Mounting globe string lights on brick metal and stone.

We were referred to you by your customer service (phone) person. We are planning to use this product to provide overhead lighting on our patio (approximately total length = 53.5 feet). The design plan is a triangle that runs from the corner of the house (stucco over concrete block), to a palm tree, to a cleat mounted on aluminum frame of screen room, and back to the start (stucco over concrete block). Our question: Do you have suggestion(s) as to the best way to secure the start/end of the light string to the house. We were thinking a (boat) cleat, but thought you might offer a better option than wrapping the wire ends around a cleat. Also, with a custom length, is it possible to have a run of wire (from the plug to 1st light and from last light to wire end) without lights? Thank you.

Take a look at the porcelain aerial mounts in the electrical section at your local Home Depot or Lowes. They come in various sizes and mounting methods. These will give you a solid mount and a insulated mount as to isolate the aluminum structure from being entergized.

Since the sockets are molded you may have to splice the wire to accomplish your goals.

Thanks for shopping with us and we look forward to serving you.
