Customizable lengths of this commercial grade string light cord make it perfect for fitting any space you need! Get any length, or multiple lengths, up to 330 feet of outdoor string lighting to be enjoyed year round! See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG).

Note: Longest single length is 165 sockets (330 feet). For single or mutliple lengths totalling close to this, consider a full 330 foot Bulk Reel.

Custom orders typically ship in 1-2 weeks. If your order is time sensitive, contact us for current availability.

*The key differences between the two cord options is the 14AWG cord allows you to run longer lengths, and it has a bit heavier duty wiring. The benefit to the 16AWG cord is it's robust enough for commercial use but light enough for easy installation (about 1/2 the weight of the 14AWG wire). Both cords provide heavy-duty construction and weather resistant sockets.
