Practical setup of solar garden lights, mounting, placement, and micro-siting for sun and safety.
About
I test stakes, fasteners, and placements in real soil and real weather. My guides cover tools, spacing, sun mapping, and maintenance so your lights work the first time and the tenth storm.
Background
After a windstorm tossed half my test lights, I realized stakes fail before batteries. I started pre-drilling frozen soil, setting gravel collars, and mapping sun paths with chalk. A neighbor's wobbly set became rock solid and still lit after snow because placement and mounting mattered as much as panels and lumens.
Perspective
I prefer hardware with metal stakes, replaceable batteries, and serviceable seals.
