Outdoor string lights are an easy way to add a little ambience to your outdoor spaces. They work great with pergolas, around fire pits, and patios.

Update more outdoor areas with these ideas: Hide outdoor eyesores, build a pergola with swings, and build a pallet deck.

With a large patio, string them around a pergola and around all deck or patio areas. The great thing about using lots of lights, it ensures that you can have lighting in all areas.

A different pergola, but it still looks great. Add hooks to the bottom of a pergola to hang lights. This can also work under a patio covering.

Here is another look at how to add those the hooks and lights to a modern pergola.

Pergolas can also add lights through the slats at the tops. Again using hooks or weaving within the slats.

Add string lights to a fire pit for extra light and ambience

No pergola? Use posts in the ground or even in pots to add lighting wherever you need it. Then string up the lights on the poles.

Which is your favorite set of lights? We love that there is so much variety to fit all of the styles.
