This is an easy Halloween project my son and I did to create a graveyard fence. This is my first instructable, so enjoy. There are a lot of project pages out there that have great graveyard props and tips, but I didnt see any that started with pre-built fencing or trellis. So here you go.
Materials:
1. Sections of Garden Trellis
2. Metal garden stakes (2 per trellis)
3. Zip ties (4 per trellis)
4. Black paint (1/2 can per trellis + 1 more can)
5. Halloween ornaments, plastic skulls for example (2+ per trellis)
Tools:
Hammer
Scissors/knife (to trim zip ties)
Pliers (to pull wood staples)

Signing UpStep 1: Purchase garden fence or trellis
I found some great trelli (?) at the Depot. They were about $9-12 each. Remember, I was trying to save some time and effort here. I'm not sure that this was any more expensive than purchasing all of the wood or PVC.

Also seen people make arrowhead-shaped toppers to complete the wrought iron look. Just about anything would work.
I would suggest browsing a Halloween store to find something cheap and creepy and the apply some kind of black, grey, etc paints for antiquing/aging/rusting effects.
I envy you, outside at this time in shorts!
Might try this next year (before it gets too cold!)
