How To Make A Beautiful DIY Solar Light Garden Post

Sharing is caring!

Learn how to make a beautiful and useful solar light garden post for your walkway.

I wanted to make a Solar Light Garden Post for some time and finally had a chance to complete it.  We have limited outdoor lighting and a long driveway so it really makes it difficult if you are carrying things in at night.

I have been pricing outdoor solar lanterns, but they are out of the budget, so I went to Lowe’s with a vision in mind.

Solar Light Garden Post

The supplies needed:

• 4x4x8 foot post cut in half $9
• 2 solar lights-mine were $4.97 each
• Clay pot clips Wal-Mart one set $5.98
• House numbers I paid $1.29 each
• Pansies $5 6 pack
• 4″ clay pot/saucer
• 2″ clay pot/saucer
• Potting soil

The post was painted in two coats of semi-gloss white and simply screwed in the solar light. Here is a similar solar light cap: Solar Light Cap

I found these awesome clay pot clips at Wal-Mart, but there are similar ones here-Flower Pot Klips

A clip was attached to each side.  I planted pansies and added the clay pots to the post. The post was secured in a fairly deep hole.

It really gives off a good amount of light and I love how it looks at the end of my walkway. For about $20 a piece you can’t go wrong!
