Tips on Installing Rope Lights Outdoors


by DoItYourself Staff

Rope lights are lovely in the winter, but can also provide beauty and functionality throughout the year. Rope lights are especially useful in outdoor settings. Whether you live in a warm or mild climate, the lights can add whimsical charm to your outdoor decor or increase visibility in your outdoor living space. Available in a wide range of colors, rope lights will suit most any color scheme and can be found at local retailers as well as online.

Light Up Your Gazebo

Adding rope lights to your gazebo doesn’t just look fabulous; the lights add a warm glow to the outdoor area and make entertaining at night quite a bit easier. 

Bring Your Balcony to Life

If you have balconies in your home or live in an apartment with a balcony as your only outdoor space, rope lights can add a festive look.  Rope lights really add to the ambiance of balconies and railings and give off a soft glowing light.

Rope Light Chandeliers

With a few items from your local home improvement store, you can create beautiful and modern rope light chandeliers.  The pendant lights are not only stunning; they add a luxurious appeal while offering a great deal of light.  Grab an extension cord, some zip ties, and ceiling hooks and create an amazing outdoor chandelier.
