So my 2D tree was the first RGB/Pixel element in my display, and it's seen its last year last year.
Originally it was built with pixlite lights, and I meticulously drilled holes in rectangular conduit so that each line of 50 lights was dead straight (i.e. the spacing on the inner lines was slightly shorter than the outer lines).
Originally the structure was a flimsy wood A-Frame attached to PVC pipe. Last year it got replace with a steel frame, rough design attached. The lights weren't long for this world though after a few years and they went in the skip, along with the conduit, at the end of the season.
Originally 14x50 lights I want to bump that to at least 16 strings of 50 or 100 lights for added flexibility, but seems a shame to waste the custom steel frame after one season.
Anyone got any good ideas to achieve the same effect (i.e. straight horizontal) ideally retaining the existing shape?
