For those of you who usually put up large trees (6 ft and taller), what do you do to secure the tree from a curious toddler?
If you use fencing, how do you secure the fencing? Are you anchoring it to the walls?
Do you use any sort of string or some other anchor to tie the top of the tree to the walls?
I'm seriously at a loss on this. I could get fencing, but free-standing as a rectangle or octogon, it moves if he pushes it, which defeats the purpose. My parents used to secure our really tall trees (6.5 - 7 ft) with green string looped around the tree's main stalk and anchored to the wall at various points going down, but I don't know just how secure this really is for a toddler.
I'm thinking about getting some potted, short, real trees in wide pots and placing them at elevated spots instead of my regular 6.5 foot tree, but I don't really know.
Thanks for your suggestions.
Lynne
