Graveyard Fence

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)

Step 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.

A very interesting idea! I must admit that I was expecting something else when I read the title. More of a "Highlander" type thing...

Funny. Would make for a very ironic Halloween graveyard scene for sure...a few Highlander types dueling...

Wow! I have seen a lot of graveyard fences be made and this was by far the easiest and quickest way I have seen yet. Great idea. Can't wait to see your other halloween instructables.

Very, cool. I will probably use this for decorating next year. Simple, easy, and not that expensive. NICE!
