I already had a concrete path where I wanted my tree to go so I just dynabolted half a giant hinge to the concrete and the other half I bolted to the bottom of my 8mtr pole. Makes it easy to stand it up on my own. Once I attach the star on top , I then walk it up to vertical, it then bolts to the house at eave height in two spots 90degress from each other (internal corner of two walls) and then has 3 guy wires that are probably overkill.


Cheers,
Rowan

My base is pair of 4-by-4s (10cm square wood) with a bolt in the center forming an X. ASAP pole around 4.5m high. PVC ring 2.4m diameter well-staked to the ground and the pixel strips also act as guys. We have too much rock in the ground to dig a big enough hole for a concrete base by hand in Texas, USA.
