Product Information

Full details

This guide is for individuals looking to easily and attractively hang festoon or string lights outdoors without permanent fixtures. The key benefit is providing a stable, elevated display for garden parties, weddings, or everyday ambiance. A potential caveat is that the poles are designed for ground insertion, requiring suitable soil or lawn. These 160cm black shepherd's hook poles offer a weatherproof, year-round solution to elevate your outdoor lighting with a simple ground spike for stability.

FAQs

How tall are these poles?

Each pole stands at 160cm (approximately 5.25 feet) when assembled and fully inserted into the ground.

Can I use these poles for heavy lights?

These poles are designed for standard festoon and string lights. They are not intended for very heavy lighting fixtures. Always ensure the weight of your lights is suitable for a stable display.

Are these poles suitable for all weather conditions?

Yes, they are constructed from tough steel with a weatherproof black powder coating and have an IP44 rating, making them suitable for outdoor use year-round in various weather conditions.

Do I need any tools to set them up?

No, setup is tool-free. The poles feature a ground spike that can be pushed directly into the soil or lawn.

What is the length of the ground spike?

Each pole includes a robust 16cm (approximately 6.3 inches) ground spike for secure anchoring.

How are the poles shipped or packaged?

The product contains two poles, and each pole consists of two sections that you assemble by twisting together.

Can I use these on a patio or deck?

These poles are designed to be secured into the ground with a spike. They are not suitable for patios or decks unless you have a way to safely anchor them, such as through planters or specialized bases (not included).

Troubleshooting

Pole is wobbly after insertion.

Ensure the ground spike is fully inserted into the soil. If the ground is very hard, slightly moisten the area around the spike. Check that the two pole sections are securely twisted together.

Rust appearing on the poles.

The black powder coating provides rust resistance. Minor surface rust can usually be gently removed with a soft cloth. For significant rust, consider applying a compatible black metal paint suitable for outdoor use.

Ground spike is difficult to insert.

Select a spot with softer soil or lawn. Lightly watering the ground beforehand can help. If the ground is extremely hard or stony, consider an alternative location or a different method of securing the lights.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides a stable and attractive way to hang outdoor lights.

Durable, weatherproof construction for year-round use.
Adds height and ambiance to outdoor spaces.
No permanent fixtures or walls required.

Cons

Requires suitable ground (lawn or soil) for stable insertion.

Primarily designed for festoon or string lights, not heavier fixtures.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

Unpack the two poles. Each pole consists of two sections that should be joined together. Twist the sections until they are securely connected.
Identify a suitable location in your lawn or soil. Ensure there are no underground utilities before inserting.
Firmly push the 16cm ground spike into the soil until the pole is stable and stands upright.
Repeat for the second pole, ensuring an appropriate distance based on the length of your festoon lights.
Drape your festoon or string lights between the two poles.

Compatibility:

These poles are designed to hold standard festoon lights and string lights. They are not intended for heavy-duty lighting fixtures. Ensure the weight of your lights does not exceed the pole's capacity for stable display.

Care:

To maintain the weatherproof finish, periodically wipe the poles with a damp cloth to remove dirt or debris. While the powder coating offers rust resistance, avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Store indoors during extreme weather if prolonged exposure is a concern, though they are designed for all-year outdoor use.
