Steps To Hanging String Lights On Your Patio
1. Choose The Right String Light For Your Patio
If you want to hang patio lights for a long time, it’s very important to choose high-quality bulbs and strings that are made to last and still look great after a long time outside. Below are a few pointers to consider when choosing string lights for outdoor use:- Choose light bulbs that you can take off the string. This makes it easy to change the bulbs if you need to and lets you change the colors or themes if you want to.
- If you can, choose bulbs that won’t break instead of ones made of glass, especially if you live in a place where the weather changes often or there are strong storms.
- LED lights are superior to incandescent lamps for use in the garden and on the patio because they last far longer, consume significantly less energy, and are safe to touch.
- Lighting a huge area? Outdoor string lights with suspending brackets are a great option. Each lamp has a machine-cut hole in a rubber support bar that serves as a hanging grommet. Support wires (also known as guy or guide wires) can be strung through these openings to help carry the load.
