Cable and pedal Christmas tree stand, 3.5 L reservoir, trees to 8.2ft

About this product

This stand is built from plastic and metal and weighs 4.5 kg. It is meant for real trees up to 8.2ft with a trunk of up to 12 cm, although the description says up to 9ft. The base holds 3.5 litres of water.

A continuous metal cable and a foot pedal clamp the trunk, so the tree can be fitted in a few minutes. It is painted dark green and described as usable indoors or outdoors. Because the listing gives two heights, the lower 8.2ft is the figure to plan around.

What to use it for

Choose it for a tall real tree: the 3.5 litre base and 12 cm trunk limit cover trees well above 2 m, and the foot pedal leaves both hands free to steady the trunk.

Care and safety

Empty the reservoir and let the stand dry before storing it. Wipe the cable and the pedal with a dry cloth and keep them clear of needles.
