• 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
