DIY Workshop: Solar Light Posts

Sunset doesn’t need to end your backyard fun. Keep the party going long after the sun goes down with our DIY Solar Light Posts. In just a few steps you can design a solar light station to fit your backyard and summer activities.

This DIY project can easily be customized to match your style or the space that you’d like to light. We used a single 4×4 fence post, cut in different heights and these solar lights, available from the Home Depot. You can put your own creative spin on this project with a different post layout, solar light to match your style, wood stain, or maybe custom paint to match your shed.

You can get started with our DIY guide below, then design a set of solar light posts to fit your style. Don’t forget to share photos of your finished project and tag us. Happy building!
