Great idea. I was thinking that you can hang Christmas lights for the holidays. Halloween lights etc. For parties you could tie party balloons or banners for special occasions. The ideas are endless. Thanks for making this video.❤️
This is a great idea... I was wanting something to hand shade sails...but do not want them up in the winter. I am thinking these might work perfectly for one side.. Would attach the other side to my patio or gazebo. Thanks.
This was such a great idea! I found it while searching how to string patio lights. I already have my supplies from Lowe's except for the hooks have to go back and find those.
Rather than using the metal vertical pipe could you use PVC pipe or will it be too flimsy? Maybe if we went up to 2 inch pipe in the ground in a 1 1/2 vertical?
All PVC pipe, all galvanized pipe and all conduit comes standard in 10 foot lengths. In this video, she said "pipe," however, conduit is a much better option as its cheaper and much lighter. Hooks come a wide variety. Just buy thw style hook that is long enough to go all the way thru the conduit so it can be tightend with a nut. Don't over think this simple project.
Great idea. But I’d like mine to be up all year round. This may not work for that purpose and the winds here in CT are just too strong. Indeed great idea for summers only.
Great video!! Also saw the video form last year that used the 1.5in PVC and 1in pipe but the 1in PVC and 3/4in pipe should work just as well. I have a 18 x 20 concrete slab patio I'm going to hang lights similar to yours and about the same height on three sides. I noticed you have a stop pin at the bottom of the poles. Did you buy stock 10 foot pipes and use a stop pin so 1 foot of the pole is in the ground and 9 feet above? Each 10 foot pipe is about $33 and using 7 will be about @230 so before I buy them all I want to make sure I have the lengths correct. Thank you, John
Don’t go for the smaller pipes (i.e. 3/4” pipe), unless they are really close together. My poles were 22 feet apart and bent really bad using conduit. Ended up using 1 1/4 inch conduit pipe and 1 1/2 inch PVC. It supported my light string which was heavy with mosquito repellent jars on light set. Tiki brand light set.
In one of your other videos on string lights you said to use galvanized conduit for the poles. This video looks like you used PVC pipe. Which one has worked best for you?
What kind of hook + hex nut is that? I was at lowes and couldn’t find anything like it and couldn’t get anyone to help me. All the ones I found have the closed loop rather than the open hook.
Do the poles in the ground cause people to trip over them? I can see myself or the kids playing in the yard tripping over them. How do you prevent this?
My wife has been asking me for these lights and poles for 2 years. This seems to be so simple, now I have no choice but to get it done!
Great idea. I was thinking that you can hang Christmas lights for the holidays. Halloween lights etc. For parties you could tie party balloons or banners for special occasions. The ideas are endless. Thanks for making this video.❤️
Just did mine except I put the Quick Dry cement around the PVC PIPE in the ground. Thanks for such a great idea.
Great tip... and one that im gonna use.. greetings from Ireland 👍🏽

Can you please also add the links for the parts that you used for this project? This is an excellent idea!
String lights are great and all but that garden tho!!!
Great idea😊
Toni - YOU’VE made String Lights easy & affordable!!

Genius! We’re doing it exactly like that in our yard!
You just saved me a gang of money...thanks!
Heck yes! IM DOING THIS TOMORROW
Absolutely awesome idea. Love it! Thank you for sharing it !
Fantastic solution, thanks for posting
Genius!! Love it!
Thanks for the great idea
Great idea
Pretty awesome idea. I wish I would have seen this video before I did the whole bucket and cement one. Next time, I'm doing it this way.
Did you end up using the PVC for vertical or did you use the metal pipe?
Any concerns regarding lightening with a metal pipe or is it grounded?
I’m SO doing this! Thanks 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Best idea ever! Thank you!
Genius… thank you so much for sharing!
Great DIY String Light project! Could you please provide information like the length of the poles and pvc pipes, and the size of the hooks. Thank you

True genius!!!
This is PERFECT. Thank you!!
Genius!!! Thanks
Great Idea thank you
Love this!!
Genius!!
Genius! Thank you!
brilliant
Such a great idea!
Brilliant!
Where are the measurements tags that she mentioned in her video?
The silver pole..isn’t that electrical conduit instead of a plumbing pipe?
That's what it looked like to me too

thank you so much dear, exactly what I need to do
Great idea. But I’d like mine to be up all year round. This may not work for that purpose and the winds here in CT are just too strong.
Indeed great idea for summers only.
Why didn't you show them lit at night
would you be willing to share the paint/stain color used on your garden beds? Thank you!
How long was the pipe ?
Could use a link to the hooks and nuts for this project, thanks.
Genius ❤️
Could you share your website so I can see all supplies?
My area is 18’ x 15’. You used 1 1/2” and 1” in your other video. You use 1” and 3/4” in this video. Which do you suggest would hold up better? Thanks
Trying to get lighting ideas for an adult birthday party
Great video!! Also saw the video form last year that used the 1.5in PVC and 1in pipe but the 1in PVC and 3/4in pipe should work just as well.

How do you add the hooks?
In one of your other videos on string lights you said to use galvanized conduit for the poles. This video looks like you used PVC pipe. Which one has worked best for you?
Any concerns regarding lightening with a metal pipe or is it grounded?
The 3/4” inch plumbing pipe that I bought will not fit into the 1” PVC pipe that I bought. I will try a 1.5” PVC pipe
What kind of hook + hex nut is that? I was at lowes and couldn’t find anything like it and couldn’t get anyone to help me. All the ones I found have the closed loop rather than the open hook.
Where there is a will, there IS a way !
I’m concerned about lighting and the metal poles

My fire pit is far from the house. I thought these lights were solar 😢
Get yourself a lapel mic, some are bluetooth and can work with a phone.
I don’t like new plastics? Bye bye!!
Great idea,,,
Also beautiful women;))
