Solar Light Deck Mount

thingiverse

I purchased a stand of DecorNova solar-powered lights (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LVYSINI/) to hang on my outdoor deck, where they will provide a warm and inviting ambiance during evening gatherings. The kit included a stake, but I realized that I didn't have any material to drive the stake into the ground, which is necessary for securing the light stand properly. Fortunately, this particular piece of 3D printed hardware is designed specifically for standard size outdoor deck screws, making it easy to attach securely to the deck railings or other surfaces. However, there is an interesting design feature that enhances stability in extremely hot weather: if you print the piece using a material like PLA, you can screw a deck screw through the bottom before mounting it, which provides extra support and prevents it from toppling over due to strong winds or weight.
