Atmosphere That Sells

🔧 DIY Tips
Installing festoon lighting yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Commercial-grade festoons
- Appropriate fixings
- Eye bolts or hooks
- Tensioning wire if spanning
- Outdoor extension if needed
📐 Installation steps
- Plan layout on paper first
- Install mounting points
- Run support wire if needed
- Hang lights with even spacing
- Test all bulbs work
⚠️ Critical points
- Must be outdoor-rated lights
- Connections must be weatherproof
- Don't overload circuits
- Consider wind loading
💡 Pro tip: Use wire support for long spans. Festoons sag over time - cable takes the strain, not the lights.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do the electrics?
Physical hanging and installation only - we hang the lights and connect to existing outdoor sockets. New circuits or outdoor power supplies need an electrician. We can advise on requirements.
What about weatherproofing?
Commercial festoon lights are designed for outdoor use. We use appropriate fixings and routing to ensure lights stay secure in weather. IP-rated connections where needed.
Can you install to different surfaces?
Walls, posts, pergolas, dedicated poles - various mounting options. We assess what's best for your space and install accordingly.
What length runs?
Most standard commercial runs. Very long installations may need multiple circuits. We can do most beer garden and patio setups.
