Outdoor Festoon Lights

You have a number of options when it comes to hanging outdoor festoon lights, so get creative. 

• Guide Wire Systems: Ideal for permanent installations, guide wire systems involve threading your wire through eye hooks across your wall or fence. 
• Adhesive Hooks: A temporary solution, these adhesive hooks are perfect for parties.
• Tree-to-Tree: Attach your lights from one tree to another with cable ties and bungee cords.
• Festoon Poles: Get creative with your display and hang your lights from freestanding festoon poles.

Whereas string lights typically feature smaller bulbs and thinner wires, festoon lights are characterised by their heavy-duty design. With thicker wires and larger bulbs, festoon lights are more durable and offer fuller coverage than smaller outdoor fairy lights and string lights. 

Festoon lights take their name from the Latin word ‘festum’, meaning either 'feast' or 'festival'. Recognised for their distinct bohemian look, outdoor festoon lights offer your space immediate style.
