How Do You Hang Outdoor String Lights on Brick?

Hanging outdoor string lights on brick can add a festive touch to any outdoor space. Whether you’re having a party or just want to create a cozy atmosphere, string lights can do the trick. With the right supplies and a bit of effort, you can hang your outdoor string lights on brick walls in no time.

The first step is to purchase the supplies you need. You’ll need brick clips, plastic anchors, screws, and of course, string lights. Brick clips are designed specifically for hanging items on brick walls without causing any damage. Plastic anchors are used to secure the screws into the brick. Make sure to buy screws that are long enough to go through both the anchor and the brick clip.

Once you have all your supplies ready, it’s time to start hanging your lights on the wall. Start by determining where you want your lights to be hung and mark those spots with a pencil or marker. Then use a drill with a masonry bit to make holes for your plastic anchors at each of those spots. Insert the plastic anchors into the holes and then screw in your brick clips with enough pressure so that they’re securely fastened to the wall but not too tight that it might chip off any of the brick.

Finally, attach your string lights to each of the brick clips using zip ties or hooks (depending on what type of clip you purchased). Make sure that your lights are evenly spaced out and that they look aesthetically pleasing before securing them in place.

Conclusion:

Hanging outdoor string lights on a brick wall doesn’t have to be difficult or intimidating! With some basic supplies like plastic anchors and bricks clips as well as some patience and effort, you can easily hang up beautiful outdoor string lights in no time!
