Making a PVC Halloween Fence

After a recent visit to New Orleans, and a cemetery tour, I decided that the family crypt build wasn't quite finished. It needed one more detail - a fence! So in this video, I'll be taking it back to basics and will build a haunt fence from PVC pipe and wood planks.

You have taught me so much for my porch haunt since we don’t have a yard to do a haunt in my porch is turning out so great better then the neighboring houses around us. Please keep up your tutorials, I love how everything your videos have in them are well explained and materials are accessible to most and affordable too, your awesome thank you so much

Those finials really bump up the production value, looks fantastic. The corners are brilliant, so practical. Your builds never cease to amaze me, excellent ideas and work. I'm hoping to do something this like atop a very low foam faux capped brick wall. We have a very shallow front yard, just long enough to "bury" our dead, and this will help it look so much more realistic. Thanks for another great video.

oh, plastic finials... hmmmmmm (thanks for posting the website) we have a nice fence we made by reworking some wooden garden fencing but it might be time for an upgrade

If you want to make any quantity of fence a drill press is essential and taking the time to make a jig is even better. Pre drill everything! Great video

@raymitchell9736 Жыл бұрын

Again, great build... I like how well the fence came together and you were able to quickly make the texture and color... That's usually the hard part. It really adds that extra level of detail/reality that maybe you don't notice if it's not there, but sells it when it is there. And now you can't imagine it without it being there! For my own curiosity, not a suggestion: The concept of these fences in the cemetery, I thought the fence would surround the whole crypt? And maybe not...

@VanOaksProps Жыл бұрын

You’d think, but because space it limited in New Orleans they only wrap the front on most of them.

Great build! It inspires me to get around to the fence I've been blowing off for years. BTW, if one has access to a table saw and the time, ripping your own 1x2 furring strips out of wider boards can yield a far better product than precut pieces.

I like the finial reference you got! My dad and I made a Dracula tombstone based on the ones from CastleVania 2 Simon's Quest and Super CastleVania 4. The lettering for Dracula's name was based on some used on monuments in Romania for the real Vlad Tepes Dracula. I also purchased a portrait of Vlad from a person who lives in Romania. It turned out pretty cool!

Pound some rebar into the ground to help stabilize, and then you'll have to determine the angle of your slope to make some kind of joint to connect the front to the side.

You would happen to be selling the 3D model for these would you? And if so do you only have corner joining pieces? Not looking to do this for a crypt but to enclose my front yard and some landscaping, about 200 feet in total with a few different angles, 45, 90 and 180. Also what was you spacing between the tall and short posts?

What do you recommend for a 3d printer for a newbie that wants to buy one without upgrading 50 times?. Kinda "future proof" for a while.

Prusa i3 Mk3+. It’s a bit more than others and you have to assemble it yourself, but it’s the best printer I’ve ever used and is extremely consistent with minimal upkeep.
