Frequently Asked Questions

When Is the Best Time To Put Up Outdoor Christmas Decorations?

We recommend installing your outdoor decorations in early November to ensure a stress-free setup before the busy holiday season. Check the weather forecast and choose a mild day for the best installation experience.

Are Balsam Hill’s Outdoor Decorations Weather-Resistant?

Yes, our outdoor collection is designed to withstand rain, snow, wind, and sunlight. However, we recommend placing delicate décor items in covered porch areas and bringing in battery-operated items during severe weather.

How Do I Measure My Porch To Ensure Decorations Will Fit?

Measure your door frame, porch width, and ceiling height. Allow space for foot traffic and door swing. For wreaths, measure your door width and divide by three—this gives you the ideal wreath diameter.

How Many Lights Do I Need for My Porch?

For string lights, plan 100 lights for every 6-8 feet of railing or roofline. For a balanced look, use at least two lanterns for symmetry and consider multiple strands of fairy lights for layered lighting.
