The key, obviously, is power and having something strong to hang the lights on. I strung my lights between two trees and our porch. Springs were key...especially with moving trees! If you don't include the springs the line could snap. I used 1/16" line which has held up well. This temporary solution became permanent. A lot of people have asked me about "weather proof" connections. I didn't weather proof any of them...never had an issue. I used cafe lights from Cost Plus World Market. I am not including link because i do not recommend them.
