Easy, I have a very large lot. The red shed in the pictures is my Christmas shed. It’s 12 feet off the property line. Originally I was going to disassemble the wheel and store it in there. But decided that was too much work. So I built a room in the back of the shed that only I know is there. 2 minutes with a screw guy and the wall comes down, lay out the Ramps and the wheel assembly rolls in. Base goes in the shed

Re: Our Ferris wheel build
That is some mighty fine work you have done.
Did you use a projector for your dwarf cutouts?

No I do them by hand, projector would make it easier but I’ve been too cheap to buy one lol

Re: Our Ferris wheel build
This is some great work. I have been wanting to do a wheel for years. I would be interesting to see your power/motor configuration to get the bad boy moving.
edit: just read above how you power and move it. great job.

Re: Our Ferris wheel build
That is the same reel I used for the bottom ring of my megatree. I just cut out all the struts and welded in 1/2 conduit with a metal flange in the middle to center it on my pole.
