Thread: Hiding your lights and extention cords

Tweet

As I start to light my displays, I'm trying to think of the best way to conceal the extension cords so they are not strewn all over my lawn. What does everyone do to hide their lights and extension cords?

I use dark green or black outdoor ext. cords. Floods are hidden behind tombstones or in bushes. I have three blue floods that are somewhat exposed out of necessity but other than those you can't see any other fixtures or cords.

I use my magic wand!

I use green or brown cords, except where I think someone might "cut thru" the yard, then it's orange.

I built some PVC arches this year over my sidewalk so that I can run cords through the PVC to get to the park strip.

Actually PVC is a good idea. You can paint it to blend and bend.

I just go around the public parks and collect fallen leaves.

I've also been known to knock on the doors of neighbours with particularly beautifully coloured fall trees and gather those too. I bring back the garbage bags of leaves and scatter them all over my extension cords and then hope for no big wind storms...lol

Not fancy but it works...

I use green cords and fallen leaves. I have about 100 light up items in my display so I know the pain of hiding cords. All you can do is your best.

Nice. Clever and environmentally friendly. Lmao

Yep same here. My neighbor is a landscape dude with his own company and every year he brings me my bags of leaves works great for hiding the cords n stuff and very natural
