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.

The Idea of putting the wire rope through to make them more rigid was a good touch. Thanks for the video

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.

You should at least mention using a GFCI receptacle. Line voltage strung over a pool is a recipe for disaster.

Does GFCI solve that totally? Like if one of those falls in the pool and it’s plugged into GFCI will it not kill everyone?
Spiders are sick you better watch out 4 the eggs Marty. I'll just be chilling with biff . Nice video BTW I just got chosen to hang sum for the forth and I have no idea what or how I was gonna do it, now I know exactly what I'm gonna need to grab now and hopefully I will be able to put out a some nice content of my own.

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. 😉
Looks amazing! I have the same Costco lights and wondering-- is the end of the light (the part that connects to another set if you need it longer) waterproof/okay to be left in the rain?

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.
Wow
The lights look great. Question: the lighting im looking for is what you had @ 6:40 but I noticed as it got darker the lights became brighter @ 7:09. Im not sure if it's your camera angle but if those lights remain the way they are @ 6:40 as it got darker, ill be making my purchase tomorrow. May you please confirm? Thanks

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.
The spider comments killed me 😂
I placed these beautiful lights on my balcony, but they are too bright, can they be dimmed ? I have the switch but don’t know if they would work. Thank you

I had to buy incandescent Edison bulbs for a film job and they have a Dimmer/timer switch (24. Bucks but worth it…2,4,6 & 8 hours w a key fob). Wish I could’ve bought your Cisco ones “Safer” than glass.
Im planning to do the same over my pool so it was great to see how you did it. Are you happy with the height of the lights? Mine will probably end up higher up because of my house height

We have a pool but unfortunately we cant install it across because according to the instruction you cannot install across any pool or spa for safety reason...So, we end up going around the pool with a few distance away from the pool... in circle but not across... it works and still bright!
Can you provide link or list to/of all the hardware you used please?

Looks good are you worried about the possibility of electric shock to some one in the pool if an accident happens?

@@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.

Thanks for the Informative Video, to ALL the DAss Comments, HE is a GROWN MAN ... We just got SAME set SAME Place, hanging across Patio OVER Hot Tub, Wondering What GAUGE WIRE You used? We are attaching UNDER an Over Hang COVE that is HARD to Drill into, YOUR IDEA Saves Our Ass's, so we only have to Drill on either END ... Thx ... P.S. I was Born in Sun Valley, grew up in the Valley, Porter Ranch, SIMI and Ventura ... While watching, I commented look's like Simi Valley, 5 sec later YOU said SIMI, My Son cracked up ... Had any problems with Weathering on WIRE? Currently in UT, facing SOUTH, Summer Blazing, Winter SNOW ... Maybe look for a TREATED Wire? THANKS!

Sorry a little late on this reply. Im sure your light are already up. How did it come out? That’s way cool you recognized Simi. How is it living up in Utah? Definitely a change from the valley/ Ventura county haha

Supposed to be at least 12’ above the pool, just saying. But the good thing about electrical shock is you won’t feel it
GFCI outlet? 😅

First thing I noticed was those lights across a pool. That looks very dangerous. Did your home insurance go up after this video? Don’t let your home insurance company find out lol.

omg your not kidding!!! china is crap with its hardware.
Hahaha. The smart way? Why not hand everyone a plugged in toaster before they get in that pool. Psh
