Frequently asked questions
How many outdoor Christmas lights do I need?
A rough estimate: 100 lights per vertical foot of tree, 100 lights per 10 feet of roofline, and 50 lights per shrub. Run a test layout before committing the strands.
Are outdoor inflatables safe in wind?
Most inflatables are rated for up to 25 mph winds. Stake every tether point, deflate them in storms, and never place them under low tree branches that could puncture the material.
How do I plug outdoor decor without an outlet outside?
Use an outdoor-rated extension cord run through a weather seal at the door, or install a single GFCI outlet on the porch: the safest long-term solution for any holiday display.
