Lights on your roof are not safe.





For putting up lights, I'll use a hook to hang off the gutters or for railings, I use the plastic strips that come straight and you stick the narrow end into the other end and it click locks. Not sure the right name of them, but they work good and you can just snip them when it's time for the lights to come down.Whats the best way to hang christmas lights without actually nailing anything into the roof?
Grab a baggie of cable ties at Radio Shack. They are plastic strips that clip closed. You can string the lines and hold them to the gutters, to any pipes sticking up, etc.





To remove them, just clip them with a nail clipper or a pair of scissors.

tiny clamps, like those used to hold papers together in an office, will clip to your shingles without causing damage. Worth a try if you can't find a better alternative.
the plastic clamps you can find at any store that sells decorations.
