Outdoor patio lighting is an interesting subject since all the typical alternatives like pendant lamps and chandelier don’t generally apply here. Thus, you need an alternate strategy to give brightening to open spaces, gardens, decks, patios, and other outside zones. As a result, bistro lights are surprisingly great at that. Moreover, they’re also flexible and versatile, which means you can make some extremely marvelous design themes with them.

How To Plan Your String Light Installation


Outdoor String Light Conceptualization

How about we start with a couple of tips for hanging outdoor string lights. Firstly, in case you intend to hang various strings and crisscross them, you will want to have a design plan in mind. Before having us hang your lights, you should search around and recognize any trees and existing surfaces that you can tie them down to.

Do whatever it takes not to overthink this procedure. Typically, the least complicated arrangement is also the best.

How to figure out the amount of patio string lights to use in any given space?

Initially, you need to measure the space, which we typically do prior to giving a bid. The initial step to an impeccable porch light plan is ensuring you know the dimensions of your space. After that, we prescribe drawing a rough sketch of the region where you intend to hang your lights and writing the measurements on your sketch for reference that you can use later. Moreover, this sketch will prove to be useful when you pick your hanging style, which we will talk about further in the following section. Also, part of what makes patio string lights so engaging is the regular curve formed by the strings. To ensure you have enough length to represent the swag in your light strings, we include 2 – 6 feet of length to your estimations and buy strings that concur with those final numbers.

How To Choose The Best String Lights

The nice weather inclines us to spend more time outside. Invest in ambient outdoor lights to keep the party going beyond the night. String lights in the garden or on a patio can lighten up a place and make warm nights more pleasant and festive. String lights are available in a variety of designs, bulb kinds, and colors. A single string light set may transform your outside area, whether you connect it to the railing of your balcony or deck or hang it beneath patios porch. They’re popular for summer weddings and showers, but brightening up your garden doesn’t require a special event. You may spend long peaceful evenings with friends and family beneath string lights, eating meals, and roasting marshmallows over the fire pit.

What To Consider

You might be shocked at how much information you need to know when purchasing outdoor string lights. Decide whether you want incandescent or LED lights after calculating the distance you need to cover. If there isn’t an available outlet and you don’t want to deal with an extension cable, a solar- or battery-powered set is your best choice. When a single set isn’t enough, you’ll want the option of an end-to-end connection, but keep in mind the maximum wattage and the number of sets that may be linked together. That's why it's best to leave it to the professionals.

We also consider the number of lights per strand—and how far apart they are set, which can range from several inches to three feet or more. Finally, consider aesthetics: Cords are available in various colors, and bulbs range from vintage-style Edison to frosted globes to novelty, all made of glass or “shatterless” plastic.

We are very passionate about educating homeowners. From design ideas to hiring a contractor, we hope to be your next choice when you bring light to your patio, backyard, fire pit, outdoor kitchen space, event, or venue.
