Setting Up An Artificial Christmas Tree
Artificial Christmas trees have four main parts: the base, the bottom tree piece that fits into the base, the middle tree piece that supports the bulk of the tree and the tree top piece. Putting up artificial Christmas tree is simple and safe with a few basic instructions.
1. Set up the tree stand in a place close to where the artificial Christmas tree will be. Artificial trees can weigh anywhere from 10 to 30 pounds, depending on the size of the tree, and they can range from 4 feet to 12 feet tall.
2. Read through the instructions and the artificial Christmas tree safety guide thoroughly before starting to assemble your tree. Make sure all the pieces and parts are present and in good working condition. Arrange all the pieces on the ground.
3. Start by inserting the bottom tree base into the tree stand. This bottom tree piece is the largest and widest of all the tree parts. The tree base will have a grooved hole in which you will insert the pole end of the next tree part.
4. Insert the tree base that consist the first tree part and the second tree part, the middle section. Before inserting the middle piece, make sure the large bottom tree part is secured firmly into the tree base. These pieces should snap firmly together.
5. Insert the middle tree part into the bottom tree part. The bottom tree part will have a grooved hole while the middle tree part will have a grooved pole for easy assembly. Make sure this connection is firm and doesn't wiggle.
6. Insert the final tree part, the top of the tree. Snap this last piece into the hole of the middle tree part. Make sure this connection is snug. Like the bottom and middle pieces, these connectors are grooved and should snap in for a secure fit.
7. Start to pull and spread out the artificial evergreen branches and limbs to make your tree look more natural. During shipping, these branches and needles can become squished and will not look natural if you don't take the time to fluff the needles of your tree.
8. Slide your artificial Christmas tree carefully into the spot where you want your tree to be showcased. You may want to have another person help you guide the tree into the desired location.
