Re: Ferris Wheel and Roller Coaster
The frames are built from 1/2" PVC Pipe and 1/2" metal conduit. The lights on the frame are C7's and the lights on the cars are mini. The pipe and conduit are bolted together and the lights are ty-wrapped. I dug 7 holes by hand 2' deep with post hole diggers and cemented 2 1/2" diameter pipe in the ground to support the frame and fastened the frame with stainless steel clamps to the pipes. We did not build these from scratch, they are part of the Blue Ridge Lights Display that we purchased in January. They were dismantled and brought down on flatbed trucks from Woodlawn VA. We had to re-assemble the frames and build the supports to mount them to. They had them held up with rebar and guy wires. The Ferris wheel is operated by a two channel controller and the roller coasted is operated by a three channel controller. Here are daylight pictures.
