To keep the pine tree standing in the rain and wind, the team of workers had to build a frame, cut and weld it directly. The frame was made of V-shaped steel and welded together very firmly. In addition, the team of workers had to use pulleys to pull the clay pots up high and then carefully assemble them to avoid collisions and breakage.
