How to transform your yard into a winter entertainment space

Just because the weather is colder doesn’t mean you have to spend your evenings indoors. The cooler weather can present a golden opportunity to make use of your yard without worrying about the heat and the insects that come to crash the party.

Solar string lights are the perfect way to bring your yard to life on those winter nights. They can be a permanent installation, charging during the day and glowing brightly at night.

LED fairy lights from our range have been designed for the outdoors and are completely waterproof, plus there is no battery that can become damaged and need replacing. All you have to do is install them, let them charge in the day and provide you with gorgeous lighting every evening. Some of the ways you can use these solar strings at your home include:

• Create an outdoor dining area: Alfresco dining has become a popular way to enjoy time with family and friends or to entertain for a special occasion. You don’t need to spring for an expensive restaurant when you can turn your own home into a five-star experience. Hanging these fairy LEDs over your dining table creates an ethereal feeling, provides soft lighting and the perfect ambience.
• Turn your trees into works of art: There is no better way to bring your yard to life than to string LED lighting through a tree. During winter, when the leaves have shed, your lighting will dance through the bark to create a gorgeous yard ornament. It is straightforward to install these LEDs. Simply purchase hooks and screw them throughout the branches, then weave the string through.
• Dress up your gazebo, patio or verandah: If you would like to enjoy your outdoor space while still having shelter, these options are perfect for giving you the best of both worlds. Weaving these solar LEDs through these structures gives you beautiful soft light that is entirely powered by the sun, creating a visual setting and saving you money at the same time.
• Create a magical fairy garden: If you have children or entertain friends with little ones, the sky is the limit to what you can achieve with solar strings. You can wrap the swing or kid’s cubby house for a magical effect that encourages night play while you prepare the meal and entertain friends. You can light up gardens, create “waterfalls” – the only limit is your creativity.

Create the illusion of fire, without the flames

Winter is a time when flickering fires are a perfect companion when you are relaxing or entertaining outdoors. However, not every yard is allowed to enjoy a roaring fire pit due to local government restrictions, neighbour complaints, or simply because it creates too much of a hazard.

Solar-powered flame alternatives create the same ambience without fire or smoke so that you can enjoy the soft flickering light without any concern for your safety or a fine in the mail.
