Hey Aaron, I'm curious, why did you go with a custom 20x30 setup from Mason, rather than his standard 2x3? If you were only planning on doing a dozen trees max, I could understand that, but with 50+ taps, I'm not sure why you would specifically want a smaller arch. By my calculation, his standard 2x3 arch would have almost 50% more surface area than your 20x30 one.
