Install String Lights On Your Deck Or Patio

Warmer weather is almost here and I know you guys are desperate to get outside to enjoy it. One of our family's favorite things to do on summer nights is to sit outside on our deck with all those twinkling lights above us. It really is magical!

We installed string lights on our deck a few years ago when we built it, and let me tell you, it was one of the easiest projects we've ever done.

You can pretty much install lights anywhere you want! Of course, you can make this project as easy or complicated as you want. - Guess what? we went easy-peasy and super economical.
