Standing tall by Christmas

Installation

Set your tree up yourself in a few minutes, or have our driver do it for you on delivery.

Do it yourself

Setting up your tree on your own

3–7ft

Trees from 3ft to 7ft can be set up by one or two people (depending on skill and strength) using a Cinco Christmas tree stand.

8ft+

Trees 8ft and taller need two or more people to set up with a Cinco stand. For larger trees (10ft and above), we recommend putting a pallet under the stand so the tree can't fall over.

Trimming the trunk

Cutting a few centimetres off the trunk is optional, as your tree is freshly cut on the day of delivery. We still recommend it for a longer-lasting, greener, fresher-looking tree.

The hammer step may not be needed, as the weight of the tree is usually enough.

Installation add-on

Setting up your tree by us

When you order, let us know you'd like your tree set up on delivery.

1

You'll need a stand

Buy one of ours with your order, or use a working stand from last season.

2

Our driver installs it

The driver stands your tree in the stand for you on delivery day.

3

The stand must be in good order

Our drivers can refuse to install if the stand isn't one of ours or isn't in working condition.

Forgot to add it to your order?

You can still buy installation or a tree stand on its own.
