STRING AND BISTRO LIGHTS · RALEIGH, NC
String & Bistro Light Installation
GROOVEE Lighting hangs outdoor string lights and bistro lights over patios, pergolas and yards around Raleigh and Holly Springs, NC. Strands go up on posts, cable or the structure you have, pulled straight and set on a timer.
Strands hung straight, anchored to last the season and beyond.
String light installation is the fastest way to give a patio a ceiling. Bistro strands run from the house to posts, trees or a pergola, supported on a tensioned cable so they hang in clean lines and stay put in the wind.
A strand layout drawn for the patio, pergola or yard
Posts, eye hooks or a tensioned cable to carry each run
Outdoor-rated bistro strands in warm white or color
Runs planned to an outdoor outlet, cords kept tidy
A timer or smart plug schedule
A straight line from post to post.
Outdoor string lights look best when every run is straight and every drop matches. That comes from the support. A steel cable pulled tight between anchors carries the weight, and the strand clips to the cable.
Where there is no tree or wall in the right spot, a post goes in. Where there is a pergola, the strands follow the beams. The layout is drawn at the estimate visit so you see the zigzag, the crisscross or the perimeter run before anything is hung.
Priced by the run and the support it needs.
The price follows the length of each run, the posts or anchors it needs and the strand you choose.
A pergola with beams to follow takes less hardware than an open yard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you install outdoor string lights I already bought?
Yes. We hang strands you already own and quote the support hardware and install after seeing the strands and the space.
How do you keep string lights from sagging?
Each run hangs from a steel cable pulled tight between anchors, and the strand clips to the cable, so the line stays straight.
Can you hang string lights without trees or walls to attach to?
Yes. Posts go in where the layout needs an anchor.
Can string lights go on a pergola?
Yes. The strands follow the beams or run across them, clipped to the wood.
Can string lights run on a schedule?
Yes. A timer or smart plug turns them on and off at the times you pick.
