Sometimes, when we browse shopping websites or watch website videos, we are attracted by beautiful outdoor light strings.They look exceptionally cool and quiet on summer nights,so you quickly receive the outdoor light strings you ordered.At this point, we began to wonder how to hang and install these lights.Don't worry, keep reading. This article will show you how to install.
First of all, you need to prepare the following materials, which you may probably use:
Guy Wire Kit
Carabiners
Hooks- these could be screw-in hooks or another variety
Zip ties
Extension cords
Then, you can follow the steps below to install it:
- Draw a rough sketch with measurements
- Assembly pole (if applicable)
- If using guy wire, hang this first. Using thuswire can extend the life of the string because it eliminates the tension generated on the string when the outdoor string light hangs over time. In some cases, the string of lights may need to pass through the guy wire before hanging.
- Hang your first garden light string with the male plug closest to the outlet.
- Use zip straps or hooks between each bulb as needed, placed on deck railings or other structures. If applicable, feel free to attach the rope to your guy wire.
- If you use multiple lightstrings, complete the first run, then connect the male end of the second string to the female end of the first string and continue this way until all the strings are in place! If your light string does not have an end-to-end connector, connect the extension cord to the second light string and continue to hang the lights.
- Plug your patio lights in and enjoy the ambiance!
If you don't have many readily available options for hanging garden lights in your yard, you may need to create your own one. You can fix the pole to the deck railing or you can use the railing itself to hang the lights. For larger backyard installations, you may need to connect the wires to the trees and put the poles underground.
