Quick Tip #5 – Lighting the Deck

I’ve been wanting to add lighting to my deck (on the cheap). I bought 2 strands of large lights after Christmas for .80 cents each and used cup hooks to hang them from the deck.

It’s looking really good during the day, but I can’t wait to see it at night. Don’t pay any attention to the deck, I know it needs to be re-stained. Focus on the lights!

They light the stairs perfectly.

I can’t believe how bright it is. I’m going to love sitting out here in the evenings. In fact, the family tried it out for a few minutes tonight.

Here’s another view just for fun. Isn’t it great what you can do with $1.60 in lights and a package of cup hooks?
