Thread: 7'6" house gate

Tweet

I made a gate for the front of my house. The skulls are sound activated and have blinking LEDs (Big Lots). There is also a Raven that has glowing red eyes that is tough to see. Gate made from PVC, and 1X2s The gate is actually functional. I will also have an asylum sign and a warning authorized personnel only sign. It feels good to get something put up outside!!!!

That looks great!!!

Wow, that looks great! How did you attach them to your walls?

I would be tempted to leave them up all year round.....!!!

Looks fantastic. I agree, I'd want to leave them up too lol. Dumb question here, how do you cut the large PVC rounds? Hand saw? I can't imagine cutting something that straight by hand lol.

Thanks - actually when I first made it I didn't have the skulls on it and it looked too good - looked like it belonged there and not Halloweenish enough. The large PVC was cut with a chop saw - it would take a long time by hand but this way only took a couple of minutes. I attached each piece of fenced to two hinges which were attached to a 2X2 anchored to the walls with two cement screws. I'll put a dab of paint over each hole when I'm done.
