It’s also important to keep in mind that you don’t have to spend a small fortune to get great rosary lights. If the EMT pole has a hole in the end, as some do, thread a cable tie through the hole and the end of the pole, and then pull it to form a loose loop around the cord of the lights. You can use electrical staples to keep the extension cord tight against the wall of a house or down a post. How to Build Floating Shelves My dad and I built these simple floating shelves to go above the girls’ homeschool desk.

Secure the wooden posts to the fence posts by side-nailing (nailing at an angle), or use a drill to secure them with screws into the fence. If you’d like more tension in the string light cords, use a thicker wooden post (2-by-2 or larger), or use half-inch electrical metal tubing plus a tube clamp at the top for attaching a hook. If the light will be hung on stucco, then it is important to choose lamps that have an adhesive back so that they will adhere properly. And with all the uncertainty right now, I feel like it’s a great time to get started with vegetable gardening. If you don’t have trees, a fence or another tall outdoor object, it doesn’t take much — just a little more time and a few additional supplies — to set up any outdoor space for cafe lights.And if you’re still not sure what kind of lighting is best for your outdoor living space, I walk through more backyard lighting options in this post. These are attached at one end only, so you need to make sure they’re positioned perfectly or they’ll droop down below the light cord. These 10′ fork-style poles were the all-around winners for best quality, ease of installation, and value. Some types of stucco are porous and may let water into the metal wires in replacement fixtures, causing them to rust. If the cord is too short, the lamps will be at an awkward angle and may not look as good as it could.

If you don’t have any natural supports available in a yard, a common solution is to put posts, each with a hook on the top, into sturdy planters filled with gravel or buckets filled with concrete and a PVC pipe (large enough to fit the post) slot in the center.I recently got these inexpen sive deck railing string light poles for my parents’ new deck, and the installation took about 20 minutes. Skip the cheap string lights and invest in commercial-grade patio lights marked for outdoor use, which are more durable and waterproof, and can be used permanently outdoors or year after year. If you want to hang your cafe lights from your house or another wall or fence, simply drill a pilot hole and screw either an eye hook, a cup hook, or a coaxial staple into the wall.
