Patio String Light Pricing

Patio string lights are in a wide range of prices. It all depends on the length of the string lighting, the quality of the lights, and the source of where you're getting your string lights. The cheapest patio string lights that you can get will cost you around $15. These are often the unique and fun designs that creative and artistic people will like. An example of this is a trout fish patio lighting system. Though they may have a more homemade look to them and the quality may be a bit lower than other ones, the crazy designs themselves may be enough to warrant a purchase. Most patio string lights will cost you an average of $50 or so. This is considered a midrange price. You'll get good quality lights and decent lengths (maybe up to 100 feet). If you want to go on the more expensive route, then you can purchase solar patio lights and dazling elegant party lights (for the upscale houses and such) for $80-150. The cost of this will probably pay for itself, however, considering the prestige and savings (from the solar lighting) you'll get over time. If your house is really large, or else you have a oversized patio, then you can get bulk patio string lights for around $200 or more. You'll often get 500 or 1000 feet of string lights for this price.

More Interesting Patio String Lights

Here are some more unique patio string lights that you may be interested in. The ones I'm describing can be found here.

So, the next one I found is this adorable yet manly fish patio string lights. I do believe it is a trout. The lights are fashioned as an articulate trout in the form of patio lights. At only $25, this is a steal if you're a big time fisher. And hey, this type of patio string light will be good all year around. Another one that will attract a lot of people is the copper lantern. Yes, it's a common lantern, but this patio string light is no where near a Halloween lantern. It reminds me of a chinese samauri lantern to tell you the truth. It's gold and copper plated, has glass (or plastic that looks like glass), and is very simply yet elegantly designed. Another great deal as it's very reasonably priced. If you want to go for a more tropical environment, then why not get a pineapple patio string light? Though the one on the site I referred you to looks rather cartoony, I'm sure you could find other pineapple patio string lights at other stores. You may also find other tropical fruits as patio lights as well. This string light would make a great addition to your patio if you have a house in Florida, Hawaii, or any other place that's lucky enough to have a house constructed in such luxurious real estate. Or, if you want to bring some of that goodness to your desert and temperate climates, all the better.

Some Types of Patio String Lights

The first kind of patio string lighting that catches many people's attention is a lantern patio string lighting. Yes, you may be thinking that this is just for halloween. And you know what? You're right! But, these are a must if you're going to impress (and maybe scare away) the neighbors and kids that will come to your house, however fleeting the time may be. You'll often find a good long set of 10-15 lanterns on the patio sting lights for around $50. A little more expensive than your normal Christmas lighting, but it'll be worth the extra dollars. Oh, and some people do choose to have lantern patio string lights on their deck all year around.

Another kind of patio lighting that may catch your attention is a bamboo type of patio string lights. These offer the ambiance and culture of Asia, and maybe a little of South America. If you live in the south, then these patio sting lights are going to fit right in. If you want to be weird (that's okay too), go ahead and put these up if you live in the north. Ah, but you can't beat the natural and primitive look of the bamboo patio string lights. This will definitely be an eye opener for the passerby and guest.
