Install Pergola Bistro Lights

What happens here

Install the bistro string lights under the pergola. Begin by determining the desired pattern (e.g., straight lines, zig-zags) and how much sag you want in the strings. Secure the first end of each string to a sturdy part of the pergola structure using hooks, eye screws, or zip ties. Carefully unroll the string lights and attach them along the pergola beams, spacing the attachment points evenly to support the weight and maintain the desired look. Ensure all bulbs are in place. These lights typically plug into a standard outdoor GFCI outlet or can be wired into a separate low-voltage system if compatible and desired.

Goal: String and secure bistro lights to the pergola for overhead ambient lighting.
