Built me some stands to get my trees off the ground. Total cost per stand is around $27

Looks better than my benches. Which are old milk crates stacked under a 2"x12"x10' plank.
I'm scared of "monkey poles", too many clumsy animals around my house.... a deer would try to eat my trees and knock them down....or my dog would slam into one at full speed, as he chases falling leaves and squirrels.
Or a huge bird would land on my trees and knock them down...
Something bad would happen, if I did that...

Haha the only thing I really have to worry about is strong winds. As right behind me in these pic she there about a 400acre field and we see high winds all the time. Usually are 10-25mph winds constantly.

you aint kidding - ive got hawks, owls, deer, dogs, coyotes - all waiting to knock something like that over.

knowing my luck it would be me that toppled it though- dragging a hose around carelessly or backing up to see a tree at eye level or something.

It's a lot harder to knock over than you think. It weighs 500 lbs each
