Christmas tree trunk too small for stand.

Fresh christmas trees can be bought from malls or local stores though the best place to source them is the christmas tree farm. A person looking at the tree won t even notice. Most people today opt for an artificial christmas tree due to the convenience offered to the user however it can never replace the crisp fragrance and the authentic setting obtained by installing a fresh christmas tree during christmas time. Use relatively thin wire.

Cut off the little l s at the end of the tree stand bolts with a hacksaw. Is your bolt broken or stuck. The exception is when the trunk is too narrow. Step 2 cut approximately 1 2 inch off of the bottom of the christmas tree trunk with a saw immediately before you attempt to place it in the stand.

For example a tree stand designed to take a 12 foot tree may only take a trunk that s down to three inches in diameter any smaller trees and you risk the it falling over. Typically you use a tree stand designed for a taller tree on a smaller one. Chuck the ends of the bolts into a variable speed drill and tighten them into the trunk. It is not a distraction.

Choose a tree stand that is large enough for your christmas tree.
