How Do You Attach Outdoor Christmas Lights to Brick?

Attaching outdoor Christmas lights to brick can be a daunting task. The thought of drilling holes into the bricks and then having to patch them up once the holidays are over can be intimidating. Fortunately, there are several different methods for attaching your lights without the need to drill any holes.

Cable Ties

Cable ties are an easy and effective way of attaching lights to bricks. To begin, simply use a cable tie to attach one end of the light string to the brick wall.

Then, thread the string through the bottom of the cable tie so that it is held tightly in place. Repeat this process for each set of lights you would like to hang on your brick wall.

Adhesive Hooks

Adhesive hooks are also great for hanging outdoor Christmas lights on brick walls. Simply peel off the adhesive backing, and then firmly press it onto your chosen area on the wall.

Make sure you press firmly so that it sticks securely in place. Then, use a hook or string of lights and attach it directly onto the adhesive hook.

Masonry Screws

If you don’t mind making small holes in your wall, masonry screws are a great option for attaching outdoor Christmas lights to your brick walls. Start by drilling small holes into your chosen area on the wall and then insert a masonry screw into each hole. Once all of your screws are in place, simply wrap a section of light around each screw and pull tightly so that it is held securely in place.

Conclusion

No matter which method you choose, attaching outdoor Christmas lights to brick walls can be done quickly and easily without damaging your walls in any way! All you need is a few basic tools and materials, such as cable ties, adhesive hooks or masonry screws.
