Abstract: A kit for forming a support for strings of lights includes first and second connectors each having a pair of sockets for receiving an end of a support member. The first connector is removably mountable on the second connector by slidably engaging first saddle faces of the first connector with second saddle faces of the second connector, thus positioning support members mounted on the first connector in a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to a plane defined by support members mounted on the second connector. The support member includes an elongate base portion and a plurality of mounting structures mounted thereon. The mounting structures include a pair of mounting members forming a string-receiving channel therebetween. Each mounting member has inner and outer sections. The inner sections may be in a spaced and substantially parallel relationship, and the outer sections diverge from each other for guiding a portion of a light string into the channel.
