Thread: Props attached to brick walls

Tweet

I've got an idea for a prop of a different sort (holiday) but could also be used for this goolish of days for us who creep around and wish our yards to be haunted cemeteries and our homes to be possessed by "paranormal" creatures who go through the walls.

The idea is to build a guard cut in half so that only the front half is showing. As if he's standing in the door way of a guard house. You only see the front part.

So what suggestions would you folks have to attach my guard to the brick without too much trouble. The guard would be about 4.5' tall. What ever it is I used I would like it to be easy but doesn't have to be simple. Duct tape is out of the question. Someone mentioned Velcro but a good wind would just make shreds. The guard is going to be made of styrofoam.

Thanks for all the ideas.

I have attached many props to brick walls over the years, adhesives do not work and or leave unwanted dried adhesive on the brick. The only sure fire way is to put anchors between the mortar. You can always go back and fill your holes later on.
