I'm curious to find out about how long these will last? 1 year? 2? 5? Are they easy to hang? Say from an awning? Thanks!

If they are good batteries they should last a year or more, very easy to hang very soft nice light glowing colorsI had about 12 of them in my backyard last year, from an awing you might have to use a flexible wire to make a good hook connection however, if a storm comes up with high winds I would take them down or heavy snow The glass panel is easy to wipe off with a soft cloth or I use my finger�

The drop is adjustable as others have stated. This is not an expensive awning, fabric is inexpensive and the hardware is lightweight. I can state that the fabric fades quickly, have had mine for less than six months and the portion that is exposed when rolled up is visibly different. Still a great value for the money. I have tapped the end of the awning tube and added arms for support. Would not trust this in a wind. I don't see this lasting 5 years, but if does, I'll be delighted. Just make sure you have a very sturdy attachement point. Good Luck.

just put mine up but I plan on keeping them up all year. Im in PA so it will get crappy outside but they are "outdoor" speakers so if you can mount them under something for alittle protection they should be ok. They sound great for the $$ by the way.

I think they will be great!! Ours have only been up for about a month-we have them in our gazebo. It is all open. We love the shades. Good quality.

Hi, I sent these back because there was no hole or anything to hang them up with. I bought these for my sons posters and I bought Velcro removable poster stickers instead. I got them right here on Amazon and the posters are still up. Check them out. Hope this helps.

Sure, I hung mine using thin stainless steel cable. No worries, you just need to be creative on attaching them. BTW, these lights failed after about 6 months.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

I had the same problem, so when I wrote to the company, I asked them about using poles to hold up the awning. They said it would be fine, so that is what I have been doing. If you can find a way to make sure it holds if there is any wind, it would be the best way. I use rubber cane tips on both ends of the poles I use. Hope this helps.

You will need to buy the awning attachments with "S" hooks. They slip into the awning track. You can get them at Walmart in the RV section or on Amazon. Then you can hang the cord onto the hooks. This is a great string of lights.

For temporary hanging, I hang mine with curling ribbon and tape them to the ceiling with scotch tape (taped in an X over the ribbon). I tie the ribbon to the hook at the top of the lantern and then tape the other end of the ribbon to the ceiling. They last for several days hung this way. The lanterns are light so the tape is all it takes to hang them as party decorations. I have textured walls and everything- scotch tape does the trick.

They hold up fine in wet weather as they are an outside shade. I have 5 on my deck and it's rained several times and I've had no issues thus far.

Our awning came with instructions for mounting on cement. Most homes in the U.S. are not cement. We bought bolts for the wood frame and re-enforced with another 2" board. It hung with ease - a 2 person job. This is the 2nd summer to use our awning. Other than the fact that the fabric faded quickly, the awning has been useful and easy to operate. Unlike Sunsetter or better brands many parts are plastic and require more delicate handling.

Ellen, I installed 2 6' black iron pipes on my deck where the front of the awning ends. I attached them to the deck with flanges and put a PVC T on the top. I added industrial strength velcro on the T and the front of the Awning. I also have 7 mounts holding the awning at it's anchor point. The tubing they made this unit with is sub standard for the weight it has to hold. If I could upload a picture for you I would but don't see anywhere here to do so. motorhogman at yahoo if you want to email me and I'll send you some pics of my modifications.

I think it would depend on location and surface... I actually bought them to hang Christmas lights on the porch, and they held for a little over a month, but then just started filling off. Don't know if it was because of freezing temps, or not a completely smooth surface - or a combination of both...

I hang them were ever I can; but not in trees. Afraid that they would get too tangled. Hope it helps. Tim

it is easy to hang. you can use a tree branch, a nail. I hung it in the grape harbor at home. I also hung one up camping on the outhouse. Worked great.

I brought them recently winter for Christmas and it's still up on my ceiling. It still works. Almost 6 months and going.
