If you love the look of string lights around an outdoor patio but don't have anything overhead to hang them from, this video shows you how to use shepherd hooks on a deck handrail to hang your lights! Great project for spring, summer or fall! A free list of materials needed for this project are on my blog! checkinginwithc...
I fallowed your video set by set . I put up my lights all around my deck and they look beautiful! I get a lot of complements from my neighbors. Thank you so much for sharing!
Aww yay! Thanks for sharing that, Sandra! ~Chelsea
@@Checkinginwithchelsea my pleasure 😇
Are you going to turn them on?
aha!! That's what I thought at the end! I'm like, "Why are they off in the final scene?" lol
@@MrJmayes23 They are on just very faint. I guess some people like that look but my family does prefer the brighter look.
Great video! One thing you could do if you wanted to make the task a little easier (if you have a railing) would be to use deck bird feeder poles-- basically sheperd's poles that are made to clamp onto the top of a deck, instead of planted in the ground.
Great idea with the Shepard hooks!
Dang girl you are good! Nice professional job!!! Looks beautiful!
Turned out nice but I like brighter light. But I have a stucco wall....what do you recommend?
Do you have any pictures of in in the daylight....I could not see the overall picture at the end of the video which left me wanting ......????
How did you find the studs on your soffit? Assuming you need to screw the metal pieces into wood.
I did not screw into studs. ~Chelsea
Thanks great idea 👍😀
This is great but I have tried composite railing I need another option on how to mount help pleas
We got ours from Costco and you can see them from a mile away!!
What length/tall were the Shepard Hooks that you used?
Cool idea, our deck isn’t enclosed fully but there’s two 6 by 8 ish walls on the beginning of the sides with checker board framing on their top thirds, so we would hang them from there across the top of the deck wondering about any suggestions on how to hang them ? Potentially a few brackets and hooks is all we need but not sure. Thanks.
Exactly what we needed to see for our outdoor string light project. Thank you! We will go with a brighter bulb option, but other than that we plan to duplicate these steps exactly.
Awesome! It's worked out great for us! ~Chelsea
How long where you sherpard hooks???
what size conduit straps did you use? What length hooks did you use?
I wish I could see how it looked from a little distance with the flowers in the daylight! They only show it in the night and it was quite dark
I’m thinking of using shepherds hooks to hang string lights around my grill patio. I’m gonna our the hooks right in the ground. I have some solar ones around my hot tub and they light up fairly bright. No more cooking in the dark!
What size conduit straps did you use?
They are 1/2"! ~Chelsea
This is a great idea. Shh, don’t tell your dad. 😉. Thanks for such an easy to follow “how to”.
Ha! Thanks Sally! ~Chelsea
what part of this looks "easy"?
The shepherds hooks are a bit “bouncy” when moved. Do the lights come off or have they stayed well?
Yes they were a little bouncy. I adjusted how much of the string was between each hook until the hooks didn't move anymore. I also wrapped it around the hooks a time or two. The lights have stayed well!
Do you have problems with hooks going up and down?
This was great!
Where can I buy those metal hook post things?
At the farmers market in South Pasadena.
Just get clamping hooks and avoid like 90% of the work?
In the tutorial video it doesn't even look like the lights are turned on. They look like they're off. 🤔 Great video up until that point.
LOL, as SOON as the power tools came onto the screen you lost me.
Why complicate it? Used bird feeder poles...perfect easy 🎉
good job, I also light led bulb string light, and we will have led bulb string light battery powered soon, More convenient and brighter
Not the best explanation how- very vague video work
Shepheard's hooks look so trashy, really shoddy work. And if everyone else hasn't said it enough, the super budget lights chosen are severely too dim.
