Thread: Stanchion Update

Tweet

Got the stanchions finished off this weekend. Eighteen poles and 80 feet of chain took a lot more time than I expected.

Daytime shot:



You can see the push LED in the inside of the topper.

These stanchions acheived the two things I was looking for: 1) to make the poles visible so everyone knows it's a barrier to crossing into the graveyard, and 2) make sure they didn't produce too much light that would disturb the other props. It's hard to tell from these pictures but both happened with a brillliant silver/purple light illuminating only where the chains go through the poles.

As a side note:
Going to the South in a couple of weeks and then I'll start getting serious about my fence. I wanted to make sure my survey of New Orleans didn't turn up any more design ideas.

Those are great looking!

love it!!! you did a great job on those, can't wait to see it all pulled together..so, are you getting your ideas from NOLA?? it's a great place, i love the french quarter, the cemeteries are just beautiful... and the houses are amazing..

Those look great! Nice job on the LED lights, also.

I would love to know what materials you used and how the leds are mounted and powered!

You mentioned you got the toppers at the dollar store. What are they exactly?

I really like how this turned out, great job.

Wow, they look amazing. Please show us how you did it. How tall are they?

OMG! Man those are cool! Amazing job.
