This Mega-Tree light carrier is designed to slip around a 2" flagpole that uses a pulley to lift the carrier to the top.  The slip-ring is included in case, like my flagpole, yours reduces in diameter to 1 7/8" halfway up.  

The carrier is designed with about 0.6mm of tolerance on either side to allow for easy lifting,  The deep sleeve on the main part is designed to minimize binding, but balancing your load is still recommended.   The upper sleeve is placed on the 1 7/8" portion of the flagpole and "catches" as the carrier rides up to prevent too much "slop" in the final movement of the fully lifted assembly.  The upper sleeve is a tighter tolerance at 0.2 mm per side of the flagpole.  

This has been designed to carry up to 24 strings of lights.  See photos for more details.  

PRINT AND USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!  This is a modification of the way a flagpole is meant to be used and thus, you must be careful about properly securing your Mega-Tree.
