YQL Outdoor String Lights Hanging Kit,Globe String Lights Suspension Kit,164ft Black Vinyl-Coated 304 Stainless Steel Cable,String Light Guide Wire,Hook & Eye Turnbuckle Wire Rope Tension

Loved the versatility of the pieces in this kit. We had everything we needed to hang our lights securely. I was a bit skeptical about the twist ties and how they will hold up over time, but they seem very sturdy. We just had some bad weather with strong wind gusts, and our line had no problems weathering the storms. I would absolutely buy this kit again.

As described

Great set. The wire quality is excellent and and hardware is perfect quality. Bought this set for string lights and it is excellent.

The media could not be loaded. I noticed many older reviews mention weak screws, turnbuckles that lacked the ability to pull due to sloppy threads, and more.I didn't find any of those problems. In fact, I was happy to see all stainless hardware and found it worked well. There were only two problems with my kit, one of which I could have prevented, one is I'd call a problem with the parts.The twist-ties were the weakest link. About a dozen of them had the vinyl cover separate from the wire as I twisted them (for the first time) around the light string I was hanging. But there are a LOT of them in the kit so I didn't mind.The screws, turnbuckles, carabiners (spring clips), fastening loops and anchor loops all held up well. Except for one incident.One of my 3 runs (all about 20 feet / 7 meters) split where the wire coat separated from the wire. Since the wire coat is pretty thick, even when screwed down hard (or perhaps TOO hard) the bight (loop fasteners) lost its bite and my closed end came undone. I was able to fix this rather easily because I still had sufficient slack to make a new bight.Some hanging tricks I learned:First some terminology... I'm referring to the following parts by these names;turnbuckle (the long piece with an eye on one side and a hook on the other) - open it nearly fully.anchor (the U shaped piece that is held with two screws to the anchor point - e.g. tree, decking, etc),bight - a loop in the end of the wire cablebight clip - a small piece with two small holes that the cable can pass thru, and two small screw that are used to tighten the wire into the clip. The bight clip is used to make a bight in the wire.carabiner - an O shaped closed loop with a spring loaded "gate" or opening. The large end is attached to the anchor, the smaller end is where the "bight" goes.1. Fasten the anchors first and make sure they are fully snug.2. Create a loop through the eye of a fully extended turnbuckle and hook it into the anchor.3. Stretch the wire to its other anchor point4. Clip in a carabiner (spring fastener) to the anchor.5. Cut the wire leaving about a foot (10 cm) of slack - enough to make a loop around the carabiner and back through the bight clip and then some. Do not tighten the bight clip screws.6. Grasp the free end of the cable with pliers (vice grips) and begin pulling.7. When nearly all the slack is gone, tighten down the bight screw on the long side of the cable about an inch (2cm) away from the carabiner.8. Pull more firmly and then tighten the other side of the bight clip. You should leave a loop that isn't closed around the small end of the carabiner9. Give the whole thing a small tug.10. Rotate the turnbuckle to remove any obvious slack, but don't overdo it. There will be more slack/sag once the lights are hung, and perhaps more over time.11. Hang your lights using the twist ties as described in the instructions.12. Use the turnbuckle to remove remaining slack - but don't expect there to be no sag. In fact, if you end up with a fully shortened turn buckle and there is still too much sag, you'll need to loosen the turnbuckle and go back to the other end of the cable and remove more slack.13. Once all looks good, trim off all but the last 1/2 inch (1cm) of cable... BUT NOT BEFORE HAND... you may need to do more stretching!If you don't expect to ever take down the wire cable, you don't need to use the carabiner - the slack removal would occur around the anchor.The only problem I ran into was that the bight around the eye of the carabiner broke free. This is because the insulation separated from the wire.I did a little digging, too, and I'm not convinced you can get all the parts for a significantly better price - the only way you might gain some savings is by buying only exactly what you need - in my case I'm glad to have some extra bight clips, anchors, turnbuckles and anchors.Oh, by the way, if one end of your wire is a tree... I'd suggest you leave plenty of slack, otherwise wind will definitely break something!

Nice variety of hardware to help hang patio lights.. I found the hardware to be of good quality. Comes with steel/metal twist ties.

Product worked perfectly. 10/10 would recommend.

Used this to hang triangle canvas and made it so easy , wire is good quality

Love this kit! My patio lights were so basic-looking, and this system elevated it to professional standards. Highly recommend!
