I also purchased the 13ft light tree. Were you able to use all the poles that came with the twinkly tree. I wasn’t able to use all the pipes. I had to leave one out.
How do you align all those Twinkly curtains in the right order so they are in sync.? What you took the first to the left and moved it to the right side. Will that not screw up the sync?
Once I added all the sections onto the fence I mapped them all at once via an upstairs window to be able to get the entire length of the fence. A single mapping is all it took and it worked pretty well!
That noisy wind explains why you need the heavier stakes! lol. Thanks for sharing. I'm new to Twinkly and hadn't seen this one. How many lights are on that fence?
Is the power plug that goes into the wall actually waterproof and can it sit there in the open? I have to use an extension power cable from the house to the lights and it connects in the open without rainprotection
It technically is waterproof - I have it sitting out exposed. However I have seen some people place it into an extension cord safety cover to give it some protection from the elements.
Do you live where you get snow? I bought a set for around my roof, and another for a natural tree, but looking for this type for front of my house but I live in Montreal and think bottom would be covered in snow by the time I would have to take it down. Might look to build it 3 feet of the ground (maybe I can get more poles from twinkly..)
Yes, it could potentially snow for me - hadn't really thought of that though! If you wanted to build it "higher " I think the only way you could do so is to add to the end of the straps that come down from the top and add a few more poles into the mix so the bottom row of lights isn't inches from the ground. But even if you were to do that, the straps would still be staked into the ground and under the snow.
I think you could, however you might want to somehow support the pole in the middle a little more - the pole itself seems sturdy, however after the wind blows it around a bit the hole you drive the pole into gets wider and the pole gets wobbly. At that point you're relying on the straps from the top to the stakes in the ground to provide the support so it doesn't tip over.
Looks great. Using the curtains along the fence would be another great option depending upon height. Did you need to do anything different with wifi/router. I've set up about 3000 lights this year and want to add more...but worried about good connection
I had thought of the curtains but they were a little taller than I needed - and would have been way more expensive than I was willing to spend at the time! As for wifi, I already have an outdoor access point so my wireless connection is fine out there. I have a Ubiquiti system with multiple access points including an outdoor one.
In this video I have 2 600 light sets on the fence - I eventually added more to fit the entirety of the fence between the side and the shed. I used another 600 set for the end, needed a 100 light set for the gate (in hindsight I should have just started the 600 light set on the gate but at that point I didn't know I was going to want to do the entire length), and a 250 light set between the gate and the shed. Long story short - 3x 600 lights, 1x 100 lights, 1x 250 light but probably could have omitted the 100 lights if I started out properly.
Yayyyyy finally someone has done a review 😍🎄 putting mine up tomorrow!! Can't wait, awsome video ty so much
Trying to convince the other half we absolutely must get one of these! Thanks for the video looks great!
I added even more lights and it all looks great together! Once you start you won't want to stop! th-cam.com/video/a48mbjTjqJc/w-d-xo.html
I like your backyard shed/fence/patio. “I really like it.” 😂
How do you map outside? I lined the edges of my house, but it's too big to fit in one picture and when I step back too far, I lose wifi.
I discovered these lights last year and I'm already at ( including the 800 that go on my indoor tree ) almost 4000 of them..... And I still want more!
How did you get the string of lights untangled? That my main problem. I’ve been trying to untangle it for nearly four hours
Yes! Thank you for this!!
Thanks 😊 now I’ve to buy one of those tree
I also purchased the 13ft light tree. Were you able to use all the poles that came with the twinkly tree. I wasn’t able to use all the pipes. I had to leave one out.
same here.. just installed mine today. If i used all of them, there was no chance it would stick to the ground..
How do you align all those Twinkly curtains in the right order so they are in sync.?
What you took the first to the left and moved it to the right side.
Will that not screw up the sync?

@@dividedsky319 OK Thank you

Is the pole tree strong enough to add more lights to it? Say a strand or two of 400 RGBWs?

Sure appreciate showing this to is
Can you please tell me which Twinkle lights you used for your fence? Thanks for the video!
In this video I have 2 600 light sets on the fence - I eventually added more to fit the entirety of the fence between the side and the shed. I used another 600 set for the end, needed a 100 light set for the gate (in hindsight I should have just started the 600 light set on the gate but at that point I didn't know I was going to want to do the entire length), and a 250 light set between the gate and the shed.

Great! Thanks for the info
Which one did you get from the fence?
In this video the fence is 2 sets of 600. I've since added another 600 and a 250 (for the other side of a gate)
That’s cool there’s playlist!
What happens when there is a tornado 🌪️?
Ita really beautiful
So… how much was this? I’m sure inflations made it go way up by now but I still wanna know.
I've never seen the tree before. I got a really good deal on the 600 light string at Best Buy, I think $169
Smart home
My wife and I have a debate on where you live. I said Colorado, she said Northern California.
Late comment- this is his daughter. We live in New York!
Awesome but i think they are more expensive than that small home lol
I like twinkly led light but this tree is litelbit expensive.
Why
