Thread: What's the best way to cover garage?

Tweet

I do a haunt in my garage and try to block the view of the inside using fabric, but it always seems to blow open. Anyone know of a better way of doing it. Preferably CHEAP

I have generally used painters black plastic drop cloth and staples. You can create a frame that fits in the garage door opening that you can stretch the plastic over. My favorite color has been black, blocks the light right out.

The black plastic landscapping material will do the job and it does work well with duct tape. I do believe that this material is flamable but I have not done anything to prove this.

Hey Matt, how about buying cheap 1x2's and creating several frames, stretching landscape fabric or plack plastic over and secure with staples. Portable, can be clamped/wired/tied together and adjustable. Measure and make them a snug fit to the opening and wedge them in place between the top of the door opening and the cement.

They are 2x4 frames covered in black plastic. I cut the skulls out of plywood a dozen years ago. We removed the plastic around the eyes and hung flaming pots there for a nice effect

That is sooooo cool. But alas, I can not park a car or hardly even walk in my garage.. so no haunt. Maybe someday

I can't either....you should see all the crap that gets piled in the dining room so I have room in the garage.

Love it Scatterbrains! I've always just used some sheer black material cut in strips but I love the idea of blocking the view with the black plastic. We have one of those horrid orange street lights at the end of our driveway that ruins our lighting inside half the garage and our graveyard.
