Choosing the Best Materials for Your Sasquatch™ MegaTree™ in Harsh Climates

When building a Sasquatch™ MegaTree™ for harsh weather, material selection is key. Stainless steel and galvanized steel are the best choices for the pole and legs, offering excellent corrosion resistance and durability. For stability, use 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick tubing based on tree height. Avoid using aluminum for the main pole, as the steel topper can damage the softer metal. Ensure your tubing is cut 8 inches longer for proper topper clearance, and remember that results may vary depending on your setup. Mattos Designs is not liable for DIY setups that do not work as expected. Follow these guidelines for a stable and long-lasting display!
