    I’ve been hoping for an Isaac Alexander DIY PVC Christmas tree tutorial this year.
    Thanks for delivering, Isaac! 🎄
    Yours is - by far - less complex and less complicated than any other version I’ve seen. Your use of PEX Pipe is a game changer, bro! 👏
    And your 1/2-in Push-to-Connect Coupling piece alternative makes the cost of this project so very reasonable. 🧾
    After viewing your tutorial, I went right on to Lowe’s and got materials for 3 trees.
    Thanks for always including a detailed supply list in each video’s description. It made purchasing everything incredibly easy. 🙌
    My dad and I are working on this project together over Thanksgiving.
    While shopping Wednesday, he said that Lowe’s should be paying you for bringing in so much business! I definitely agree! 🙂
    We’re looking forward to assembling the trees on Friday.
    As always, thanks for another awesome tutorial, Isaac. Thanks even more for providing so many opportunities for families to bond and to build lasting holiday memories together. ❤️ 💚

    If price is an issue, instead of buying the PEX tool, clamps, and fittings, you can just get one SharkBite 1/2-in Push-to-Connect Coupling. This will work the same, cost a fraction of the price, and will only show a little metal in the coupling, which can easily be painted to mask. Just a tip for those who are only buying the pex stuff for this project. The tool alone is over $50, where the coupling is just from $8 to $10 per piece.
    An even easier alternative would be to simply use white duct tape to secure the two ends. The pipe isn't under incredible pressure, and it makes it easier to take down at the end of the season.

    Great idea! After Christmas sales are the best time to buy Christmas lights for next year! I made a PVC tree like this that I have been using for about 12 years (10’ PVC but had to put metal conduit inside to stiffen it up). But this gave me some ideas to improve it (the ring at the bottom and the T connectors.) I keep wanting to make a 6’ and 4’ tree to sit next to the 10’ one. So this video gave me ideas. You might want to wrap the screws at the top in electrical wire (or use drinking straws around them) so the wires don’t rub on them and the insulation gets cut. (The straws will be like sleeves around the screws).

One suggestion though--to secure it to the lawn if you don't happen to have any rebar, you can use landscape pins/garden stakes around the bottom. I use them on all of my lighted yard ornaments to keep them from blowing away in the wind. Thanks again for your clear instructions in this tutorial!

    I also have some tips for the windy, stormy areas of the US. It gets really windy and rainy here in Dec. so I use heavy duty landscape staples, the U shaped ones, to hold down all of my x-mas decorations. So for this tree, in my area, I would skip the legs and use the staples to secure the tree to the ground. Also for the screws on top, I'm going to wrap the sharp parts with electrical or waterproof gorilla tape to keep the light strings extra safe. I really Love the candy cane look!
    I made candy cane poles a couple years ago, using 2" pvc and red duct tape, super easy. Then I took smaller pvc and cut them diagonal to hammer into the ground and used pipe wrap to around those, slide the candy cane poles over them and they're stand secure. I first used balls on top, but have since bought solar pathway lights that are globes, and change from red to green, the spike attached and put them right on top, they line the driveway. I made the giant lollipops using PVC as well, pool noodles and duct tape that i've seen on youtube..so a whole candy cane ish them going, with my fleet of reindeer (that I'm currently restringing with new lights...)
    I'm alway DIY'ing things, PVC is awesome for so many things! Trees have been the one thing I've been looking for an easy cheap solution for!! So again, really glad I found your tutorial!! Now I'll have trees!

    Thank you for the tutorial. I built two 8-foot trees. I could only locate shallow 2-inch caps, so I drilled holes in the tops of the PVC pipes and connected them with wire. Then I put on the 2-inch caps. It worked well and made the trees very stable. I also made the circle of PEX using a dowel pin rather than the connector. It worked well. I installed the pair on either side of my driveway. They really stand out in the neighborhood. Thank you again for the idea.

    This is brilliant!! I have been wanting to do something like this for a long time. I have 75 acres of land and my neighbors all have 3 acres. They all decorate their place with lights every year. But it is a bit expensive to do my land. However, with your idea is is not too expensive, because I already have a lot of the pipe I bout before the pandemic. As well, boxes of lights ever year at the end of the season for only $0.50 a box. So, I plan to use your idea to make 50-100 to put around my land this year! If I did it all your way it would be a bit expensive, but I realized that I can change the PVC cap idea with a small log cut on my miter saw and screw the pipes to it. Or I can use tin cans with metal screws. I think I will opt to put a bolt in the center of the can pointing out of the bottom of the can and wrap the lights around i instead of using screws. This method will remove the cost of the caps. Instead of if a metal stake I will cut points on the ends of the pipes and push them into the ground, so the metal stake cost is gone too. I also have to think of storage, so the base hoop won’t be easy to store. I guess I will use metal adjustable clamps. Oh wait that will be expensive. I can use a PVC coupler. Oh, cheaper would be to just use a 3” long screw and screw at an angle from one side to the other side. Thanks again for the idea! I subscribed!

    🤔Hmmmm…this gives me an idea. Instead of PVC pipes, you could use upside down round tomato cages, zip tie the top wires/stakes (which usually are inserted in the ground for support), and then add Christmas lights to it? You can stake the tomato cage down using landscape garden staples. I have some sturdy 54” in tomato cages in storage from summer gardening. The Christmas tree won’t be as tall but it’ll be an easy diy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

      You could also by 700-800 strand lights, that way you don’t really have to buy more strands, because that way it could become more expensive, whereas if you get one super long strand, they tend to be cheaper.

    One suggestion-the scerw threads at the top will chafe on the light wires and short them out. You might put some skinny tubing over the screws to protect the wires.

    Nice tutorial. Was wondering if you could simplify the tip by drilling a hole horizontally through the three pipes at the top and put a bolt/locknut through the whole to fasten them together. If the hole is larger than the bolt diameter, you should be able to swing and twist the poles to the needed angles. At the end of the season you could just leave that end connected. If you drill the hole a few inches down from the ends of the pipes you could use the pipe ends to drape the light strings, rather than the screws in the end caps.

    A couple of things I like my lights pulled real tight and if you are using new lights it is hard because they are in the box for so long so before you attach the lights tie the plug side to something outside and pull them to another side an tie them to something as the sun warms up the wire then you can pull them till they are straight. You can use the fence line or trees or stake them in the grass. If you want to take it all down to store them use velcro to hold the topper in place instead of glue. They sell long storage boxes for wrapping paper mine is 6 ft so the trees are 5.5 ft or shorter. You can also just wrap them in cellophane wrap and stand them somewhere. I also wrap my lights on extension cord caddies then wrap them in cellophane. For Icicle lights I loop them around the fireplace and turn them on for an hour and then straighten them all out before i hang them outside. Hope some of these hints help.

    I like your trees. Very well done. I am sure there are other ways to make it cheaper. Also, different heights and widths. My issue would be storage after Christmas . Using things to tighten them down would also have to be removed for a flat shortage, Crimping would not be ideal unless you just keep the circle intact. Like someone said, that crimping tool is expensive just to buy to do this project unless you do a lot of crimping. There are PEX to PVC adapter fittings (sharkbite 1 2 in push to pex) for $8 to make that circle. If you are screwing all the other parts together then staking them that should keep things in place without crimping them. When getting Pex pipe make sure it is white. I noticed there are all different colors that very flexible. I am thinking about making 2 of these trees if I can reduce the height and the circle width. There might be some math there to think about HAHA Thanks for the great video. Question - could hola hoops be used? The can be staked down of course.

    White lights on the ground and some strands suspended to project the sense of snow falling.
    If you get the lights that fluctuate the twinkle, it would look like snow is falling, I think?
