Thread: Looking for fence

Tweet

Does anyone know how to either build or where to buy a fence, or fence pieces? To build my graveyard in my frontyard. Black spiked ones I guess? Any ideas? Thanks!

Lots of people on the site have built fencing. You can do a search in the props section and surely find some builds. Also, the Monster List of Halloween Projects will have several links:

Hope that helps.

Wow..thx Alucard..that site is Great..its added to the old favs already!

There are a lot of great fences projects this year among the haunter here. I'd do a search for fence under Halloween Props and also under Tutorials and Step-By-Step.

What kind of fence style are you thinking of or are you looking for some inspiration?

My fencing consists of the white picket fencing you get from Lowes that is rolled up. I have about 10 of them (I would buy a couple new ones each year, adding to the ones I already had) and I spray painted them black. Over the years, they get pretty beat up and crooked, which I think just adds to the ambiance! I help keep the fence in place with the green garden stakes that I trim down and paint black too.



I now have it all around both sides of my front yard and up the side.

i just banged out 80 feet (10 8 feet sections)of fence in about 6 hours. it goes quick after the first section.A couple tips for you.

1. Find a drill press with a spade or forstner bit. If using 3/4 PVC get a 1 1/8 bit.
2. Find a miter saw for cutting PVC
3. Make templates for the spacing.

Template #1 Take left over 1x2 board and cut it to the length of the spacing you will be using. I used 8 inch spacing. Also etch the center point so when you draw the line on its edge it with indent the center point.

Template #2 and3 I had 4inch spacing between the bottom of the PVC to to bottom of the bottom section. I just used old PVC cut to this size Also the same for the top rail 20 inch from the bottom to the bottom of the top. No need you a tape measure after you make these.

The PVC will have to be secured with screws.

That's exactly what I did when I made mine.

Here is a pic of what it looks like.

Be sure to add finials.......it's like the icing on the cake! Now I want some cake!

I made my columns out of cardboard: Cheap graveyard columns - cardboard!

and bought my fence from Lowes and used wire cutters to fit it between the columns.

Simple, purchase or assemble your own from gothic pickets at Home Depot (or your fav store). That's what our current fence started as.....
