I spent a week trying to find small plastic skull whistles which were used by toyguy710. In order to get your fence to look like a fence, you need finials. If you have a finger in the way, it will not care and you will get to visit the ER. If you click the handle to get the blade closer to the pipe before putting the pipe inside the jaws, it may snap down fully. The opening will be much bigger than the pipe. If you bought a ratcheting PVC cutter, be careful with the blades. It can only cut up to 1 1/4" diameter so you will need a saw (hack saw or sawzall) to cut the 2" end posts ***Safety tip*** This is where the PVC cutter comes in handy. I will cut the middle pieces shorter (about 38") and leave the corners long (57"). You may want to resize it to be about the same height as your fence. The fence post will be much taller than the fence. My cut list is belowĢ" PVC end post: Cut off the bell, measure and cut in half the remainder, should be about 57" each.
Out of the 10' section of pipe, the most you can use is 116" of the 120" due to the bell. To get the rolling look, you will need 2 tall, 4 medium, and 3 short pieces. We do not need this piece and it is not helpful to the finished look of the fence. This bell is used to couple two pieces of PVC together.
When you take the 10' piece of PVC, you can see there is a bell on one end, (only for the electrical PVC). To get this effect, I had to cut different sized pieces. The look I wanted for my fence was an arched rolling top. In order to create a single 8' panel, you will need 3 pieces (sticks) of 1/2" PVC and 1 piece (stick) of the 2" PVC. It takes much more time than you think to create a fence. > A saw to cut the 2" PVC as the cutter only goes to 1 1/4" > PVC cutter ( about 12 dollars at a home improvement store and will save time and headache)

> Sledge hammer or post driver ( for rebar stakes) >Heat gun ( real use to strip paint from a house) >Drill press ( not needed but really handy) Mail making it under $15 in 8 to 10 weeks of course I chose Behr and it was $19.95 a gallon with $5 back in the With shipping, they came out to about 30 cents each. You can pick them up online at sites such as > (2) pieces of 1/2" rebar 4 foot long or 2 four foot T posts from someplace like Home Depot. I chose to use the gray electrical PVC called JMĮagle as it was 92 cents a stick vs $1.46 for the white stuff. Once you find out how much fencing you will need, the next step is to gather the materials. Two panels 10' per side may be warranted. Say you have a yard with 20' before a sidewalk and 20' after the sidewalk. That is up to you and may be dictated on how much room you have and your dimensions. I have a rather big front yard so running across the front and down the sides, I came up with 190' of fencing, or twenty three 8' panels and one 6' gate panel. I chose to build and create an Instructable on the PVC style of fence using 2x2s as rails.Īfter researching the style of fence you want, or if you decide to keep with the design here, follow the next steps and learn from a few of my mistakes.īefore you begin making your fence, you need to measure the area you want the fence to go. The most common types of fences for Halloween home haunts are pvc, lath boards, old pallets, trelis sections, cheap wooden fencing torn apart and rebuilt, or garden stakes (which is just silly). Now not being able to afford an iron fence, and with the neighborhood restrictions in place, I had to go about making a temporary fence for just the month of Halloween, which was what I wanted to do in the first place. Through research, I found all kinds of wrought iron fences which would do the trick. I hope it helps you create a slightly more enjoyable Halloween. There is one on a simple graveyard fence out of trelis but I wanted the wrought iron look.

I looked through this site and saw, to my surprise, there was not a good instructable on how to create a cemetery fence. It is my first Halloween here out of an apartment and it is time to put my haunted house experience to work. This year, I wanted to build a cemetery fence for my home.
