My Panel is 7x6 (42 Panels) and is enclosed in a wooden frame. The front has a clear plastic that is siliconed shut. The back has three melamine panels that are sealed shut . I use rubber gasket around the perimeter and then 3 melamine panels press against it and are held in place with 1x2 with...

I use PLA for most of the brackets and connectors I use to attach props of PVC to my fence. I have also used PETG for stuff that is heavy.

Not sure what else you would want to do. You got yourself a "mega" tree right there. proportional strands of pixels in a semi-circle fashion at standard spacing. Model that up in xLights and you are good to go. The only thing else would be to put star toppers on them.

I would greatly appreciate it!!

Those numbers are foreign to me. I am doing a small mega tree, 8 feet high using 1 1/4" EMT threaded pipe with a portable hole that is 6" high and weighs a metric &(!#% ton.
