Mastering Effortless Artificial Tree Setup
As a seasoned expert in holiday decor and artificial Christmas trees, I’m excited to share my practical tips and in-depth insights to help you streamline your tree assembly and elevate your festive celebrations. Whether you’re a first-time artificial tree owner or a seasoned pro, this comprehensive guide will empower you to set up your tree with confidence and ease, leaving more time to immerse yourself in the joy of the season.
The Rise of the Flip Tree: A Game-Changing Innovation
In recent years, the introduction of the Flip Tree has revolutionized the way we approach artificial Christmas tree setup. This ingenious design, pioneered by inventor Bruce Schooley, addresses the common challenges of heavier, more lifelike artificial trees, making the assembly process a breeze.
The Flip Tree’s patented structure features just two main components – the base and the treetop. This innovative approach eliminates the need for heavy lifting and complex part attachment, allowing you to simply flip the base and secure the treetop in seconds. Gone are the days of struggling with unwieldy branches and tangled light strings.
Unboxing and Assembling Your Flip Tree
Setting up your Flip Tree is a remarkably straightforward process that can be completed in just a few easy steps. Let’s dive into the details:
-
Unpack and Position the Tree Base: Start by rolling the tree’s bottom section from the shipping box to your desired location. Remove the storage bag and secure the stand by locking the wheels and pressing down on the foot pedal until you hear a click.
-
Flip the Tree Base: Press the foot pedal on the same side as the stand bar to unlock the base, then flip the tree base towards you until it locks into place.
-
Attach the Treetop: Take the tree’s top section out of its storage bag and insert it into the pole of the base. For taller trees, the top may come in two parts – simply ensure the central pole plugs are aligned when attaching the treetop to connect the light strings properly.
-
Shape the Branches: Balsam Hill trees are compressed for shipping and require a bit of shaping to achieve a full, lush look. Start by gently fluffing the inner tips of each branch, then angle any side branches out and away from the main trunk. Check for any gaps and continue to fluff until you’re satisfied with the tree’s appearance.
For pre-lit models, the process is even simpler. Thanks to the patented Easy Plug technology, the light strings are pre-connected throughout the trunk, eliminating the need to link multiple strands. All you have to do is plug in the tree, and your holiday lighting is ready to shine.
Storing Your Flip Tree for the Off-Season
When the festive season comes to an end, properly storing your Flip Tree is crucial to preserving its beauty and ensuring it’s ready for next year’s celebrations. Here’s how to do it:
-
Disassemble and Prepare for Storage: Unplug your pre-lit tree and remove all decorations. Detach the top section and place it in the treetop storage bag, arranging the pole so the clear plastic lining protects it.
-
Flip the Tree Base into Storage Mode: Press the foot pedal on the side of the stand to unlock the tree base, then flip it toward you until it automatically locks into storage mode.
-
Secure the Tree Base in the Storage Bag: Pull the storage bag over the tree base, positioning the zippered opening directly over the bar of the stand. The tree base pole should go through the hole at the top of the bag. Close the bag and secure it with the provided straps.
-
Store in a Cool, Dry Place: Unlock the wheels and roll your tree into a suitable storage location, such as a closet or basement. Choose a cool, dry space to prevent any potential damage during the off-season.
By following these steps, you can effortlessly store your Flip Tree, making it ready to shine bright once the next holiday season arrives.
