Hanging Christmas lights help

Im not sure why flat rolled would make a difference. On regular shingle roof I just use plastic hangers for Christmas lights from any store. They generally last 2 seasons. When multiple hangers are put close together it will allow the strand to be pulled taught like at the ends of the strands.

I buy Christmas lights on the roll and save the roll. At the end of the season I roll lights and plastic hangers on the roll (in reverse). The first year it took me about 3 hours to get hangers figured out but now it takes me an hour to string the entire house including bushes.

Eta: these are similar to what I use, you can orient them many ways for different size lights. You can get a box of 100 for like $10 at Walmart

I used some little 3m hooks that stuck to the fascia


It was easy to install and the lights were easy to remove. The clips are still up there, at least most of them

I have nails around my house. They are about 4 inches long, maybe, and come out about 2 inches. They are angled slightly up and can't be seen from the house. It takes less than 10 minutes to hang lights around the front of the house and when it is time to take down I pull the first couple sections off(about 4 feet apart) and then from the ground give a nice wavy tug and they all come off about 3-4 sections at a time.

The nails have no head on them.

Hire it done, bro.

Hire someone before you get killed, make sure they have insurance.

Or option 2, just tell the wife it can't be done and forget about it.
