I'm looking for some advice on how to attach C9 pixel bulbs to the following roof lines (where I've marked each image up with yellow):
On this one... I'm ok with putting a couple screws in. My thought was to get some J-Channel and put 4 screws in (4 corners) and attach C9 bulbs to J-Channel with normal C9 clips. I wouldn't want to leave the holes throughout the year so I'd have to patch/paint but I can't think of anything else. I guess I could put in anchors into the wood? Any other ideas? I was considering also some PVC frame and hang it from hooks in the eave, but I would still have to attach it to the wood face at some point to stop it from moving around. Hiding wires is tough with a PVC frame and aligning the bulbs.
On this one, I'm ok with just gluing them to the brick, but I'm trying to minimize my time on the roof. I do have installers that hang my roof line (shingles and gutters) but they don't do the complex stuff and won't use the glue gun to attach to the brick. Either I glue them, or I use j-channel again and put in several anchors so I can put them back up easily next year.
What are your thoughts on the j-channel idea? It's not the normal j-channel use case (hiding wires and permanent lights on a house/siding scenario), but it just looks to me like j-channel could work. I'm going to run to Home Depot today to see if I can attach my clips to the j-channel in the way I have in my head.
Appreciate any advice you guys can give!
