Summer is the quintessential season to hang out in the backyard, load up the outdoor cooler with your favorite icy beverages, turn up the tunes, and enjoy the temperate weather. If you happen to also have a barbeque grill, you can even fire up some food and invite some friends to share in the traditions that make summer such a beloved season for many. Of course, before you do that, you’ll want to make sure your outdoor space is ready and can accommodate your guests.
If you’d like a way to introduce some atmosphere to your backyard with very little time or money invested, you may want to consider a few sets of string lights. Walmart has a great-looking 100-foot string lights on sale for $35 right now, which saves you $25 off the regular price.

These bulbs are LED, which save 95% on electricity compared to incandescent bulbs. But on top of that, the Edison bulbs make this string look extra stylish — think the really cool outdoor wedding or cool coffeehouse courtyard vibe. They’re also shatterproof and waterproof, and you can even adjust the brightness level if you want a dimly lit feel or need to turn the brightness up to full strength.

Since these bulbs are also plastic instead of glass, they are sturdier and can withstand wind, snow, and even heavy rain, so you don’t have to worry about dashing outside to take them down if weather conditions get iffy.
Shoppers love these lights, with 86% of ratings ranking at five stars. They describe the length of the string as being extremely convenient, praise the soft amber glow the lights emit, and say the clips on the lights are good quality. Others call them “beautiful” and say they “feel like stars.”
Ready to give your backyard the glow up it deserves? These outdoor string lights are not only a terrific price, but probably the easiest way to make your hangout space look classy with very little effort. Don’t be surprised if your friends love the vibe so much that they ask where they can get their own.
