Any one ever see this or know anything about it? Would love to get details.

Would like to figure a way to do this inside my mega this year. Kind of like the light ring idea and a spiral at the same time. Any info, please share. Thanks.

Looks like it's essentially a leaping arch bent into a spiral instead of an arch shape.

I was thinking that too, but how to maintain that spiral shape, with sch40 pvc. Hmmm....maybe a wireframe bent like that, then slip some arch sleeves over it. Might actually work.

I'm guessing that wood frame is integral to the design and is there to hold the shape of the PVC.

I would think that it was made out of the black well piping. But it was a really great effect!

It looks like PEX piping supported by 2 *4's. No matter what it is, it would look great in a mega. Good luck.

I'd actually use it outside the mega tree just outside the lights. You can also follow the taper of the tree. Use 3/4" EMT cross brackets off your center pole. Clamp the black irrigation tubing to these as you corkscrew your way down. I was going to do that this year but ran out of channels. For a neater effect start one on each opposite side. The guy in California that did a sequence with Guitar Hero last year has this.

At various points around the center pole of the mega tree place horizontal pieces at different angles around the tree. It should work placing cross members at 180 degrees(forming 4 90 degree sections). The closer you place them the tighter the spiral will be. Then attach the lights at the end points of the cross members angling them downward to the next cross member below.

Wow, you guys have this all figured out already! Thanks for the valuable input. Think I am going to use a variation of this on a smaller tree. Details, pics and video to come....if my plan works out! Really hope so! Thanks again!
