Holiday Lighting

3 Types of Holiday Light Fasteners to Use

The holiday season is upon us! Bright smiles, festive cheer, and the inevitable tangle of holiday lights that grow each year while in storage. Many homeowners can relate to the struggle of wrestling with unruly lights, only to face the bigger challenge of choosing the right holiday light fasteners. Will this year finally be when those lights stay up straight? At ArborLawn, we understand this all too well and are here to illuminate the perfect holiday lighting solution for you – three, to be exact.

Understanding Your Exterior Needs

Before buying holiday light fasteners, it’s crucial to evaluate your home’s exterior. Gutters, eaves, window frames, and roofs offer unique challenges and opportunities for successfully installing your dazzling light display. Plastic clips can attach lights neatly along gutters, while suction cup hooks work wonders on smooth surfaces like window frames.

3 Types of Fasteners

1. Gutter Clips

The trusty gutter clip is a holiday hero. This plastic fastener effortlessly holds onto the edges of gutters or shingles without causing any damage. They’re particularly useful for creating clean lines of lights, ensuring every twinkle is precisely where it should be.

2. Adhesive Hooks

Adhesive hooks are incredibly versatile and work well on surfaces where clips aren’t an option. Be sure to use weather-resistant varieties to withstand Lansing’s unpredictable winter weather. Always follow the adhesive instructions to ensure a lasting hold, and opt for removable options to avoid any residue or damage post-season.

3. Staple-Free Solutions

Avoid entanglement with staple guns, which may damage siding or roofing. Instead, consider using wire ties or cable ties to secure lights on railings or around columns. These can be cut easily when it’s time to take the lights down, making them a reliable, temporary solution.
