Guyed mast string lights, no concrete*
My son’s house, rental, big young family. Needed to make space by better utilizing the deck. Challenge was to put up some string lights, landlord said do what you want but no concrete. We got a Simpson EZ post and a 12’ 4x4 ran three strings of lights to the post on cable. One cable to an existing fence post (replaced rotted post dropped three bags of post mix) angles were a little off so made a tree saver and pulled it back to level. Gonna some shade triangles cabled off the post as well. Maybe not ideal, I know of the potential failure points but I slapped each one twice. Oh, and yes I ran the power through the porch light with an adapter. Costco play house on sale last month and the kids have been living out side! submitted by /u/Designer-Cause5351 [link] [comments]
