DIY Installation: Embrace the Holiday Spirit
Setting up your Christmas tree is a beloved holiday tradition. Here are some tips tailored to tree size and your experience level:
The Magic of the Cinco Stand
The Cinco Christmas Tree Stand simplifies tree installation with its wide base and robust bolts, which can handle even trees with uneven or crooked trunks, ensuring your tree stands securely. This feature sets it apart from other stands.
Size Matters: Tree Installation Guide
Trees from 3ft to 5ft: Generally, these are simple to install and typically require just one person.
Trees 6ft to 7ft: Installing these can be more challenging; having an extra set of hands can be beneficial.
Trees 8ft and taller: These require at least two people for setup. For trees 10ft or larger, we advise using a pallet under the stand for increased stability and safety.
If you’re new to setting up Christmas trees, it’s wise to have assistance regardless of the tree’s size.
Keep it Clean: Setup and Cleanup Tips
Installation can be messy. Keep a broom nearby to sweep up any debris. If installing on carpet, lay down a blanket to catch any fallen needles. Place a small rug or fabric under the stand to protect your flooring from scratches and water spills.
Pro Tip: Keep the Net On
Our trees are delivered netted. Leave the net on during setup to simplify the process. Once the tree is secured in the stand, remove the net to allow the branches to spread naturally.
Fresh Cut for a Fresh Start
Although our trees are freshly cut upon delivery, trimming a small section from the trunk before setup can enhance water absorption, helping the tree stay vibrant and fresh until Christmas.

Home or Away, We’ve Got You Covered
There’s no need to be home for delivery and setup. If you’ve purchased a Cinco stand or leave one out, our team will set up your tree. Just ensure you provide 1 or 2 liters of water in a bucket for the tree upon your return.
Smooth Setup with a Cinco Stand
A Cinco stand is ideal for a hassle-free installation, accommodating even trees with irregular trunks. You can buy a Cinco stand with your order or use a suitable existing stand. Note: our drivers may refuse installation if the stand isn’t a Cinco or is in poor condition.
Safety First
Our drivers’ safety is paramount. Please ensure the installation area is safe. Our drivers may refuse installation if they consider the location unsafe.
Parking Considerations
Please reserve a parking space for our delivery vehicle to facilitate a quick setup. This is especially important in inner Melbourne, where parking can be scarce.
Post-Installation Care
Keep a broom and water handy to clean up after installation and to hydrate your tree. Ideally, add 3 liters of water to the stand afterward. Placing a blanket under the stand can help protect your flooring.
