Frustrated with his Christmas trees tipping over, a Canadian Engineer set out to analyze why tree stands fail and to develop a better solution. He quickly found the fundamental flaw with all stands - they don't grip the tree securely around the trunk. Simple thumbscrew mechanisms are too flimsy to handle the substantial forces at the base of a 6' tree, and they slip off the trunk after a few days as the trunk shifts and softens.

​

After many design trials, the eight-jaw design of the BEAR PAW proved to be the answer and was granted international patents.

​

Testing on trees of varying heights and trunk diameters over several years has proven the success of this design: Incredibly strong, reliable, and easy to use.
