@FairyPixelDust]

I used more ratching straps to secure it to the ground more, and bungee balls to keep the strips tight, it worked great all season long.

[@dailyDIYdude]

@@FairyPixelDust thank you for the reply

[@snlahaus666]

Curious, what the total cost of you tree was?

[@seanklein]

Looks great! What gauge of steel did you use for your pole?

[@FairyPixelDust]

.125 wall on this tube

[@jmansour84]

Did you bend the EMT base yourself? If so, how? I'm trying to get a nice, stable, rigid ring for my base and I am having trouble bending my EMT to a nice round curve like yours appears to be.

Thanks for the video, it is very helpful. I am finishing up my megatree and looking for advice on guy wire size. What size are your guy wires?

[@FairyPixelDust]

I used this HarborCraft 1/8" 316 Stainless... www.amazon.com/dp/B07S6L7FT5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

[@jeffnjenniferauvenshine3132]

@@FairyPixelDust thanks for your response. What distance did you set your guy wires from the pole? I'm about ready to put mine up.

[@FairyPixelDust]

@@jeffnjenniferauvenshine3132 I set them at about 1.5x the height of the pole. Mine was 20’ high, so guy wires were 30’ long.

[@berencam]

How many pixels did you run per strand? 16 channels?

[@BobbySullivan]

Now it is time to take this 2x2 out of the ground. How did you do it?

[@BobbySullivan]

What guage guy wires did you use and how long are they from the top?

[@FairyPixelDust]

1/8 stainless steel. 1.5x the length of the main pole

[@mrcreedslights]

Where are you going to store the 24' pole in the off season?

[@FairyPixelDust]

It fits perfectly in my garage.

[@reehanferro8465]

Is Madison WI? I live here I want to see it this 2021. I would like to know where is located. 🤗😀😀

[@FairyPixelDust]

We recently moved to FL, so my show is no longer in Madison. However I have a friend that lives in Verona with a very similar tree. Stop by 729 Fairview Terrace to see his show.

[@reehanferro8465]

@@FairyPixelDust Thank You. I will go to see it this year. 😀😀

[@arthurjock4179]

Hi, what is the diameter of that tree topper please?

[@FairyPixelDust]

I used the Mattos 64 topper. It’s 18” in diameter

what did you make your base from? PVC?

[@FairyPixelDust]

Full video of that here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKuYlISsYrCYh5o

[@frankieto-ong1855]

You just have 4 inch pvc buried in the ground - then place the metal holding piece in it? no cement used?

[@FairyPixelDust]

No Cement, In Wisconsin, the Ground is Frozen solid within a few weeks of setting it up.

what is the name of the song

Anchor should be at the same angle as the guy wires so they don't bend.
