These are Mini Trees that I made for my dispay.They are made out of childrens hula hoops and grey sch 40 electrical conduet from home depo.These items are bound together using plastic zip ties
A better way is this, take a top and fill it up with hot water turn your house boiler to full for this, fill it up, take piece's of PVC and throw then in the hot water, with the pieces long enough to make a half circle when laid over a bucket. After around 20 minutes they will get soft, take them out with heat resistant gloved and lay them over an side of a bucket, then hose it off with cool water, then you can glue them together with couplers. Very sturdy.
I have a twenty foot tall mega tree and a few little trees and they are made with tomato cages and they look much better because the lights look best running horizontal instead of vertical because you always have that prism or sided figure/shape
Yes , I have seen Tomato cages used in many displays.Metal and electricity not such good friends , however plastic and electricity not so bad. I guess I dont mind the extra work so much lol
@dslynx You are they were alot of work.I know that there are easier ways to do this , however I did not think I could come up with a stackable version to save storage space.
Thank you, great job! Very helpful! Thumbs up!
Thanks so much for the kind words and the view
Cute idea!!!!

@dslynx I can go 10 high without issue , I like your shopping bag idea to avoid light tangles
you can also use the tomato cages they work and stack just as easy and its a lot less work
@hd2kill Mine stack 4 high without issues, I just put a plastic shopping bag over each to keep the lights from getting tangled.
