How to Tie a Christmas Tree to Your Car
Learning how to properly tie down your tree ensures you won’t cause damage to your vehicle, won’t cause an accident if the tree falls off, and won’t accidentally destroy the beauty of the tree. For proper tying, you’ll need to have a few things. For example, you should have bungee cords or twine, a box cutter (if using twine), and blankets, tarps, or something similar ready before you visit the tree farm.
Begin by tying the tree down in multiple places and making a loop around the trunk if possible. You’ll want to tie the twine or attach the bungee cords securely to your roof rack, then make sure the tree can’t slide. To confirm it’s secure, try moving the tree from front to back and side to side. When you’re all set, remember to drive slowly and avoid sudden stops that may make the tree come loose.
