FAQs

How tall are the festoon poles?

The poles stand at 160cm (1.6m) above the ground once the 16cm ground spike is inserted.

Are these poles suitable for all types of ground?

They are best suited for soft ground such as soil or grass where the spike can be easily inserted. They may be less stable in very hard, rocky, or paved surfaces without additional support.

Can I leave these poles outside all year round?

Yes, they are designed for all-year-round outdoor use with a weatherproof, powder-coated steel finish.

How do I assemble the poles?

Each pole comes in two pieces that simply slot together. No tools are required for assembly.

What is the warranty period?

Information regarding warranty is typically provided by the retailer (Lights4fun.co.uk) at the point of purchase or on their official website.

Can I connect multiple sets of poles together?

These poles are individual units designed to be placed at set distances. They are not designed to be physically connected to each other.

What is the weight limit for lights on each pole?

The product information does not specify a weight limit. It is recommended to use standard-weight festoon lights and ensure the poles are securely placed to avoid excessive strain.

Troubleshooting

Pole is unstable in the ground.

Ensure the ground spike is pushed as deep as possible. If the ground is very soft, consider adding a flat stone or paver beneath the spike for added support, or choose a different location.

Two pole sections won't connect.

Check for any debris or obstructions inside the pole sections. Ensure they are aligned correctly before pushing them together.

Surface rust appears.

Light surface rust can sometimes occur on the steel. This can typically be gently removed with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution. Ensure the pole is dry afterward.

Lights are not evenly spaced.

Adjust the positions of the poles before fully securing them. Measure the distance between desired anchor points and space the poles accordingly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates elegant and easy display of festoon lights.
  • Durable and suitable for all-year-round outdoor use.
  • Simple two-piece assembly requires no tools.
  • Provides a significant height for light placement.
  • The black finish is unobtrusive and complements garden settings.

Cons

  • Requires firm ground for secure and stable placement.
  • Maximum height is fixed; not adjustable.
  • Limited to displaying only festoon lights.
  • The set includes only 5 poles, which may not be sufficient for very large areas.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack the two pieces for each shepherd's hook pole.
  2. Insert the top section into the bottom section until securely joined.
  3. Identify the desired location for each pole. Ensure the ground is relatively firm.
  4. Push the ground spike (16cm length) firmly into the soil until the pole is stable and upright.
  5. Repeat for all 5 poles, spacing them as needed for your festoon lights.
  6. 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.
