best way to hang christmas trees from a dock?
hey gang.
Long time no chat! I hope all is well with everyone!
Quick questions.
I'm planning on hanging a couple of christmas trees from my dock in about 7 ft of water. How deep should I hang them? Should I weigh them down and if so how much? A cinder block would probably suffice huh? Lastly, I can just use some nice nylon rope right?
BTW, about 20 yards from my dock it's 15 feet deep or maybe a hair deeper. I'm going to try to get a couple of Cedars to sink out there next spring sometime.
Thanks.

Hey all.
Hope you are still well. I'm going to hang the tree from the dock today!! Yeah! Talk about a delay in the program!!!
Glad I revisited this thread. I remembered everything BUT the electric fence wire and had purchased some nylon rope. I'll head back to the hardware store and pick up some wire this AM.
One last question. As the dock floats with water conditions and reacts to waves, whether they be from wake or wind, should I drop the tree all the way to the bottom of the lake or suspend it slightly up from the lake bottom? My assumption is I should go all the way to the bottom, but during low water or heavy wake, the tree will be slack or bob. Thoughts?
Thanks again!
