Thread: PVC Help and Questions

I read on another post that someone made wall frames for a haunt out of PVC Pipes. I was wondering if you have pictures and about how much it cost to do.

It's a really good idea for home haunt add'd walls. I would like to try this for next year. Thanks.

Not sure how to make, but I do know PVC pipe is quite expensive. So make sure to buy the grey stuff not the black. It's almost half the cost.

no get the white...its like $1.34 for a ten foot piece thats a 1in thick...

Yea, I don't think it's that expensive. I guess it's relative. Mr. Halloween is right - or at least close - depends on how thick your getting it, but's between $1-2 for a 10ft section. Compare it to the alternatives - wood breaks easier, may not last as long, and I think more expensive for the amount you're going to need.

Anyway, white PVC pipe... that's it... I don't know the answer to the post. Sorry.

Thanks everyone. It shoulden't be to hard. I'm just going to use it to section off areas so you can't see the back. Also thinking of doing a maze, but that may be quit tricky. Called Lowes today and they said it all depends on the size for the cost, so again thanks.

Do take pictures of your progress once you begin. That's something I regret not doing for a lot of my projects. Good luck. You've only got 360 days!!

Will these walls be outside?

I read a guys website who built them a few times. He used rebar in the ground for support and slid 1/2" PVC pipe over it. From the pics, the rebar looked like it stuck out of the ground about 2'. He said that the 1/2" PVC cost him 60 cents for a 10 foot length. He used duct tape to attach black painter's sheeting. He said the sheeting cost about $40 for 2000 sq feet (10' high x 200' long).

search this site a little bit http://www.ghostsofhalloween.com/ He has some pics of pvc haunts. On his page cheack out some of his older haunts. Also click on the link that says maze stuff. I hpe this helps, Good luck.

Thanks for the links. That's pretty much what I'm going to do. Shouldent be hard.

I'll be sure to take pics. These will be outside walls. My grandmother has an open field by her house that she owns so she actually gave me the idea to make a maze out tjhere. And I plan on making a small Haunt through our yard using pvc walls.
