[QUOTE="scamper, post: 127675, member: 22285"] Yep as has already been said. Strip is only really good for rigid mount, and even then you should give enough movement for expansion and contraction hence the reason a lot of people will put strip in channel so there is no tension on it. In saying that I have seen someone did a 2d tree using aluminium and attaching strip to that. You could split the difference with the height and go say 4.5m I can see 6m being a problem unless you engineer it properly as you have a lot of wind loading on something that size, also getting it up and down can present problems as there is a lot of weight in it. However 3m is probably a little small you could nearly fit that in your lounge room. :coffee: You could always agree with the wife and tell her you will do a smaller one, then accidently stuff the measurements make it a bit bigger and say it was all to do with the available materials xD However you go, if you end up getting the clap you will most likely use the first tree as a test run and build one bigger and better the following year anyway!

The title of our introductory lighting manual contains a three digit number. What is that number? Clue: Display basics forum
