Thanks for this video. I had hung lights with a very long span and initially tensioned them with the electrical line between the lights. I wan't comfortable with this and needed a fair amount of tension to keep the lights high enough.

One day later I saw your video and instantly recognized a great solution. I used your hardware link (already had the lights). Everything arrived the next afternoon. Within less than 30 minutes I had 3 lines (40 foot each) up, strung the lights, and had a much more professional installation with virtually no tension load on the electrical components.

Thank you for taking the time to document this, upload it, explain it, and link the hardware. Less than 24 hours between watching the video and the whole system installed.

I’ve watched many videos on how to hang these lights. Yours is, by far, the best. Simple without over-engineering the project. I installed mine today after purchasing all the hardware. Even with a small yard I t took all day but I did it by myself It looks absolutely fantastic, super clean and professional. Thank you so much for this video.

Nice! Very good idea with the cables and the Hog Rings, thanks for provide all the links of what we need.

[karenschwartz]

Thank you so much. We have the same lights and wire but didn't know what to use to connect the two. Hog rings are what we need to know

New sub here! Came to the channel to see how you built a rag rug loom, and saw this string light tutorial! Excellent channel! Thanks!

I'm watching your video because I have to install these lights kinda often. I have to say... We used to use wooden poles like that before with triangles at the bottom to keep them erect (which was gaudy as hell) and had to place plants all around those to cover up the triangles. I have just switched to using galvanized fence poles instead with little eyelets at the top. It has upped my lighting game tremendously. I also don't even bother with the steel cable but I guess if I had to do longer runs of them I would. I just use a zip tie to secure them to the poles. Anyways, like I said I've been installing these kind of lights now for about 4 years and still learning. Happy to see someone else's version.

I think I got those same string lights at Harbor Freight.

Great Job!

Great 👍 awesome 👏 thank you for the fantastic video

[moniquebarreto]

Thank you so much!! just bought these exact lights and didnt know how i was going to hang them up.

[AndreyNabutovsky]

regular pliers works even for 1/8 cable! great tutorial

5:10 For stringing the lights onto your cable, I gotta recommend the mini carabiners that come with other Amazon kits. SO much easier to deploy than zip ties or crimping cable.

Oh I can definitely do this! This is beautiful!!!! Thank you

It’s Jan 2022…this will our project this spring…Thank you !

Zip ties are plenty strong enough for hanging the lights. I have a very large back yard and have a couple hundred feet of string lights like these all over the back yard. I used zip ties without any issue.

[ejayj]

Thank you for the tip...I'm going to surprise my wife..

[ellamae]

I wanna do this for my dinning room since my ceiling is too high and i feel like this will give good ambiance and character to my dinning area.

Great video man. Wondering if stringing the cable through the hole above the lights would work instead of zip tie. A little more work on the ground but might be worth not having to use zip ties. Just a thought.
