An establishment with a green beauty at the entrance attracts more visitors and creates a positive image. After all, you can always hear children’s laughter near the Christmas tree; it fascinates with its beauty and inspires.

Few people think about it, but the appearance of such a gigantic beauty is a kind of miracle created by a team of specialists responsible for the sustainable installation of the tree, safety and its luxurious design. Installing street Christmas trees is a difficult and painstaking job that can only be entrusted to professionals.

Installation of street Christmas trees is a responsible process with every detail observed.

Typically, spruce assembly occurs at night. This immediately shows the professionalism and responsible attitude towards the work of the company installing fir trees. After all, there is nothing less festive than leaving a half-assembled frame in a crowded place.

    installation of a metal frame

    wood assembly, including high-altitude work using special equipment

    Christmas tree decoration

    dismantling of the structure at the end of the holidays

An artificial Christmas tree has a number of advantages over a living tree. It can be used for several seasons in a row, and this significantly saves the budget of an organization or city. Unnatural wood can be given perfect shape, while Christmas trees created by nature often have some errors in appearance. By using artificial New Year trees, we protect forests from deforestation, this is perhaps one of the main advantages.

Despite all the advantages, the installation of street Christmas trees has a number of features that must be taken into account. When transporting the structure, it is important to be as careful as possible so as not to damage the parts or spoil their appearance.

Decorating a street Christmas tree is the most enjoyable stage of installation

More from kindergarten We remember the festive call: “one, two, three, burn the Christmas tree.” So that the street tree burns, sparkles and shimmers different colors, experts use illumination, mainly garlands, which are used to decorate the tree in the first place. In the evening, when the lights turn on, the tree looks amazing.

And so that the green beauty looks beautiful even during the day, the installation of street trees ends with decoration with classic large-sized New Year's toys. This decor is made from special materials, which can withstand temperature changes, are resistant to moisture and other unfavorable factors. Toys, like a Christmas tree, can be stored for several years.

Dismantling the Christmas tree is carried out carefully and accurately

After any holiday, beautiful outfits are hidden back in the closet, and expensive jewelry is placed in the box. This happens with the Christmas tree, and taking it apart is no less difficult than installing it. Believe it or not, it takes the same amount of time to hide a Christmas tree until next year as it does to install it.

If you approach the dismantling of the Christmas tree irresponsibly, it is unlikely that it will delight you with its perfection. All structural parts must be carefully disassembled, packaged, transported and allocated storage space. Garlands, decorations and toys are packaged in separate boxes to keep them in perfect condition.

Approaching New Year and with it the New Year's troubles. One of the worries is installing a New Year tree in the apartment.

The simplest solution for installing a Christmas tree at home is to install it in a bucket of sand. To prevent the spruce from starting to crumble and retain its aroma, you can add a little water. For a more durable fixation, sand and gravel should also be diluted. But, unfortunately, in urban life, even getting sand is a real problem. Why not order a whole loaded KAMAZ to the entrance?!

As an alternative for housing conditions can perform regular bottles, filled with water. Place the tree in the center of the empty bucket, and place the bottles tightly together around the trunk. To give greater stability, you can also use available materials: rags, unnecessary things, plastic, etc. And to create a presentable appearance, all this disgrace can be covered with cotton wool - imitation of a snowdrift under the tree.

If there are old and unnecessary boards in the apartment's pantry, then you can also assemble a cross. To fix it, you will also need to find a long self-tapping screw, which then needs to be screwed to the spruce trunk. If the leg is cut at an angle, then you should first do smooth cut. An even more reliable cross is one made from metal bars. Enough to have welding machine to prepare the base for spruce in your or a neighbor's garage.

The metal cross should consist directly of a hollow pipe into which the spruce trunk will be inserted, as well as cross supports. Of course, such a design will not look very nice. Therefore, you can decorate such a support using modern colored paper or pieces of cotton wool, wrapping from gift sets. Finally, this must be done so that the metal cross does not scratch the floor covering.

To do christmas tree, place a bucket or something else under the crosspiece. Spruce is an integral attribute of the New Year's mood. Therefore, you should not refuse such decoration in your apartment, and even more so, deprive your children of such happiness. Another original version To install the spruce, use tripods from under the office chair. In this case, you can move the Christmas tree from place to place with a slight movement of your hand.

Of course, all the tips given are suitable for installing a Christmas tree at home, which requires a completely different approach.

Considering that the New Year and Christmas holidays in our country are long, the question of how to keep the spruce green and with a fresh aroma is quite relevant? If you put the spruce in water, you need to add a little aspirin or salt. Some people also add sugar. This allows you to slow down the withering process. Finally, do not under any circumstances put live spruce in close proximity to heaters and radiators.

Not a single New Year's holiday is complete without a Christmas tree. We can't wait to get our hands on the ultimate winter holiday decoration. Holding a Christmas tree in our hands, we begin to think: how to preserve the aroma and freshness of the tree for a long time.

In order for the New Year's beauty to delight you with its appearance for a long time, you must adhere to certain rules for its installation and use.

. Especially if it's frosty outside. Place it in a cool place for several hours to allow the tree to acclimatize to temperature.

To fully experience the aroma of pine needles, install the tree on New Year's Eve. Until this time, it is best to store it on the balcony or in a cool room. But not in the cold! Heat significantly reduces the freshness time of the tree, so you need to place it away from heating devices

and radiators.

There are several options for installing a Christmas tree. In any case, before placing the tree in a specific device, you need to perform the following steps. Trim the lower branches to expose the trunk by 20-30 centimeters. Remove additional bark. Be sure to update the cut of the tree and cut it to the required shape. The most common option for installing a Christmas tree is a tripod (cross). If it is made of wood, then it is necessary to additionally drive wedges near the trunk. On metal mount

tighten the screws tightly. Such actions will allow you to place the tree evenly and secure it in the device. But in the crosspiece it will very quickly wither and crumble. Therefore, it is best to purchase models with a water compartment. Moisture will keep the needles juicy. And to make it convenient for you to add water to the container, tie a tube to the trunk and lead it to the upper branches of the spruce. Lower the lower end into the tank.

If it is not possible to buy such a tripod, then place its central part in a jar of water.

Or tie a strip of fabric to the trunk and lower the free end into water.

Often Christmas tree placed in a bucket of sand. This is a solid base, but the sand needs to be compacted well around the tree trunk. Then water it well and periodically make sure that the moisture does not evaporate. Otherwise, the sand will dry out and the tree may lose stability.

When you install the Christmas tree correctly, it will delight you with its beauty throughout the New Year holidays. Happy New Year!
