There are several patterns to choose when it comes to hanging party and patio lights. Most light patterns will work perfectly anywhere, so the choice can be purely aesthetic. First, decide if you want your patio lights to hang taught or if you'd rather they create a sweeping effect across your space. Once you have decided how the strings to dangle, choose a pattern and measure accordingly. In some cases, you may need to use strings to show accurate measurements of the space by displaying the way that you would like they to hang.

Straight Lines Pattern For Patio Lighting

Straight lines as an elegant option using for anywhere. If needed, shorter strings can extend from one point to another across the space and longer strings can be doubled to form small V'. Consider to creat a unique checker board pattern by crossing vertical and horizontal strings above your space or lifting light strings in the middle to form a tent.

V Pattern Patio Lights

V patterns start at a central point, usually a tree or pole and can even start on a building and spread out. This lighting pattern can be created with one long patio lights string to make a simple V or several strings can be connected in the middle of point and anchored separately at various end points to create an umbrella effect.

X Patio Lights Patterns

As the picture shows, X patterns are just that! Cross lights at the middle to form an X at the center. This usually works perfectly when wires are pulled tight. You can also create a diamond effect above an outdoor space by combining multiple X's in a row.

Simply Pattern Patio Lights

Sometimes the simplest pattern works perfectly when hanging your patio lights. Simply find your ideal location, and drape lights across! This can be done along pergolas, fencelines, or from tree to tree. If there are not posts or trees, they can be created by connecting posts or poles into flower pots to create a hanging surface.
