Lineman,

Sorry, not an idea, but a concern. Do you think the long gray pvc lengths will sag in the sun?

You know!

the light from real Fireworks arc out and down so it might be ok if they sag some???  Just a thought

Yep, I thought the same; if the pipes bend a little I think will looks even more real, as long don’t bend too much to be like a palm tree

Last year I made two "fireworks" (also referred to around this house as "spikey balls" and when one of them was in the living room, "The Chandelier")  that included 14 spikes that were, oddly enough, 39" long each out of Carlon 1/2" pvc conduit wrapped arch style with 3 x 50 clear mini-lights each.  The near horizontal spikes do sag a little bit but not enough to worry about.

Wish I'd known about the Bill Dance hub things then, I made my hubs by gluing up SYP into 10" cubes and then turning them into balls via bandsaw and lathe.  This is DIY right?
