I rent a small house that has a lovely back garden, but I really love the idea of building new garden ideas, and I don’t want to lose my deposit by doing something permanent. Luckily, when I found this awesome renter-friendly string light posts video tutorial by Heather Moxie DIY, on YouTube, I knew it would be perfect for my garden. This project will have all the charm of a built-in custom lighting installation, but you will be able to pick it up and move it when you go.

Materials For The Renter-Friendly String Lights:

• Kwikcrete fast-setting concrete
• Concrete mixing tools (a power drill with mixing attachment)
• A bucket
• Planters
• Water
• 2 x 2 posts (in desired height)
• spray polyurethane (to finish)
• Hooks and screws
• A string of lights (I found mine at Michael’s)
