Everything you should know about Christmas tree stands

Best tips from the Christmas tree dealer

Quite a few people can remember the tedious setting up and time consuming alignment of the Christmas tree from their childhood days. Nowadays, fortunately, there are Christmas tree stands that make setting up a literal breeze.

What Christmas tree stands are there?

Modern Christmas tree stands no longer have much in common with the old metal or cast iron stands in terms of handling and safety.

These variants were heavy and unwieldy, making it a great effort to put up a tree. The tree was aligned and fastened using screws on the side.

Christmas tree stands of the latest generation have a cable pull for this purpose. So called cable stands are usually controlled by a foot lever to close the cable around the tree.

Conveniently, many stands are already equipped with a water tank, so that the tree can be watered regularly. This keeps the tree fresh longer and does not lose needles so quickly.

Criteria for choosing the stand

First and foremost, a Christmas tree should be easy to set up and stand safely. Accordingly, it should not fall over in any case. Therefore, the stability of the stand is of the utmost importance.

The larger the tree, the larger, heavier and more robust the stand must be.

In addition to stability, user-friendliness is also crucial. If the tree does not exceed two meters, then with a Christmas tree stand with single-rope technology, one person is already enough to set up and align the Christmas tree.

Furthermore, attention should also be paid to an integrated water tank. A Christmas tree with a height of two meters takes up about two liters of water per day.

We additionally recommend paying attention to quality and test seals. This ensures both reliable handling and low pollution.

Setting up the Christmas tree

With a modern stand, one person is usually sufficient to set up the tree. A second person can help by giving instructions on how to align the tree.

As described, we recommend a modern Christmas tree stand with single rope technology. This can save a lot of hassle and frustration.

The best way to set up is to first place the Christmas tree in the net in the stand, straighten it and then fix it with the foot lever. Then use scissors to free the bottom of the Christmas tree from the net. In this way, even a large tree can be set up effortlessly in 3 minutes.
