How to Tie A Christmas Tree to Your Car
Tying down your tree properly is important to ensure you don’t cause damage to your vehicle, don’t cause an accident if the tree falls off, and don’t accidentally destroy the beauty of the tree. Before you visit the tree farm, make sure you have bungee cords or twine, a box cutter (if using twine), and blankets, tarps, or something similar.
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.
