chris2fer03 4 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 The hanging sleigh set is awesome. I'd love to mount mine on our roof but no clue where to begin. Good luck with the rest of the setup. Christopher Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveMal585 67 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 How do the reindeer balance? Look like these is just a wire down the middle, and I picture the wind tipping them over??? I'd like to do this with mine this year Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Look like these is just a wire down the middle, and I picture the wind tipping them over??? I'd like to do this with mine this year if you look close at the pic you will see lines next to the deer...i used rope and anchored them down...the part of this had me puzzled for hours because they kept flipping upside down...but it is also very windy all the time at my house too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveMal585 67 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Are the ropes just coming down straight and then anchored to the ground or do you have to spread the anchors out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnygriswold 31 Posted November 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Are the ropes just coming down straight and then anchored to the ground or do you have to spread the anchors out? they are on about a 15 degree angle....give or take of coarse...lol im going to upgrade them tomorrow with nylon rope....

s8830906 11 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Just use high test fishing line. Very strong and you won't be able to see it. Would love to have a set like that; they look awesome and I love those antlers! Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Billings North Pole 0 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 They look great I am working on getting my Santa on the roof this year had to save your pic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qberg 158 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 I use a lot of fishing line too. 15-20 lb has never failed me. I have 15 snowflakes that hang all over the front of our 2 story house and I use it to hang em and keep em from spinning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
westislipxmas 31 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 I've never had any issue with them tipping over. I use cable and run it through the neck and tail of the reindeer and the Santa sleigh. Very sturdy and secures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
