The poles are the starting point where there are no walls, fences, or beams to anchor to. Dulora's 2.4m powder-coated steel poles come as a set of two with a ground spike for soil installation. Space poles 2.5 to 3.5 metres apart for correct tension and drop.
Extension cords connect your power point to the first lamp holder or bridge the gap between two festoon runs. Available in black and white to match the string colour. The black cord is available in 3, 5, and 10 metre lengths for Classic 240V, and in 3 metres only for Smart and Solar strings. The white cord is available in 3, 5, and 10 metre lengths for Classic 240V only. All extension cords use IP65-rated twist-lock connectors and are compatible exclusively with Dulora festoon cables.
Splitters branch one festoon string into two or three separate runs from a single dimmer. The 2-way Y-shaped splitter covers 240V, 24V, and Smart strings. The T-shaped and 3-way splitters cover 240V and 24V strings. All three are IP65 rated.
The Festoon Lighting Hanging Kit provides a tensioned support wire and all hardware for a clean, sag-free run between fixed anchor points: stainless cable, turnbuckle, expansion hooks, wire rope clamps, locking devices, and a wrench, covering 10 to 80 metre spans.
The Waterproof Electrical Cable Wire Connector seals outdoor cable joins to IP67 in 2-pin or 3-pin format, compact and field-assembled without specialist tools.

Buying Guide
Which festoon pole suits my space?
The Dulora poles are 2.4 metres tall and install with a ground spike into soil, making them suited to lawns, garden beds, and any open outdoor space where there is no existing wall or fence to anchor to. Each set covers two anchor points, so one set spans a single string run. For longer runs, additional sets extend the installation. Space poles between 2.5 and 3.5 metres apart for correct cable tension and drop. They are not designed for concrete or hard surfaces without a weighted base or post anchor, which are sold separately by other suppliers.
Which extension cord or splitter do I need?
Match the extension cord to your festoon string type. The black extension cord is available in 3, 5, and 10 metre lengths for Classic 240V strings, and in 3 metres only for Smart and Solar strings. The white extension cord covers Classic 240V strings in 3, 5, and 10 metre lengths. Splitters let you run multiple strings from one dimmer or power point. The 2-way Y-shaped splitter has variants for 240V, 24V, and Smart strings. The T-shaped and 3-way splitters cover 240V and 24V strings only. All extension cords and splitters use Dulora's twist-lock connector system and are not compatible with other brands.
How does the Festoon Lighting Hanging Kit work?
The Hanging Kit solves the sag problem. Without a support wire, a long festoon run droops in the middle and lets the string swing in the wind, which pulls bulbs out of alignment and gives the installation an unfinished look. The kit provides a tensioned stainless steel cable that runs between two fixed anchor points: a wall, a fence post, a pergola beam, or any solid structure, and holds the string in a clean, even line. Select the kit length to match your span: options run from 10 to 80 metres. All hardware is included, from the expansion hooks and wire rope clamps through to the turnbuckle and wrench.
Frequently Asked Questions
Festoon Accessories
- Can the festoon poles be used on concrete or paved surfaces?
- The Dulora poles use a ground spike designed for soil installation. On concrete, paving, or hard surfaces they require a weighted base or post anchor, which are not included and are sold by other suppliers. For hard-surface installations, the Hanging Kit with anchor points drilled into masonry is an alternative approach.
- How many splitters or extension cords do I need?
- One splitter branches the output of a single string into two or three separate runs from one connection point. One extension cord bridges the gap between your power point or dimmer and the first lamp holder. For multi-run installations, use one splitter at the source and one extension cord per run that needs additional reach.
- Are these accessories compatible with all festoon brands?
- The extension cords and splitters use Dulora's twist-lock connector system and are compatible exclusively with Dulora festoon strings. The hanging kit and poles are brand-agnostic installation hardware and will work with any festoon string.
- What is the IP rating of each accessory?
- Extension cords and splitters are IP65 rated: protected against water jets from any direction and suited to permanent outdoor installation. The waterproof cable connector is IP67 rated: sealed against temporary immersion. The hanging kit and poles carry no IP rating as they contain no electrical components.
