Correct.... Maybe a bit excessive , but they look great in the yard. I have 8 of the 3 footers and 8 of the smaller ones in the display this year.

I use 12 inch plastic ground stakes that screw into the ground. I then feed thick metal cable through the holes in the ground anchors and lock them together. It seems to do the trick and gives me some peace of mind.

Just a random thought.......You can prolly just flick them with your finger until the filament pops?!?!?!?

I think that Anthony's suggestion is to use the C9 string as a 25' extension cord with none of the lights on the C9 string energized.

Some Funny Stuff To Add To The Display?

This is really cool. Great idea! -
The electrical tape works great for me. It helps me to be able to grab the tree and spin it while I wrap the lights.

I use zipties for pretty much everything. I like using them with the mini-trees just to make sure every last little light is faciing out.... I guess I'm OCD.

I am sure this has been done before, but I just wanted to share my version of the "mini tree" idea: I take (2) tomato cages, zip tie them together and use electrical tape on top. Then I start at the top and "evenly" wrap (2) strands of 200-count multi incandescaents... zip tieing sporadically to hold the lights in place. Then I fill in the gaps with LED lights: (2) 60-count multi, 60-count white, 60-count pink. Here they are lit up I also created some "mini" mini-trees.
