Tweet

Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a cemetary fence? I want to make an arbor to walk thru with a gate and a rickety looking fence . Any idea's would be great, like what to make it out of and such

alot of people use pvc pipe and a heat gun and store boughten finials take 1x2 -2 pieces and stack them drill holes to fit the pvc then glue or screw them in place use a heat gun or propane torch to heat the pvc to make bends in them paint them and put the finials on top and wella a fence for exter effect you can cut thin pieces of like 3 or 4 in pvc for inbetween the bars that looks cool too!!! look through the prop section there should be how too on this

thanks for the tips i will look for tutorial on fences

I used 3 foot yard stakes from Home Depot as the verticle pieces and 8 ft wood trim pieces for the two horizontal supports. I simply spaced the yard stakes a foot apart and used nails and a little wood glue. And then on the back I mounted two pieces of PVC pipe and I shove two short pieces of rebar into the ground and the section of fence slides down onto them. I painted the whole thing black and made all the vertical pieces nice and straight because I was going for that "cast iron" look. But it would be easy enough to make some pieces crooked and do a paint job that makes it look old and broken down.... if that's how you want it.

Here's a pick of my cemetery.....
