Tips for Hanging Christmas Lights
1. Plan your design
Knowing exactly where you want your lights, how much space you need to cover and where you will plug them in is an important first step.
2. Measure
Measure the length of the spaces you are hanging the lights, ensuring to leave a little extra.
3. Invest in Clips/Hangers
Plastic clips are the best for outdoor lights as they attach securely to things like gutters and rails without damaging them.
4. Prioritize Safety
When using a ladder, make sure it is sturdy and that someone is around to spot you. Always plug lights into a GFCI outlet for ultimate safety.
5. Test Before Hanging
Plug in all light strands on the ground to check there are no faulty bulbs or torn wires before you begin hanging them up.
6. Go Vertical
Remember that you can also hang lights vertically up trunks and branches to add dimension to your outdoor light display.
7. Consider a Timer
Timers are great if you want to ensure that your lights are on and off at certain times of the day.
Conclusion
Christmas lights transform your decorations from dull to glowing in mere seconds. Getting your outdoor lights right is the first step to having an enviable light display that is festive, fun and enjoyed by all your friends and family. What are you waiting for? Get decorating and happy holidays!
