Christmas Tree Assembly and Lighting - For Prelit Trees

Click Here to View Our - Artificial Christmas Tree Catalog


Before you begin to assemble your tree, choose a location near a wall outlet. Place the tree stand on a level surface.

Carefully insert the bottom of the tree pole into the stand. Make sure the pole is firmly inserted into the stand and the screws are tightened. Then insert the middle section into the bottom and the top into the middle section.

Allow the branches to fall into place or gently pull up and out. When adjusting the branches be sure that all wires are free of the branch hinges.

Shape the branches. Start with the tips that are farthest from the pole, place one to the right, one to the left and one at the center of the main stem.

After shaping the whole tree step back and view the overall look of the tree. Shift branches to fill any gaps. Slightly upsweep all branch tips for a uniform look.

When the above is complete locate the cord on the bottom and plug it into the wall outlet. Plug in the light set from the top into the middle of the tree and then plug the sections into the outlet. Some trees will have sections that plug into each other and other trees will have you plug each section directly into the wall outlet. Please review the instructions provided in the carton with the tree for complete light instructions. When all sections have been plugged into the electric source properly the tree should be illuminated and ready to decorate. Enjoy your artificial tree.

When the holiday season is over and you are ready to store your tree unplug the cord from the wall outlet. You may store your tree in the carton provided however we recommend you keep the tree assembled, cover with plastic and store upright.

Earth Tones Most Popular Choice In 2009

There is a huge move toward outdoor entertaining which began in 2008 that is continuing to increase in the 2009 season. The increase in popularity of entertaining at your home is due to the decline in the economy. It is less expensive to furnish your back yard or pool area than to travel to multiple destinations for entertainment. In the end you have accomplished something tangible that you could not have with travel. In a sense you create your own resort area where you can entertain and create memories to last a lifetime.

It seems that earth tone shades are dominating the color scheme for outdoor furniture, fountains, water features and landscape themes this season. Neutral shades such as gray, brown or beige will compliment or flatter almost any color scheme. Colors such as gray, brown and beige also age well and pretty much never go out of style. They are more traditional and have a classic style appeal.

Many consumers are looking for pieces to add to their garden that will last a lifetime. Cast stone, concrete and iron furniture or fountains hold up the best over time in an outdoor setting. It is ideal to choose a neutral color such as beige and then add less expensive accents to change the scheme over the years. For instance if you select a gray fountain and then add gray furniture near the fountain you could add outdoor pillows, lamps or umbrellas of a different color to brighten your theme.
