To purchase lights i needed to know how long i would need, so using string I map out the best continuous path with the most coverage total was 16.3m, before the next step i also added foam spacers and hook and loop to keep the panels together in the future step
Replace the string with double sided tape, for the corners 90° 1 vertical 1 horizontal piece and 180° 2 vertical pieces and 1 horizontal piece
Peel the tape backing off and add the light, starting at the cut end not the solar panel end, be mindful of the starting point if you need the solar panel to be coming out the top or bottom of the panel. The lights are 20m so i had extra so i did a full border aswell adding another 3.5m bringing the total to 19.8m
Cut down the tunnelcore panel to match the matrix panel, add the hook and loops ( my method i added them to the matrix panel hook and loops first with the sticky side facing out and line up the tunnelcore panel and press down)
Measure and drill holes for the hooks, I drilled and then screwed the top screws first both hooks, then hung the board and leveled it, removed the board and drilled bottom holes and add screws
Hang the board and position the solar panel and wait for the night then enjoy
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @RWatts . It's wonderful to have you join us and many thanks for sharing your creative project with us.
What a clever way to transform the Matrix Monstera wall art into a striking illuminated feature. I really like that you took the time to map out the light path with string first to make the most of the 20m light set before committing to the installation. Using the Tunnelcore panel as a backing to conceal the wiring is another great idea that gives the finished project a really clean, professional appearance.
Your step-by-step instructions are easy to follow, and I'm sure they'll inspire plenty of members who are looking for a unique way to light up an outdoor entertaining area or garden.
Many thanks again for sharing this fantastic project with the community.
