PVC to hang lights on two story home?

I used 2" x 2" plastic downspouts for all my windows and roof line.

Split it in 1/2 with a drimmel tool .. drill 3/4" holes every 3" for 2 strands of c9 bulbs.

A LOT of work the first year but now I can hang them off the eaves trough ( different technique then splitting them in 1/2 ) and all the facing of my home have them also.

10ft lengths go up with 3 screws.

Any questions ... feel free to ask !

The site is currently down.

This setup accommodates two (2) channels of C9 LEDs and one of Ultra-Brites minis. We have some brisk winds here in the recent week and all have remained in place. Each set of legs or stand-offs are about 5ft OC and that is the anchoring point. There is a piece of #12 wire running between each leg and that is attached to a shingle clip with the rope light clip tab removed. This method sure saves my shingles and is a time saver while on the roof (pe-assemble each section on ground). Hope this is helpful.
