Thread: mausoleum

Tweet

hello all
A friend of mine showed me this site and I'm so excited! I have been a HUGE fan of Halloween my whole life. My questions is....Does anyone have any ideas on how to make a realistic looking mausoleum? Right now our idea is to use the frame of a canopy and build the walls out of cardboard. But as we are attempting to put it together it is not as strong as we thought. So any ideas that you have would be a huge help.

Thanks,
Happy Halloween

Oh we are turning our 1/2 acre backyard into a haunted cemetery. So these will be fairly large do to the size of the yard.

A lot of people here use a wood frame structure and styrofoam....Kind of late in the game for this year but there's always next....Maybe try wooden braces on the canopy and use drywall screws to secure the cardboard to that for this year?.....Anyway, welcome to the board and browse around as you'll find a TON of ideas for next year.....Good Luck...ZR

Yeah, just type in mausoleum into the search and you'll get a lot of hits. It's never too late, if you have some days off you can really donate to building it, it can be done by the 31st.

Take a look at my website for build pictures of the mausoleum that I just built:

Feel free to ask me any questions you want and I will try to answer them.

thanks everyone for your suggestions and pics.I'm going to take the challenge and see what we can complete for this year. I'll keep you all posted on the end result.
