How to Install Christmas Lights on Tree's

[@gail5553]

I knew most of these tips except the extension cord starting at the top of the tree. The small wrap tree was helpful, thank you.

[@WillLeingang]

This is just phenomenal. I feel like I just watched a franchise training video!

[@joselatorre1575]

Finally a video that explains it well! Thank you so much!!!!

[@waltsreviews90]

You are very welcome!

[@johnnymac7261]

thanks for taking the time to make this video. it's perfect for DYI persons like me.

[@Veritas3553]

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!

[@mikec64]

This was really helpful. This will be our first year to decorate our outside tree and this is the most useful tutorial I've found. Thank you!

[@colinmckinlay5479]

Best video on putting light on a tree well explained and filmed

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad to help!

[@christinachef]

Well done. Thank you!!!! Some day I will be able to pay to have it professionally done, but for now these are great tips for me to do it and be proud of my lights.

[@waltsreviews90]

You're very welcome! Best of luck getting the lights up, and have fun!

[@danilo352]

I love the tip on wrapping around the branches. I always wondered how to do that and did a whole bunch of cumbersome zip tying. This year will be much easier! Thank you.

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad it was helpful! Hope you enjoy the lights!

[@diegoa923]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[@waltsreviews90]

No problem!

[@markpalcko9753]

Awesome, thanks for explaining. The X shape on the stick was a excellent idea that worked well for me.

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad to help!

[@instaglam7508]

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 ☺️

[@waltsreviews90]

Those do look really cool! I just don't like how easy they tangle up...

[@MrJordanMcCourt]

what do you do with the extension chord after the lights are around the tree?

[@kelltrad6127]

I don’t know if this is real. I didn’t hear any swearing at all

[@massagebuzz7517]

😂

[@eirtae1]

Right? I know my install attempt was not PG13

[@itz_viv29]

Great tips!!!! Thank you

[@waltsreviews90]

You're welcome!

NMN experiment: Just letting you know I'm on the edge on my seat to see what you got on that. I know it's 5 day's from now but knowledge is my favorite present. And this feel like an early Christmas.

[@waltsreviews90]

I am excited too, taking the age test in 2 days, Hopefully they give results quickly.

[@2conn]

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?

[@waltsreviews90]

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.

[@2conn]

@@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.

[@2conn]

Sorry can you answer this one?

[@waltsreviews90]

@@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.

[@stryngh]

Great tips!

[@waltsreviews90]

Glad it was helpful!

[@XteriorCleaningService]

how many strands of mini for the tallest tree? Thanks

[@train4905]

Awsome😊😊

[@2conn]

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.

[@waltsreviews90]

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.

[@2conn]

@@waltsreviews90 thank you

[@levidixon2467]

Can you tell me how much each on of these would cost ?? Like to have it professionally done how much for these

[@Crumpman]

How long is each strand of minis? Sorry if you said and I missed it. Also, how many strands did it take to do the first tree in the demo?

[@dolliedoty8907]

Looks better if u wrap the branches

[@waltsreviews90]

Sure does, just takes a lot more time 😊

[@thetimelapsechannel6437]

How many strands did that take

[@JpOcDenver]

Why is there an apostrophe on trees?

[@jhopkins213]

Because he's stupid and doesn't know how "apostrophe's" work!

[@dgoins6]

Red Shirt? Don't beam down to the planet with Kirk.

[@waltsreviews90]

Lol, aren't red shirts the safest? Lucky if they get invited on an away mission!!

[@whiteknightcat]

Install Christmas lights on tree's whats?

[@graphguy]

getting them up is not the hard part......... it is getting them down without tearing the tree down.

[@acmecompany]

Forget this

[@StevenTheSinner]

Show a tree that people actually light up. Big crooked half dead odd shaped Not leafless and simple shaped.

[@Lilman3000]

you have to add in anyone under 24. because they work 2x as slow

[@Del_Monico]

You actually used an apostrophe for trees. Wow. Dolt.
