![]() Also thought when I get another controller, i'll add more lights of a different color on top, and each arch will be a 2 color 16 channel arch.īoth arches will be from right at the bottom lower end of my driveway near the street, and the second one will be spaced up about 5 ft further toward the house. Was thinking of using white light cords, since they will be so plainly visible, and still debating if I wanna use white lights, or blue, or red. Run the small Lamp cord cords I need to make and zip tie along the arch. Obviously if there are 2 connection points on the arch, I'll have to put 1 or 2 light segments in before tthe final connections and all other channels can slide onfrom each end. That gets repeated 7 more times, for an 8 channel arch. Those two slide onto the arch sort of together to allow the extra bending but its 1 channel. I wrap the lights onto the first 1.5 ft section and secure with hot glue at each end so they dont slide off, then continue that one channel of lights onto the next 1.5 ft section. Of course, a 3 ft section wont slide over a curved 3/4 section, so then i'm thinking each light segment is actually 2x 1.5 ft sections. Essentially they connect and form the arch.įor the lights, I'm thinking then 1" PVC, and so if the total arch is 25ft, then each light segment is about 3 ft. Rebar drove in the ground a ft, Then I guess maybe 3/4 PVC sticks, prob 25ft of length, and use threaded unions, or just a threaded pvc fitting to connect them together so they are secure but easy to separate after. So, I'm thinking strings wrapped on larger PVC sleeves, and smaller PVC for the arch itself. I'm using plain ole light strings of LED bulbs, and I wanna be able to store this as easily as possible after the season. the bottom span will be about 15ft, (driveway is 13.5, and I wanna leave some room. ![]() ![]() I've been looking all over Youtube and goolging, and cant quite find what I'm looking to do. So, you guys were so helpful on the mini tree ideas, I thought I'd ask about arches.
