https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M6RS2LC/
- We love connecting string lights to this smart outlet
- Works with all of the smart home systems and nice mobile app
- Requires waterproof outdoor outlet
- The outlet hangs down like this
- You can tack the outlet to the wall underneath the outlet to make it more secure

Poles
- Wooden poles are possible (pressure treated or redwood)
- We prefer using steel gas pipes or electrical conduit, since them feel more sturdy
Brackets
Make sure the size of the brackets match the size of your pipe
- For the top of your pipe to connect the support wire too, something like this

- For securing your pipe / pole to a fence or other structure for extra support
