Pamela,

Thanks for letting me know your husband made one! I have a smaller tree now, thinking about making a new one this year. I’m trying to wrap my brain around how a piano hinge works to make it still fold flat for storage. 🙂

I’m not sure the size of the box. I made it to fit my tree stand. No bigger, no smaller…. it fits exactly into the box as it is.

Sorry I can’t be of any more help.

Thanks Jessica for asking about the measurements. I made this to fit MY Christmas tree stand exactly, with no room to spare. The panels measure approximately 17.5 tall 19.25 wide. Your measurements would depend on the size of your stand. If you use the “bucket method” putting the bottom of your tree stand in a 5 gallon bucket you can try this size. However, a five gallon bucket is typically about 17.5 inches tall, so you may need to find one not so tall or make your panels slightly taller than I did. 🙂

I just got my panels out last night and put them together. Since I numbered them when I made them, this was soooo simple!
Good luck!

Yes, the pins come out and store away with the flat sections of panels.
