Step 6Install and Enjoy
If you're in the northern hemisphere, find a good south facing spot for the solar panel near where you've decided to hang the arbor lights. My brother nailed the panel to the south wall of this kids' playhouse.
We actually started the install on the far end of the arbor and put the panel up last, but before we did anything we just lay it all out on the ground below. Once the lights were positioned roughly where Michelle wanted them, it was time to start hanging the lights. While Ted got up on the ladder and put a nail in the arbor, I would wrap about a foot of wire around the neck of the bottle. Then we hung each one, moving back towards the planned destination of the solar panel.
Once all the bottles were hung, the panel was nailed to the wall and we were done!
