Step 6: The Spooky Fence
No good graveyard (or halloween display) would be complete without a fence to keep the monsters in and the trick-or-treaters out.
The first step is breaking the pallets down. The planks of the pallet are then broken some while trying to keep their full length to make them look a little dilapidated and to give them a pointy end to nail into the ground. You then nail a nail into the top of each slat/post and hammer it securely into the ground. Be sure to keep room for walking around vehicles. Stick the foam 2x4s to the exposed nails and spray paint the whole fence. Keep in mind the heavier you lay on spray paint to the foam the more it'll eat it, so don't go overboard. You can use it to make it look somewhat rotted though. You can also tie the foam to the planks to keep the wind from blowing it off the nails.
Some things to keep in mind are that the more ragged it looks the better and making the whole fence line zig-zag some adds to the affect as well.
