I took the wood and made a box with 4 sides. the I placed the box over the Sego. I then filled the box up to the top of the trunk with Sugar Maple leafs. Then put the thick plastic lid on. I hope this works. I did not put X-Mas lights in there ar anything, just the leafs. I know "tropicman" has GREAT luck with just a plastic tarp over his and his looked great when I saw it, he lives in Wichita which is about 1 1/2 south of here.
good luck wes. looks like you got it workin' in Topeka.
