My 8m tall mega tree in testing phase

[Dave H]

here are some daytime pics of the setup

for some reason, I can't center the picture to see the whole tree. Nevertheless, the other pics and video are great.

Can you provide more info on your star

I see you mention using clothes line and attach the strings to those. Do you have a picture of the ends you created?

I am about to do the same using a round trampoline as a base ( without the mat ) it already has holes spaced around it complete with springs and D rings . I have a printout of the mega tree created by www.magicchristmas.org where he used packing straps compared to your clothes line. Are the end connections done similar ?


Thank you

Hi Alan,
I don't have a pic off hand but I used zip ties looped through I bolts used at the base of the tree. This way I could adjust length easily. The PVC coating around the wire helps the zip tie grip so they don't done undone.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards
Brady.
