Thread: New '08 Mausoleum Facade

Tweet

Well I spent all weekend working on my new mausoleum facade. Last year's was made from PVC and foam. It was great to work with and easy to assemble but high winds destroyed it on tricker treat night (our town doesn't have it on the 31st). Attached below are some picks of the new facade still in the garage. I have a 10' by 20' canpoy that this will be placed to. The dimension of the facade are 11' wide by 10' tall. It breaks down into three seactions (2 4' x 8' and 1 irregular shaped piece on the top). It is a little different than the typical mausoleum and needs a few finishing touches but you get the general idea.

Looking good so far. How much did the brick sections cost?

I think they were about $24 each and I bought three. (Lowes)

That's not too bad. Can TOTs go inside or is this for a FCG or something? Keep posting pics!

The tent will be large enough for two themed rooms inside. The first room will be the mausoleum with skeletons, coffins, etc and the second will be a torture chamber with kicking legs, reacher, and MIB.

Terrific. The brickwork is very menacing and I also got an old Wild West ghost town vibe too. It could easily be switched to that theme another year.

By the way, I also had nasty wind problems last year. (40 MPH gusts) Which is why, this year, I moved my "Haunted Sidewalk" to be a "Haunted Garage!"

this is really cool i am going to use this to do one for christmas also... i have been wanting to make a gingerbread house and i think this will work! thanks

I plan to make it look weathered and put some vines and moss on it to make it look a little more spooky. Thanks for the comments.
