Power methods vary. Many lighted yard decorations use plug-in power cords with included adapters, while smaller porch or hanging items often use battery-powered LED lights. Some battery-operated pieces include a built-in timer (commonly 6 hours on / 18 hours off).

Look for weather-friendly construction such as wind, snow, and rain resistance; sturdy metal or steel frames; water-resistant PVC or PVC foam board; and stability features like sandbags, ropes, and ground stakes.

Many designs are collapsible or pop-up for easy setup and storage; some include a storage bag or are flat/stackable (for example, pop-up figures with a storage bag or flat PVC letters). Inflatables deflate and roll up for compact storage.

Inflatables typically use a built-in fan and plug-in adapter for automatic inflation. They are secured with internal sandbags plus ropes and ground stakes, and most include a zipper or opening to deflate for storage.

Common accessories include ground stakes and zip ties or cable ties. Inflatable decorations often ship with an adapter, fan, ropes, and extra ground stakes, while pop-up fabric pieces may include U‑stakes and a storage bag.
