Thread: My first 2010 prop (boarded windows)

Tweet

Well this is my first prop done this year. How do you think it looks? The windows are real wide so I couldnt have long boards across there. Does it look okay with them cut down the middle? I have another window to do that is taller, but I am glad I have one out of the way. It took me forever to tear the pallets apart. I love free stuff. Garbage picked the pallets, but I need to go get some more. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

Looks great!!!!!!!!

Nice job!!!!!
How did you attach them to the windows?

Looks good. I wish I had a good way to attach such things to the front of my house with out damaging the window frames. I have aluminum frames though, not wood.

Looks real professional! Nice work!

Nice job .

I got lucky with attaching. There is a lip in the wood structure on top. I just slid the top wood up in the space and let it rest on the brick at the bottom. They pretty heavy so it isnt going anywhere. The other window will be a problem because there isnt a brick ledge. But I have an idea. Thanks for the input.

My wife is to Christmas what I am to Halloween. Given she likes to fill the house with approximately 800 miles of garland, I've gone to puttin' screw hooks into the woodwork over all the doors and then used zip ties to hold up the garlands. Zip, zip to put up followed by snip, snip to take down.

Drive a few screw hooks through the aluminum and zip-tie the wood. Leave the screw hooks in year round - you can caulk the interface with silicon - and set up and take down is easy as pie.

Cheers.

Sticky Velcro works great for the boarded windows, and the residue is fairly easy to take off aluminum. Not sure about wood, though.

We are using this exact method to hang our boarded windows too! We are the opposite here...Hubby(Cleaver) is Mr Christmas and I am the gore queen ;P

Great job on the windows...I am doing pallets too...any problems during the making of them you need to share?
