Hi there,
It looks similar this is the commencement Summer, later on to a greater extent than than 10 years of living inward this house, that we're going to bask our backyard! Puff, it's well-nigh time, wasn't it?
In the morning, this is my gardening space, every fourth dimension I'm watering the flowers I detect whatsoever excuse to come upward hither together with alter things around. And at night, it's the kids retreat, my boy is already a original setting the fire-pit together with believe it or not, he has prepared dinner correct here! I'm loving that. ;)
The deck was a large projection conformed of many footling projects that most of the fourth dimension larn lost, but today's post thankfully is non 1 of those forgotten projects thank you lot to Kate, a love reader who wanted to know how those lights were attached, together with well, here's the response inward example you'd wondered well-nigh it.
First, allow me larn dorsum to the initial edifice plan. --->
That excogitation included a privacy covert together with some high posts that I was going to utilisation to decorate amongst lights, bloom baskets, flags, etc. Well, every bit I told you lot before, the HOA didn't approve that plan. I had to get got excogitation B --> a uncomplicated railing closed to the deck. :/
At the time, I wasn't that happy, but directly I intend it was a practiced decision, those 4 x 4 posts were massive!
Time flew past times together with I establish myself adding all the decor pieces together with getting everything laid upward for the photograph shoot, but something was missing... The lights!
Yes indeed, lighting is together with then important! I stopped everything, went to the Home Depot together with came dorsum domicile amongst iii electrical conduit metallic element poles similar the 1 inward the motion-picture exhibit below. Spray painted them dark together with gave them to Mr. RLC to install inward the corners of the deck. I withal had a gazillion things to do, together with luckily he did a super task installing the lights. ;)

Well, Mr. RLC takes his fourth dimension when he's assigned a projection similar this. Precision is his top dog goal, fifty-fifty though he can't get got practiced measurements. :D
By the way, he's passionate well-nigh safety, if something calls for 2 screws, he drives four, only inward case!
The motion-picture exhibit higher upward shows you lot how he secured the metallic element pole to the deck. Those metallic element straps were repurposed pieces from a trampoline nosotros had disassembled. They were, inward Mr. RLC's mind, stronger than these regular straps I'm recommending:

I'm certain you lot already noticed my lousy pigment task on those poles. :D
Screw eyes were added at the top of the pole to concur the due south hooks on which the string lights hang.
He drove 2 screw eyes for me to get got 2 options. Hanging the lights at the really top looks better. ;)
It is a really tardily together with inexpensive agency to add together lights to your outdoor space.
And the poles are hardly noticeable from a distance.
