Product Details:

Our festoon lighting and fairy light pole hire kits are 3.2 metres high which provide enough height to still have sag in the lighting cables over long spans to comfortably clear crowd height.

The Festoon Pole hire kit for installation in soil comes with 2 star pickets that are placed into the ground creating a column which the festoon pole is then secured into using zip ties. You can use your own zip/cable ties or select the option to include them with your pole kit hire.

IMPORTANT Transport Information: Due to the 3.2m length of the lighting pole, a suitably sized vehicle will be required to transport it safely if you choose to pick up your order from our warehouse. Please measure 3.2m on or in your vehicle or trailer before arriving to collect to ensure that you can transport the equipment appropriately.

Instructions are provided at the time of delivery or pick up. Please ask our friendly team if you are unsure about the installation process and we’ll gladly assist.

We suggest using at least eight 4.8mm x 30cm zip ties per pole (3 top, 2 middle, 3 bottom) to secure the pole to the star picket column safely. Choose to have zip ties included when adding this item to your cart, provide your own or order a bulk pack here: Zip Tie 100 Pack

A Clamp and Shackle Assembly is included with each pole kit hire to safely, easily and quickly attach festoon, fairy lights and more. The clamp can slide up and down the length of the pole to easily change the clamp height.

Festoon Pole and Ground Stake Kit Includes:

1 x 3.2m Structural Aluminium Pole
1 x Clamp and Shackle Assembly
2 x 1.8m Star Pickets
1 x Star Picket Column Spacer
(Zip/Cable Ties if selected)

For accurate installation of the star picket column we recommend adding the “Star Picket Driver” to your order for easier installation of star pickets in soil. Using normal hammers can take longer, damage the picket and cause the picket to insert on an unhelpful angle.

For quick removal of the star pickets, we recommend adding the “Star Picket Remover” to your order. This handy device will pull the pickets out of the ground with ease when it’s time to pack up your lighting installation.

Our festoon pole and base plate hire kit provides a weighted base plate for delicate, hard or concrete surfaces where the ground stake kit is not an option.

Solid Surface Pole Kit Includes:

1 x 3.2m Structural Aluminium Pole
1 x Clamp and Shackle Assembly
1 x 19kg Base Plate and Pole Spigot

We recommend the following weights for the spans listed below:

The minimum weight limits below are for parallel (pole to pole) layouts only. If you are creating a zig zag pattern with your lighting, you will need to double the weight on the base plate. For example, a 10m zig zag means two lines are coming off one pole, totalling 20m, requiring double the weight of a single 10m run.

10m to 15m Span of Standard Festoon
