No one completely welds (not spot-welds) and sandblasts their bottle trees!
Some bottle trees that are being sold out there are only ½ inch thick, some are shipped with many pieces to put together and still some are actually hollow pipes! Some are greasy and dirty. Some are wooden!! WOOD! All my bottle trees are solid steel and are shipped in one, two or three pieces! My tree trunks are 5/8th! That’s and 1/8th inch larger than mine competitors!
