4 Brace Stud Christmas Tree Stand

Description

Large Heavy Duty 4 Brace Standtastic Adjustable Christmas Tree Stand is designed to hold big Christmas Trees in homes with high ceiling, churches, offices, country clubs and other places where stability and reliability are required. All Brace Mounts, Brackets, Braces, screws and hardware are supplied. You will need a ratchet, a 7/16 and a 9/16 socket, screwdriver, drill and 3/8th bit. You will build a 40" cross of 2x4 or 2x6 that has a 1” hole drilled through the middle of the spot where the cross intersects. A lag bolt is screwed into the bottom center of the trunk to leaving a 1½” Peg assembly. The Peg assembly will be inserted into the 1” hole in the cross to keep the tree centered. The Brace Mounts are screwed to the lumber to provide the connection points for the Braces. The Braces will swivel up to the tree and attach using wood screws. You must supply your water container. For a water container you can recycle a 10" tall bucket like the one used for paint and pool chemicals or use a 16"x16" wide and 12" tall plastic storage box. The lag bolt and seals compress against the tree trunk to form the leak proof seal. We provide the neoprene seals necessary to make a leak proof connection between the tree and water container. The weight of the tree will rest on the Peg assembly against the cross while the water container is fixed above the lumber on the Peg assembly. If the Christmas tree needs straightening simply loosen all of the Brackets at the Mounts using the 7/16 socket and gently slide to straighten and tighten.
