Thank you! Always wondered how some trees are lit so perfectly. It's the double spacing going up and filling it in on the way down that is the trick!!! Can't wait to try this.
Great video. I just put my holiday lights up at my yard tree today. However, I would recommend that you use twist ties instead of staples, because staples can damage the tree bark. But yes, the lights sometimes need additional support or they will sag or fall over time.
Instead of staples, we use a hot glue gun. Works great on most surfaces outdoors with no damage...at least we haven't had any damage yet. And we use electrical tape to waterproof all of the plugs
"unfortunately I picked a tree with thorns" .... cute. Excellent video. I am planning to wrap similar size trees today, our one dry day this week. First time doing so, this is really helpful!
Nice video! Out of curiosity are you in the Southwest somewhere? It'd been super cool to have seen a shot or pic of the lights at night. Thanks for the video.
Great tips, but the extension cord is the wrong kind. That is an indoor only type of cord and not meant to run the type of power Christmas lights pull. Any time you run Christmas lights, especially a lot, you should only use a grounded 3-prong outdoor extension cord because they are made for the pull and are much more weatherproof and durable than what he is using. I have been putting up displays for more than 20 years and have had electricians help me over the years as I wanted to maximize my display while also being safe and those cords he is using are one of the first things I was told to avoid. Oh and I have never use staples on my trees when wrapping lights. The key is to hook them around notches or branches to keep them in place.
@@orthodoxNPC Pretty sure you want the tree alive so it can be lit up the next year?? And that it stays a living tree for the rest of the year??? Also it's 2020.
Thank you. This is the first instructional video on the subject that is concise and answered all my concerns.
Great video demonstration. When he says, " ask your supervisor at 6.59 mark, is he talking about our wives? lol
Robert Dunford you hit the nail on the head with that comment. Lol
Yep!
Heck yeah! Thats bc usually wives decide the overall decoration and look lol. Hubs dont care if its cockeyed or listing to the side haha
Yes
Lol- that’s what I was thinking lol

These are great tips! Thank you!
Very helpful! Going to try some of your suggestions this Christmas.
Love the video, but as usual another one without a ending! Why not show us the end ? Would like to have seen it lit up. 😔
Most likely the tree is hurting from the staples.
I loved watching your video and learning a little more today👍👍
Thank you! I wrapped my tree after watching this video and it's perfect! The tip on which outer branches to wrap really helped.
Great video, thanks from Australia!
Thankyou. About to do so e very big Aussie gum trees, your tip about the spacing for when coming back down was terrific.

Great demonstration. Your so handsome also.
Great instructions, thanks! I'll never complain about putting lights up in the cold again... You guys have thorns. Ouch!
Great video and demonstration. I enjoyed watching it as it wii be my first time try decorating my front yard. Thanks a lot
Thanks, put some lights on my apple tree using this technique.
This actually was really helpful we're putting our up a palo verde as well. Thanks!

thanks. but why not show how it looks lit up at the end
mactimo RIGHT WHATS THE FUCKING POINT IF YOUR NOT GOING TO SHOW THE ENDING YOU FUCKERS
mactimo Cause if you look he's not near a outlet since he didn't do it at a house
Mark Jones h
mactimo I was hoping for that too 👍🏽
Very nice but it would've been even better for you to show the end result of the lights in the night. Otherwise, very helpful 👌🏽
Great how-to video thanks so much for taking the time to do this video.
I've been super curious about this. Thank you!
Staples in a thinly barked tree can introduce diseases and entry points for damaging insects.
who invited this guy?

Great video! Good job
thanks. very helpful and I enjoyed watching this video
Very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Is there a proper way of creating a string of lights into a ball?
Why you don't want to cross coming back down?
Wear gloves & long sleeves if the tree has thorns ; )
Funny how you choose a very simple tree to demonstrate, try a crab apple!
On a residential property how would you quote/charge to hang wreaths, garland, tear drop swag ? Thank you !
Where in Arizona are you?
Supervisor = The Wife
AWESOME!🌻
Can you recommend anyone in the bay area, specially san Jose , CA
You're here in AZ aren't you? lol looks like my backyard.
Start at 5:00 for how to do branching limbs.
😘
I don’t need to staple right?
Just use bailing wire. You could actually use it the next year also!
Thanks!
I lit a tree last year, I’ve moved to a new house that doesn’t have a tree in the front yard I can wrap with lights. )_:
lol I'm tha opposite last year I didn't have a tree In my front yard that I could do we moved and now I got 5 trees I can do now lol!!
Why not criss cross the wires?

Too much talking - not enough action. Talk as you work ! Out at 4:03
He's pretty cute! I don't mind him tasking his time. 😉🙏
Too much typing from you, out at 0:00.5
Why would you pick a thorny tree to demonstrate this, might as well wrapped a cactus.

Dude… fuck those thorns. Are you serious? No thank you. That would terrible bro!
Just gotta Man-Up. It's Arizona! Wouldn't live anywhere else if you paid me.
Too much talking, otherwise good video
He talk too dam much. Shut up and just show how its done
You lost me too much explaining and not enough wrapping
A video thats is easily 7 minutes too long... and worse yet... then he never bothers to show you the end result.
Way too much talking.
