Here is another how to hang strings lights with another product that I like way better than Cotsco. Has way more features! Check it out after this one!
• Honest Review and "how...
One thing I did before I mounted everything was hang the lights the way I was thinking I wanted to hang them to make sure I didn’t have extra lights or came up short when stringing it along. Once I hung the lights in a way that I knew would be perfect I then decided to mount everything and hang lights.

    Great job and thanks for the tips on how to place them so they are not permanent. As a renter, this is very handy especially if a bad storm is heading in. By the way, I am typing this as Hurricane Hilary is expected to hit California. Sending good vibes your way that you & your family stay safe. Edited to add that you could always spray paint the clamps to blend in & they won’t be so noticeable.

    Little S hooks! That is how you connect the circle on the string of the lights to the wire. Loved the video. My parents hung there's by the lights itself from the roof to the gazebo...they fell ....glass everywhere!! Definitely learned the hardway 😅 Also they do sell kits but you could also look at said kit & buy just what you need. 😉

    There is a cap that you plug into it which will cover the outlet if you don’t plan on using another strand of lights. I ended up wrapping it with electrical tape to make sure no water gets into it.

    It’s probably just the camera as I filmed it all with my phone and it autocorrects. Another person emailed me that he bought a dimmer to connect to his lights so he can adjust the brightness. So there’s that option if it is indeed to bright for you.

    ​@@MiezProductionlooks great. However after having these Costco lights for 3 years, the bulbs frequently burn out and they shatter because they eventually weaken from UV leaving shards on the ground - these will be in your pool. I'm going to do the same project but run solar lights. Safety and reliability concerns are reduced. However, it looks fantastic the way you have set it up.
