Hi there,
It looks similar this is the commencement Summer, subsequently to a greater extent than than 10 years of living inward this house, that we're going to savor our backyard! Puff, it's most 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 upwards hither as well as modify things around. And at night, it's the kids retreat, my boy is already a master copy setting the fire-pit as well as believe it or not, he has prepared dinner correct here! I'm loving that. ;)
The deck was a large projection conformed of many niggling projects that most of the fourth dimension larn lost, but today's post thankfully is non i of those forgotten projects cheers to Kate, a honey reader who wanted to know how those lights were attached, as well as well, here's the response inward instance you'd wondered most it.
First, allow me become dorsum to the initial edifice plan. --->
That excogitation included a privacy covert as well as some high posts that I was going to usage to decorate amongst lights, bloom baskets, flags, etc. Well, equally I told you lot before, the HOA didn't approve that plan. I had to accept excogitation B --> a unproblematic railing around the deck. :/
At the time, I wasn't that happy, but directly I mean value it was a proficient decision, those 4 x 4 posts were massive!
Time flew yesteryear as well as I institute myself adding all the decor pieces as well as getting everything laid upwards for the photograph shoot, but something was missing... The lights!
Yes indeed, lighting is as well as therefore important! I stopped everything, went to the Home Depot as well as came dorsum habitation amongst iii electrical conduit metallic element poles similar the i inward the pic below. Spray painted them dark as well as gave them to Mr. RLC to install inward the corners of the deck. I yet had a gazillion things to do, as well as 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 principal goal, fifty-fifty though he can't accept proficient measurements. :D
By the way, he's passionate most safety, if something calls for 2 screws, he drives four, simply inward case!
The pic higher upwards 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 southward hooks on which the string lights hang.
He drove 2 screw eyes for me to induce got 2 options. Hanging the lights at the really top looks better. ;)
It is a really slow as well as inexpensive means to add together lights to your outdoor space.
And the poles are hardly noticeable from a distance.
The umbrella is the other rootage of lighting that I'm loving!
They genuinely exercise a magical atmosphere!
