String Light Ideas, explained.
String lights are the fastest way to make a backyard feel like an evening out. These designs zigzag them over dining terraces, run them along pergola beams and pool fences, and anchor them to posts where there is nothing to hang from.
Use warm, shatterproof bulbs on a dimmer and hang them high enough to walk under. Save the layouts that match your patio's shape.
