DIY, no dig, hanging café string lights over our backyard. I am not a professional. This is the first time I've done this and I may have done something incorrectly or there may be better ways to do something. I hope this was helpful to someone or was at least enjoyable to watch.

Is the cable absolutely necessary?
@TheInexperiencedAdventures
@TheInexperiencedAdventures 2 года назад
The lights we bought were fairly cheap so we wanted the support of the cable. Using a cable isn't required but a guide wire does relieve tension on the electrical wire and allows you to keep the lights taught and hanging in the right direction. I am not a professional at this stuff and this is the first time I've done it but I feel much more comfortable with the guide wire. One of my concerns was wind destroying the lights, I don't worry about it with the cables.

No. I don't think this would last very long without the cable. Let's say I didn't use the cable, there would be a ton of tension on the light cord that could cause damage. There are also points of contact with metal that could cause wear on the lights. There may be lights designed to be used without cable, idk, but ours were really cheap and we want them to last. I watched a bunch of professionals do this and they all use a cable. I would recommend cable be used.
