📏 Recommended Quantity per Pergola Size
Pergola Model | Total Frame Perimeter | Recommended Length / Setup | Typical Number of Strings | Layout Suggestion |
Pro+ 10×10 ft (3×3 m) | ~40 ft (12 m) | 1 × 24 ft for accent lighting or 1 × 48 ft for full perimeter | 1 string | Run along two adjacent beams or perimeter loop |
Pro+ 10×13 ft (3×4 m) | ~46 ft (14 m) | 1 × 48 ft full coverage | 1 string | Zig-zag across louvers or around 13 ft beams |
Pro+ 13×13 ft (4×4 m) | ~52 ft (16 m) | 1–2 × 48 ft depending on brightness preference | 1–2 strings | One perimeter run or dual parallel zig-zags |

For accent / mood lighting, use shorter (24 ft) strands on outer beams only.
For event or full coverage lighting, choose 48 ft LED variants for energy-efficient continuous glow.
⚙️ Installation & Mounting
Plan Layout Before Hanging
Identify beam attachment points every 2–3 ft (60–90 cm).
Avoid heater or motor zones to prevent cable heat exposure.
Mount Securely
Use included hanging loops with UV-resistant cable ties, hooks, or stainless clips.
Maintain mild sag between bulbs for an aesthetic curve (~4–6 in drop per 8 ft span).
Connection Notes
Plug into outdoor-rated GFCI outlet (IP65).
Wi-Fi and dimmer models pair through the Hansø Smart app or standard smart plug.
Keep connectors away from direct water or roof drainage paths.
