For our solar light, we mounted the lights on fence posts on either side of our patio. These are inside a gazebo tent we added. You can open the sides of the tent, which we do, and close it over the lights @ night. Must say these lights really look cool inside @ night. They are very bright, much more than previous we owned. They have a cool diamond pattern we really like w/ tent sides closed @ night. Our friends have noticed and asked where we had gotten these and want the same! Heavy duty, well made, great post fit, provide great light! Bravo and thanks!!
