Ancectree String Light Hanging Kit，Guide Wire for Outdoor String Lights,Vinyl Coated Wire Rope Wire Cable Outdoor Light Guide Wire,Include 182fts 304 Stainless Steel Wire Cable, Turnbuckle and Hooks

My husband and I installed the wires and attached two 48 bulb light strings in about three hours. I did do some planning/layout work in advance. In general the kit is impressive and flexible and saves what is likely several trips to the hardware store. We only augmented the kit with a couple of items for our particular implementation - we wanted a thicker cable with a thicker plastic coating for the part that went around the tree to protect the bark more, supported by a couple larger hooks screws into the tree. Also, while we used the enclosed twist ties to attach each of the lights, I dont know if they will last - they are pretty light duty. We augmented with zip ties and added tape to the cable at the ends/turns to prevent sliding. As mentioned in some other reviews, we struggled getting the clamps on the wires because the holes were too small. Smart hubby used a 7/64ths regular drill bit on the holes and everything was easy after that... Probably a minor risk that the holes are no longer smooth and could cut into the vinyl coating after a while, but since they are clamped down now with the screws think it will be fine. The vinyl coated write cable and other accessories seem to be good quality.

Easy to install wouldn’t trust a heavy set of string lights

The wire that comes in the pack is too thick to fit through the adjustable locking device

I was provided two bags of the same pieces, and I’m missing screw eyes lag thread, eye straps, lag screws, and plastic anchors.

First - there is a recent review by Sean indicating the wire rope doesnt fit. It DOES fit if you strip the vinyl coating off. Ill note is the same for most wire rope terminations with vinyl coated wire. Once you strip it off (I used a utility knife and vice grips) you can easily create terminations. Overall really great kit to put up string lights - really is everything you need to put up a set at a really great price point. Noteable: - The 130 pieces are black twist ties not zip ties - I had thought they were zip ties think its reasonably clear if you read more but I missed it when I looked at the picture. In the end think the twist ties work better than the zip ties. Cons: - Lack of instructions (see first item) - think if youre reasonably familiar with wire rope you can fake your way through it but some guidance on what recommended interconnections to use (ie turnbuckle vs carabiner vs hook vs eye strap) - I used mostly turnbuckle to hook but in retrospect turnbuckle to eye strap may have been a marginally better choice. - When you cut wire rope the end will try to fray which the kit didnt provide anything or any instruction on how to deal with that - I used cable end caps from the bike parts bin but think tape works as well

Arrived with wire but missing all the components.

The kit is really well priced for stainless hardware. The long cables can be used for several different installations. I used this to put shade cloth over my back yard and it really does the trick. The hardware is a bit smaller than I expected but its adequate for the application. I avoided using the screws included as they didnt seem big enough to hold the tension. The cable clamps look tiny but work surprisingly well.

I used the wire kit to hang the outdoor patio lights and it couldnt have gone any smoother! All parts were included (and then some!) to do the job quickly and easily. Nice kit!

Works as intended. Enough accessories to make your job work

It made the lights look great. No sagging and kept them out of peoples way.
