How do I string paper lanterns overhead?
I'm hosting a rooftop party and I want to string some paper lanterns overhead. I have two questions...What kind of wire should I use and how can I attach it in a temporary way? (I want to use individual lanterns with LED lights as opposed to lantern string lights that have to be plugged in.) Also if anyone has any ideas about what I could attach the wire to that would be helpful as well. There are a couple tall stairwell structures I can use, but most of the deck just has a low four foot railing. I was thinking about trying to erect a couple tall poles at the corners, but I couldn't think of how to do it. Thanks!
To put tall poles at the corners, get some lumber in an appropriate size such as 2x2. Fasten those to the railing wherever there's a sturdy upright part, using cable ties, big ones. The really big ones are expensive but you can join two smaller ones together for length. Use several on each 2x2. I suggest those because they're quick to install, and are least likely to damage anything.
For wire, just use baling wire, available at any hardware store. Wrap it around anything a few times, twist it around itself and it will stay there.
