i say his idea, even if it is a fake tree. it should be easy to cut through the center of it to make it a little smaller.

lmgdao

it is a fake tree i am thinking about taking a hack saw and sawing about 3 inches off each section that should give us maybe a foot of clearance....but it would still be 11 ft tall

Nail the bottom of the stand sideways onto the wall then put the tree sticking straight out of the wall. :eek2:
