Popular Post Ron Altier Posted August 14, 2018 Popular Post Report Posted August 14, 2018 My mind has been wondering again. I saw Walmart had those solar charged sidewalk lights for $1.00. I thought "why not make some patio lights. I used Cedar fence material and have made several variations. Some I just took the stake out and glued a string on to hang from above. Others I made small housing for and some have legs. Grandpadave52, Stick486, HARO50 and 5 others 8 Quote
DuckSoup Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 Great idea for repurposing material. Quote
IrishWoodCarver Posted August 14, 2018 Report Posted August 14, 2018 That is a great idea - I may just have to give that a try - great for patio - subtle lighting! Well done - thanks for sharing Quote
Ron Altier Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Posted August 14, 2018 Keep in mind that they are designed to shine the light downward. If you hang them up above eye level, such as sitting in a chair, the light can be too bright. I taped part of the lamp on the ones my wife put in a tree. But they are a nice addition to our patio. I did have to put some weight on them to keep wind from blowing them around Grandpadave52 and DuckSoup 2 Quote
