Fake palm tree & pine tree tower disguises
Independent travel tips for the professional at Leisure
October 2008

Fake palm tree & pine tree tower disguises are a great way
to cover up ugly light poles and towers. I recently purchases some
artificial metal palm tree covers for light poles, and here is my research:
-
This site sells custom pine tree and palm tree disguises, but they are
expensive.
-
These folks sell metal tree branches, quite good for disguising utility
poles and cell phone towers.:
-
This site sells artificial palm trees.
I chose
this
product, a artificial palm tree head with 36 fronds. It is listed as
Larger Cycas Palm Head 24 or 36 fronds 5' to 6' wide, and it's made of U.V.
Resistant Plastic for outdoor use.
We purchased this fake palm tree top from EarthFlora
for one of our utility poles, to disguise it.

This 100-foot-tall “stealth” cell
tower that resembles an eastern white pine tree, many visitors to The
Greenbrier may never realize it’s here, but will benefit from its
high-tech services.
Called a “monopine,” the fake pine
tree has 216 branches that start 20 feet above the ground which hide the
bread-box-size receivers and transmitters.
Johnson said it took about 10 days
to construct the cell tower at a cost of $140,000. |

There are also fake palm tree covers that disguise
telephone poles, cell towers and light poles, making them look like a real palm
tree.
