pixels vs nodes for a mega tree

Just wait until you get the weight of all the lights on it.  Then watch out.  Looks good so far.

that's the one thing that makes me wonder about using pvc versus emt. the pvc is SOOOO much easier to drill and work with though!

But the pvc is only carrying one string of lights.  It is the center pole that needs to be stronger, i.e., metal in my opinion.

Thanks all for the comments.

(1) each of the 24 pairs of vertical conduits (15' +) is carrying the weight of (1) 128 node smart string ... not that much.

(2) the pole is a thicker steel, much stronger than anything I've used in the past ... in fact my Dad drove into Denver to buy a single piece that was extra strong ... think it was a 20' pole to start with, cut it down.

Can we borrow your dad?  We all need help like he gives.
