Thread: Pvc Graveyard fence

Tweet

Here are some pictures of my Pvc grave yard fence.

I bought 1x3 furring strips at Home depot for 1.16 each. Drilled 7/8" holes every 6 inches, and used 1/2" electrical pvc pipe which I cut into 3 equal Parts. about 3'3" each.

I also drileed 2 holes in the first and last verticl bar and inserted a 1/4" bolt to hold up the wood at a desired location. Approx 6" from the top and bottom.

I bought Fence post toppers from www.decorativeiron.com which came quick, and work and look beautiful.

I used a torch to heat the toppers and help them snuggly fit onto the 1/2" pvc. I read this in aother post online here and it worked Perfect!!

i'm just glad to see that my garage isn't the only one that looks like a tornado hit it. haha.

plus the fence looks great too.

the only thing I'm not liking about my pvc fence is 3 years later the wood is starting to break or crack where the holes are drilled.

looks great!!

I'm loving these PVC fences! Yours turned out great!

Someday....lol

Looks good.
Brought back memory's of when we (when I say we I mean hubby)built mine.
Love the toppers &the little guy in the pics so cute.

Nice job. I used the same finials.

Don't know how far along you are, but have you considered staggering the heights of your pvc poles. When I built mine, I started with a tall pole at each end then had them shrink as they approach the middle. It creates more of a gothic look to the fence.

Here's a picture:



The post at the end is simply a 2" pvc tube sitting alone on a rebar. I have one at each corner. Just an easy made and storable cemetery column.

The fence looks great.

Thanks to Everyone!!!. JD I like the staggered look. Wasn't sure how I wanted to go with it, this year I might leave them all even. Maybe next year I will change it up a bit. You pic looks Great.
Here are some more sorry for the quality i took them at night, Just getting geared up. 3 sections up Might make 2 or 3 more.

Looks great! Exactly like mine, even the finials! The pics of the freshly drilled holes and wood shavings brought back memories!

Great job! My wife made ours and did terrific job as well. It looks just like yours except she cut the square bottoms off of the finials. And every year there are people who are amazed that it is made out of PVC and wood.
