The background music is nice. It keeps the install calm and I am not getting yelled at for holding the flashlight wrong. At middle age, this woman can do this! Thank you for the instructions!!!
Brilliant. I finally understood the exact and completely opposite end configuration on each side of the cable and why. My question, you stressed the importance of having a tight globe strand (black) wire. Why? I understand that a tight base (silver) wire is important so that it doesn’t move much (I think) but why do the globes have to be tight, can’t they be loose and hanging like upside down waves?
I really liked this! I'd love to see what your lights looks like at night 🌙 I have a set of color changing ones that I'm wanting to put up and would a reference
I have an outlet in the backyard, however it will not reach the string lights that I want to hang on the fence. What is the best way to get power over there? I heard extension cables are dangerous and should only be used as a temporary thing such as christmas lights. Thanks!
Type UF cable. 12/2 with ground or 14/2 with ground ran underground. Otherwise you need to hire an electrician to bury conduit and run wire to a box to add an outlet. You need to add an outdoor receptacle either way with gfi protection

Thank you! I don’t know why it never occurred to me that I could shorten my strands by using electrical nuts. I appreciate the video.

Perfect installation! Thank you so much!
Nice job ! I've installed battery powered & solar string lights and I used the zip ties that has a screw hole in them .

Do you not need to use an anchor for the screws or apply any type of sealant prior to screwing them in?
Nope this is going straight into wood
This video was super helpful. Thanks!
Very helpful--thank you!
great job
Very helpful.. Thanks much!
How would you install on plastic siding? Will it crack or cause siding to come off?
I’m assuming it’s covering wood. Might want to do a test drill and see what’s behind it. Wood is ideal to anchor this and get the line tight.
Can you drill straight onto the vinyl siding?
Yes there’s plywood framing behind it

I have 3 places to attach around house but no where to put a post or light or a planter. My question is how far can you stretch guide wire across?
You’ll have to test it, but probably 10 feet
Those are masonry anchors that came with your kit
Mine just lights first bulb any advice?
What’s the outlet plug called I don’t see it In description

You really only needed one tensioner here at either end of your line.
I found shorter runs of line sag less overtime
Way too much work.
