But when you think about it, from the street where most of your viewers will be, nearly half those lights go unseen because they're on the BACK side of the tree. Here's a way to use common vinyl-covered metal garden fencing, mount lights on it inside the house. Then simply bend the fencing and wrap it around the trunk of the tree; tie it in the back of the tree and your tree is done in about five minutes. This tree used two wrap sections totaling 12 strings of 50 lights which allowed for some nice vertical animation.
