Backyard fairy lights in zig-zag pattern

I was thinking to add some warm vibes to our backyard whilst Alfresco had the lights but backyard was a bit dull at night times.

 

I thought of adding fairy lights strings, so did this small, quick and inexpensive project which has added the needed vibe into our backyard.

Steps

Step 1

1. Roughly measure the backyard lights pattern to get the right size box of lights

 

2. Color the timber pegs

3. Install hooks on the timber pegs

 

4. Nail them to the fence post

5. Put the lights in zig-zag pattern
