DIY Workshop: Solar Light Posts

July 22, 2020 | building of the month

These are wooden and metal DIY solar lights.

Light up your backyard after sunset with our customizable DIY Solar Light Posts.


This simple project uses 4x4 posts and solar lights from The Home Depot—perfect for summer nights, personal style, and shed-side ambiance.

Sunset doesn’t need to end your backyard fun. Keep the party going long after the sun goes down with our DIY Solar Light Posts. In just a few steps you can design a solar light station to fit your backyard and summer activities.

This DIY project can easily be customized to match your style or the space that you’d like to light. We used a single 4×4 fence post, cut in different heights and these solar lights, available from the Home Depot. You can put your own creative spin on this project with a different post layout, solar light to match your style, wood stain, or maybe custom paint to match your shed.

You can get started with our DIY guide below, then design a set of solar light posts to fit your style. Don’t forget to share photos of your finished project and tag us. Happy building!

If you’d like to learn more about the paver patio seen in this DIY tutorial, you can find our blog about the project here.
