Litcher Globe String Light Suspension Kit, Outdoor Light Guide Wire, Vinyl Coated Stainless Steel Steel Cable，Include 150fts Transparent PVC and 304 Stainless Steel Wire Cable, Turnbuckle and Hooks

Perfect for setting up outdoor patio lights. Would buy again.

I’m glad I did some research on reviews and questions for this product. I saw rope lights on sale and bought 2 strings (96’) without knowing a thing about mounting them. Based on the reviews and product info, I found it was cheaper to order a kit like this one, instead of buying pieces-parts for the needed components. Secondly, I learned to buy everything in stainless steel since the support cable and hardware will be outside 365 days. The light strings themselves will come down for inside storage for the winter. To make the job of taking down / putting up easier, I bought some Wilbond stainless mini s-hooks (thru Amazon, of course) to use to hang the lights from the support wire. My lights have a small tab with a hole at each bulb. I placed one side of the S thru the tab, and crimped it down. The other side if the S was slightly crimped so as to still fit over the wire but narrow enough to resist minor movements of the lights during wind. Thus, they are easily removable/replaceable with the seasons. Before ordering, sketch out your layout, keeping in mind that where the light string(s) begin should be near your electric supply. Also plan on having some sort of switch to turn the lights on/off. Without a switch, plugging and unplugging will take a toll on the lights’ plug and the electric receptacle. The next couple of paragraphs describe how I laid out and installed the support wire. If you are already comfortable with how to build your plan, you my skip over them. In my plan, I needed to outline a rectangular area. So I began with sturdy screw eyes at each of the four corners. I selected the corner which was least obvious to viewing the power supply cord. On that corner’s screw eye, I attached two turnbuckles. Then i installed the “hump screws” along each side of the rectangle, between the corners, every 7-8 feet. Next the wire was strung around the perimeter, thru the screw eyes and hump screws, with the ends meeting in the corner nearest the power. Lastly, each end of the wire was passed thru the closed screw of the turnbuckle, clamped with a rope clamp, and the turnbuckle’s open screw hooked to the screw eye in that corner. You will need to use your own wits to figure the best way to remove the slack from the support wire as you are installing the turnbuckles. Do this before attaching the turnbuckle to the second end of the wire. A second person is valuable at this stage. I did it by myself by using the leftover rope clamps at each corner. Secure one end of the wire to its turnbuckle, go “upstream” to the next screw eye, pull the wire taught, then fasten a rope clamp to the wire on the “upstream” side of the screw eye. The clamp prevents the wire from going slack, slipping back “downstream”. Repeat at the next two corners. Now attach the turnbuckle to the second end of the wire, taking the slack out of the last section of wire with the turnbuckle. Finally, remove the three rope clamps that you temporarily used at the other corners. Finally, I’d like to point out that your pre-planning for locations of screw eyes, hump screws, turnbuckles, and clamps will dictate which of the many packages of hardware you should select. I did NOT plan in detail. I had a mental plan in mind, and figured that this package would fit the bill. It did not, exactly. I had a turnbuckle, 3 snap hooks, and 10 rope clamps extra, and needed to buy more hump screws.

Since I was not paid for this review, my “pay” is knowing that I helped someone make a good choice thru my experience.

Perfect product for light duty applications. Easy to use and install. I was able to cut the cable with standard wire cutters with little difficulty.

very easy to set up and install

I misread the application, and thought it would work on my Large Canopy. The product and shipping was fine, I just attempted to use on the wrong project.

The whole kit was less expensive than just the steel cable at the big box hardware stores.

Great product and had everything I needed to string our market lights above our patio. Could probably buy everything separately at Home Depot for a few dollars less, but it was very convenient to get this all together and have shipped to my house.

Packaged well. Very easy to install for my application. I used it to hang backyard solar lights across the yard.

Worked for holding up our 50’ mast

These have been the biggest paint in the ass. I live in Arizona with Temps upwards of 110. I have to have a sunshade for the dogs and so we use the heavy duty sun sails. I have set this up 3 different times and these stupid P.O.S. clamps have let loose and dropped the sail 3 EFFING TIMES. Idk if its the stupid smooth plastic coating, or the stupid ass design of these. It doesnt matter how many you add, how tight they are, they will fail, so do yourself a favor, go to the hardware store and spend 4 bucks and buy 8 little U shape rope clamps, and throw these stupid pieces of crap in thr trash.
