Just A Little Something For The Deck That We Threw Together

It's been hot and rainy. We decided to step away from painting and try something a little different. 

We put this together in less than an hour. We started with 2 fence post, 4 solar outdoor lights, a drill, 8 extra long screws and an 8" long scrap of treated 4" x 4" wood.  

First we decided on the length we wanted to cut the post. This will vary depending on where you want your lighting to go. We cut 4 varying lengths. After trying a few unsuccessful ways to put it together we found that a 4" x 4" block would be needed in the middle of the fence post in order for the lights to fit. Next we drilled 2 holes in each post to counter sink the screws. 

Listen to us talking construction talk! 

Screwed it all together then drilled holes in the top of each  post to fit the light in. 

Once the heat and rain slacks off the deck can finally be stained.
