Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Unpack the two pieces for each shepherd's hook pole.
- Insert the top section into the bottom section until securely joined.
- Identify the desired location for each pole. Ensure the ground is relatively firm.
- Push the ground spike (16cm length) firmly into the soil until the pole is stable and upright.
- Repeat for all 5 poles, spacing them as needed for your festoon lights.
- Drape and secure your festoon lights between the hooks at the top of each pole.
Compatibility:
These poles are designed primarily for hanging standard festoon string lights. Compatibility is highest with lights that have loops or designated hanging points on the cable or bulb holders. They are suitable for use with lights that are designed for outdoor use and have an appropriate IP rating.
Care:
- Wipe clean with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the powder coating.
- While weatherproof, prolonged exposure to harsh elements like salt spray or extreme humidity may eventually affect the finish. Periodic inspection is recommended.
- During very high winds or severe weather, consider temporarily removing the lights and poles for safety.
