INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Option 1 – Installation onto Wooden Decks Using Included Lag Screws

If your deck is not solid wood, please contact the decking manufacturer before installing to ensure proper installation. Here is the contact information for some popular composite decking companies: TREX (1-800-289-8739), AZEK/TimberTech (1-877-275-2935), Fiberon (1-800-573 8841), Veranda (1-800-230-7547)

Tools Needed:

• Drill or Impact Driver
• 5/16″ Hex Head Bit
• Included Self-Tapping Screws
• Marker to mark holes

1. Place the Wood/Concrete Base in the desired locations.
2. Using the included self-tapping screws, mount the base to the deck.
3. Assemble the pole into the base.

U-Bracket Installation

Tools Needed:

• Screwdriver
• Drill or impact driver
• Included screws

1. Pick the spot you want to install the bracket and mark the holes.
2. Mount bracket to the wall or deck.
3. Fit pole piece into the bracket and screw the rounded piece until the pole is secure.

Option 2 – Installation onto Concrete or Pavement

If installing onto pavement, note that hot weather may soften the asphalt causing the base to loosen or fall. Double check all fasteners regularly to ensure proper tightness.

Tools/Materials Needed:

• Drill (Hammer drill is ideal, but a regular drill will also work)
• Concrete drill bit 1/4″ in size
• 1/4″ wedge anchors (not included – may be purchased at most home stores)
• Marker to mark holes
• Method to clean out dust from holes (vacuum, air compressor, leaf blower)

1. Using the Wood/Concrete Base as a template, mark the holes onto the concrete using a marker. ***For exact precision, holes can instead be drilled while base is in place.

2. Drill holes into the concrete using a 1/4″ masonry bit.
   NOTE: Wedge anchors require holes to be drilled longer than the anchor itself. Refer to anchor packaging instructions to ensure minimum embedment requirements are met.

3. Clean out the holes using a vacuum, compressed air, or leaf blower

4. Put the nut and washer onto the wedge anchor and make sure that the nut is on the last threads (this will protect the threads from damage when the wedge anchor is hammered into the hole).

5. Insert the wedge anchor through the base’s hole and into the hole in the concrete. This should be a very tight fit – use a hammer to drive the anchor in until the nut and washer are against the base.
   ***It is important that the threads go below the surface of either the base material or the base.

6. Finger-tighten the nut, then using a wrench turn the nut 3 or 4 full turns until snug.

7. Assemble the pole into the base.

Option 3 – Installation into Ground

Tools Included:

• Magnetic Bubble Level
• Installation rod

Check for any underground pipes or wire before screwing in the yard mount.

1. Find a level area to install your yard mount and push the end of the screw into the ground to start the process.
2. (optional) Attach the magnetic bubble level to the top of the mount to guide you as you screw it in the ground.
3. Put the installation rod through the hole above the flange and spin it clockwise applying pressure until the flange is flush with the ground or until the mount is very secure.
4. Assemble the pole into the base

How do I secure the lights to the carabiner clips?
The two best ways to secure your lights are with zip ties or reusable rubber twist ties (you can find on Amazon, Home Depot or Lowe’s). Excello Global Products finds the black zip ties to be the easier of the two methods, but would require cutting the tie if you ever want to relocate them.

How do I determine my string light pattern?
The ideal design will start with asking yourself 3 questions:

1. What area do I want to illuminate?
2. Where is my power source?
3. Are there structures or trees that I want to attach the lights to?
   ***This will help you determine where you need to place poles.

Once you have these questions answered you can begin your design:

1. Start at the power source – this is often an outlet and might require running an outdoor-rated extension cord to where your lights will begin. If using your structure, be sure to have hooks installed to aid in installation.

2. Decide which pattern will best illuminate the area you need. Popular designs are V, X, W, and a Fan as seen below

3. Draw a rough sketch with measurements.

4. Start by hanging your first patio light string with the male plug end closest to your outlet.

5. If working with multiple light strings, finish hanging your first string and then connect the male end of the second string to the female end of the first string. Continue this pattern until all strings have been hung.
