Tree top

This is the business end of the top of our megatree. The outer ring is a 4 inch diameter pipe, welded to a steel base plate. The 4 inch ring is drilled for 32 threaded U bolts, each of which attaches 2 strings of lights. The threaded rod coming up the center is used to attach the star. The inner pipe, measuring 1.5 inches in diameter slides into the 21 foot section of 2 inch conduit that serves as the “trunk” of out tree. It is held in place with a bolt.
