These black metal Christmas tree stands
have a 17 Inch leg span and they will hold an artificial Christmas tree with a 1-1/4 Inch diameter tree pole. No assembly is required for these steel tree stands. These heavy duty metal Christmas tree stands are ideal for trees between 3 and 4 feet tall. To protect these artificial Christmas tree stands they should be placed on a cloth (if on a hard surface), or onto a carpeted floor. Do not drag these stands, as you will chip the paint.
Tree Stand Dimensions:
Height = “6 ½; Diameter = “17; Width of Wide legs = “4 ½ – “1; Width of Slim legs = “3 – “1; Diameter of Pole (needed) = “1 ¼; Minimum Pole Length (under tree) – “5 ½; Above ground - "1.
These tree stands are easy to use:
Just unfold the stand, and screw the wing screw into the only hole provided for it on the stand, far enough to prevent the stand from folding again. It is not necessary to tighten the screw all the way. For the best setup possible, please read the steps below. For more information on artificial trees, refer to our artificial Christmas tree Guide.
Accurate setup instructions for your Metal Tree Stand:
1. Make sure that the wing screw on the tree stand is not screwed in (all the way) BEFORE you place the tree base into the stand.
2. Insert the base of the tree into the tree stand.
3. Screw the wing screw in one half turn at a time. While you are doing this be sure to keep the tree pressed up against the side opposite the wing screw, until the screw is tight. This is the most important step, as it will ensure your tree is straight up and down. Remember this saying while setting up your artificial Christmas tree stands, smoother is faster. Check the screw approximately 12 hours or more after you set the tree up, to see if it has loosened.
An inside tip on Tree Storage Preparation
Prior to setting your Christmas tree up, you may want to consider trying something new: hiding a Christmas Tree Storage Bag under your Christmas Tree Skirt. The most basic of our tree bags, the clear poly vinyl bags can simply be cut in the center of the bottom of the bag. Once there is a 6in hole in the bottom of the bag, you simply place it on top of the tree stand, in the same manner as a tree skirt and roll up the excess portion of the bag. Than just place the tree skirt on top of the tree stand and the tree bag, and put the base of your tree into the tree stand.
Our deluxe Christmas tree bags are even simpler to use. They fit over the tree stand, they already have reinforced holes cut into them, and they have drawstrings and zippers to help you compress your tree once you’ve pulled them up and over your Christmas tree. If you are like us and dread the headaches that come with taking your tree apart and finding a way to get your tree into an old cardboard box, than you should seriously consider our line of storage bags for Christmas trees! We have storage bags that allow you to keep your tree up and fully decorated, and we have storage bags for your tree after they’ve been taken apart, with enough room in them to hold other decorations. Whatever your intentions, we have a storage bag for you!
