Area lighting

I finally got the chance to install my outdoor area lighting. I did some research and couldn’t find anyone that used the same materials the same way I envisioned, so I thought I’d post here and help anyone that was struggling to make decisions. In short, my setup was relatively inexpensive, easy to install, easily removable/repairable, looks pretty good, and seems structurally sound. I used 10’6” chainlink top rail for the posts and post mounts (Lowe’s). Thin stainless cable between the posts (eBay). I cut a top rail into 2ft sections and buried them in concrete - this was my in-ground post mount. From there, a full 10’6” top rail slid into the mount. I struggled to get the information I was looking for, so ask me any questions you might have! Good luck! submitted by /u/justsomeguyoukno [link] [comments]
