Pony_God, just curious about how you did your arches. Are they 32 channels each with alternating green/red? Did you use 100 light strands? I was considering doing something similar, but instead interleaving the white and red strands (i.e. the arch can be white or red or "peppermint"). I was also only going to do 8 channels of each and do two arches. I liked yours though and was just curious how it was accomplished. Also, what size are the mini trees? Thanks!!!

Deep breath.
1. 15 channels
2. (100red/foot + 100white/foot)/channel
3. 3x10' - 1" thick-wall PVC
4. "forks" in the ground, or two feet in sleeves to added stability.
5. metal bracket in the "T" to the legs.
6. eye hooks at the ends of the middle (top) section for anchor strings
7. extention chords run under the minis.
8. 5 extra extention cords ran up the one side for the top section.
9. 10 plugs on one side, 5 on the other.
10. The trees on the sides take up the 16th channel.
11. There is talk about if arches should be even or odd channeled. Outs just tured out to be 1 channel for every 2 feet, no specific reason. I really do like having 1 channel/2 feet though. When they get upgraded, I'll still keep 1/2 ratio.
Mini-trees... That's simple. We did it the "normal" way. 30" easel from fabric store for $6 (I forget), and wrapped 3 strings of 100ct multi-minis on them. I didn't even nip off the long sides, just pushed then into the ground a bit to level them out.
I'm going to try to do some video of everything at some point.
That answer eveything?
