Here are a couple of more pictures. You can see that I used short sheet metal screws to hold the strips to the EMT but I suppose that tie-wraps would work as well. On the bottom the holes did not align perfectly so I just put a screw through the plastic itself when needed. A 2' piece of rebar was used to hold the tree in the yard.

Thanks Kevin! Sorry I'm not getting notifications just seen this today.
Do people do the curved tree design cause of viewing? Is the flat tree design just as good if your viewing is directly forward?
I'm on an acreage and the viewing will be very one spot direct on.
Here is my layout and basically where the picture was taken is where you would be viewing from.
Thanks

For your application, yes, the flat should be just fine. And I suggest using the Black Boscoyo strips rather than the White ones.

Do you happen to know the legnths of the pipe? I am trying to space them out evenly lol
Make sure you double check the distance between the top and bottom cross members to match your layout. I spaced this out for 10 pixels at 3" spacing on the 5 strips.
