LOVE THIS!! One of the best things i've ever seen on this forum! What a grand entrance. Looking forward to more pics!
small, Big, BIGGER! Attack of the ....
the GIANT HAT. We've been loving (cough, coveting) this Giant Witch Hat Arbor from Yankee Siege below.

SO, we made our own version. Not the same material. But, still fun. It's 10 feet wide and 10 feet tall. We used the trimmings from our birch trees and The Eighth Plague welded a frame. We still have some finishing touches, but I'm pretty darn happy. Everybody is driving by slow and neighbors are stopping by to talk. Gotta love Halloween. We'll post more pictures when we actually decorate outside, but we had to share our big, ol' hat with you now.

Thanks everybody, this truly was an enormous undertaking. I just welded up the frame out of 3/8" rebar from Home Depot and some chunks of a swingset I had gotten off of Craig's List and some other odds and ends. My wife did the difficult and artistic part of weaving all the branches through the armature. It turned out great, and I'm proud of what we've accomplished. If anybody is contemplating something like this, I have three little words of advice for you: "Start in July."
The frame comes apart into two pieces, but it is still 10 feet across and 10 feet tall, so storing will be . . . well . . . interesting.
I have one question though, "What is the off season?"

I joked about putting it on top of our pergola since it's just he metal frame with no tent anymore.
And, we talked about putting it on top of our dog house. Basically, we have no idea.My husband welded it so the center cone is removable from the outer ring. That might help with storage.
Honestly, I have no idea. We also joked about turning it on its side for Thanksgiving and making it a cornucopia.
WOW!
That is amazing
Great job!!!
