The Christmas Tree Collar has become a new norm in modern Christmas decorating, watch the video as Christmas Cory gives us a quick explanation and demonstration on how this tree collar works. Designed to go over and around the tree stand for fresh or artificial Christmas trees. A tree collar replaces the traditional Christmas tree skirts used to conceal the metal tree stand. To use, simply put the tree stand in place, put the tree collar over and around the stand. Install the artificial tree base section in the stand and work on building the tree. Real trees can go into the stand once the collar is place. This heavy duty tree collar has a 26" diameter bottom (inside measurement is 24.5") by 11" by 22" top diameter (20" inside diameter. Once the tree is up, the end result is a clean, contemporary look of a tree in a wicker stand. Easy clean poly-resin on a galvanized base.
