why dont hang on walls?

Would these lights be decorative or would they provide the main lighting for your porch? My recommendation is to install surface mounted fixtures or perhaps a pendant for your main light source. If this provides enough lighting I might dispense with string lights. Those tend to look better as purely outdoor lighting.

I apologize. i misunderstood my friend. this is a covered outdoor space. does this change anyones thoughts?

The question remins the same is this for actual lighting or for decorative strings? I find string lights a bit tacky for more than a fun accent in a back yard or for Christmas decor.

If you search on Houzz for "outdoor party lights" in Photos and you will get lots of examples to give you some ideas.

I love the look at night in the photos, but can never commit to having to look at them during the day when they aren't as pretty.
