string lights under lattice type pergola

18 years ago

Maybe this should go in the landscaping forum. I'll try it there as well.

For months now, I have been planning a free standing pergola in one of the far corners of my backyard. During that time, I've searched magazines for ideas. One thing that always caught my eye, was a pergola with some type of string lights underneath. They never seemed to be placed at regular intervals, just strung a bit helter-skelter, but the affect is dreamy at night. Reminded me of hot summer nights in the 50s when you'd drive down the center of California on old Highway 99 with the windows down (auto air conditioners cost a mint in those days). Ahh, but I digress. . . .

What I'm looking to find are the lights. I'm trying to avoid Christmas lights, although, I'm not really sure why. Sometimes I've seen the kind I'm looking for in restaurants, but none of the personnell seem to know where they came from. I'm looking for ones that have individually replaceable bulbs - and the bulbs aren't too big.

Well, if anyone has any ideas about this, maybe you could point me in that direction. Thanks.
