Yes, many stores have them on clearance and I usually get them for $0.99/each after Christmas. I tell them I REALLY like Christmas trees when I checkout
. This time I didn't use them on top, and it worked out pretty well, but should have drilled the holes at the top a little larger. 3/4 wood bit fits the 1/2 irrigation pipe perfect, but a little tight when having the weave them together at the top. Next year I will get a little larger bit for the top holes.
Also built several like this with the stands.
