- Tutorial on how to build a Halloween Cemetery Fence. I’m no professional so feel free to comment with any questions you may have.
This tutorial does not include how to build the pillars. The pillars tutorial is posted in a separate video.
Pillars Video: • DIY Halloween Cemetery...
Materials needed for each 8 foot fence section. Depending on your perimeter, you may need smaller sections:
1/2 inch PVC- (75.5' per 8 foot section) cut into the following sizes:
48'', 49'', 50'', 51'' x 4
52'' x 2
1x2 treated lumber- (8 foot pieces x 3)
4" PVC sliced into 1'' rings (fence rings)-17 rings per section
3/4'' Plastic fenials - (18 per 8 foot section)

Self tapping screws
Liquid Nails construction adhesive
Krylon Fusion spray paint. (1.5-2 cans per fence section)
Here's a tip for spray painting sections of this type of fence. I hope I can make this understandable, stack the sections on top of or in front of each other in a slightly staggered pattern as so when you look at the sections you see all of the PVC pipes from the front to the back. This way you get more coverage per pass of the rattle can with less waist due to over spray. I hope this makes sense, it really saves time and resources.
Definitely the most awesomely decorated house in the neighborhood! The fence really adds so much to your spooky effect. I don’t think I’d ever put this much work into decorating my house, but I enjoyed seeing how you did it.
Thank you for this. I've seen many other channels show their fences but not show step by step how to make them. Thank you again!
2:55 Looking at all the cut marks you drew, it makes more sense to make a stop block to cut and repeat. No need to line up the blade with the cut mark.
This is exactly what I would need to know.
I would be the one making all the marks.
This is fantastic! Love that you literally show step by step!
Thank you. It was a fun product and it really completes our Halloween display.
That's an epic build
Thank you
Where do you get the Finnials
Badass fence, awesome video and amazing detail, wish I could find someone that loves Halloween this much lol
Kristara Martin thank you. Halloween is so much fun. Look forward to it every year. We dress up and have a blast handing out candy.
@@erikgoodwin I used to do that too. I loved Halloween more than Xmas! We moved to an acreage about 4 years ago. And while that is awesome to have our livestock and privacy, it is just too far out of town for trick or treaters, and too far out to bother decorating, and I am getting scared that I am starting to lose my Halloween spirit. I am thinking of building props, decorations, and perhaps costumes to sell and try to keep my Halloween spirit alive even though I can't actually take part in Halloween anymore. Nice tutorials, please keep them coming.
Erik - I'm working on building this design. Thank you for the helpful video! For others asking for the space between the holes on the 1x2 it looks like it's about 5 1/4 inches.
Thank you for this!
This can also depend on the size of your plastic rings. I did a similar build using a double ring motif, both for appeal and to lighten the weight slightly (less pvc bars per each fence section). I noticed, depending on which kind of pipe you get to slice out the rings, the inner/outter wall thickness are different, so the over all space between pipe and rings has to be measured caefully. But everything in this video is spot on, and I wish i had used the treated strip instead of my 1x2s. The warping and twisting of the cheaper boards is not worth the cost savings.
Thanks so much for this video. I’m nearly done building 3 panels using your design. I did drop the top rail down 3”, like you wished it was lower.
Painting takes awhile. The Rustoleum spray paint is worth the expense than buying the cheap project paint. A can of Rustoleum goes a lot further per can.
I just built 2 fences 8 foot long. Wasnt hard at all. I used the 1x2 and paddle bit which was very harsh to the wood using a compact. Worked out fine. After creating 1 8 foot length with holes, that became my stencil to build more easily and faster. The dollar store has broom stick handles for a buck. So i had bought plenty for the fence built. I didnt put the wave in the fence built but im gonna build more fences for the rest of my yard with the staggering height to add the wave. The fence felt sturdy and strong. I didnt add the 4 inch rings but i did add skulls for every other opening. Came out very nice. I bought the same finials like your and i actually advise they are very sharp. I would suggest to buy the quad flare finials they look a bit taller and also have the ball on top so if anyone knocks it down by accident the finial wont punture the person. Just my opinion. Happy haunting. I also didnt use 18 holes i did 12. So maybe thats why the skulls fit perfectly. Cost would be very cheap. I would say 20 bucks a fence without skulls and paint and fenials. Okay so maybe 35 bucks now a fence.
So cool. with prices now days of pvc its gonna cost a arm and leg. Very creative!
Go 8 inches between to save on material.
This is so cool! It’s on my project list for next summer. I’m going to do the pillars too. Thanks for the great videos.
Honestly. Its a little too good. It looks like that could be your real fence and you just added the skulls. :)
very informative, I never thought about the 'treated ' furring strips' ive always used the cheapy 98 cent ones for mine, not much quality and hard to find straight ones- very prone to warping I may decide to use higher quality on the fence-
These are so very cool I am going to try to make these this year
Great job, rhinking of possibly doing something like this.
My opinion, paint the pieces before you build it. There is a lot of empty space in the completed sections. Then touch up any marks.
I tried that on the first few sectiosn for my own build, but ended up scrapping it because so much paint scraped away during construction and running the pvc through the three diferent boards. I had originally layed out all my pipes and sprayed everything to not waste paint, then rotated them all together and repeated. Probably a little more efficient, but the constant retouches during assembly was frustrating, and so I opted to just spray it all down once it was locked in..
Thanks man I’m about to start making mine in the next day or so.
House looks great!
Thank you
Awesome video! Can u do a video on how u make pillars
There’s a video on my channel for making the pillars.
Please make more Halloween tutorials!
Fantastic video!!!
Thank you
looks pretty professional to me.
Pilar video please!

what distance did you measure from center to center on the pvc?
can you add your part list with links to your description?
Awesome work 👏 👏👏👍Thank-you for sharing.
What is the distance you measure for the holes how far apart are they?
Awesome tutorial! Thank you for sharing your creativity.
One question I have always had, is for DIY prop and decoration makers, WHERE do you store your creations in the off season? I had some of mine stored in our garage, maybe you are fortunate enough to not have the problems I do, but I found out the hard way that mice LOVE to chew up that foam insulation and other materials to make their nests 😥
I rent a 20x12 storage unit to store everything but planning to just buy storage building/shed for my backyard because the cost of the storage rental keeps going up. I could have paid for a building for what I’ve paid to rent that storage unit.
@@erikgoodwin LOL I bet! Love your tutorials, thanks again for sharing!
Can I ask about how much it cost you to do all of the fence including the skulls?
Also, what was the total time invested to make it?
Can't speak to the time, but I was just pricing up what it would cost to replicate this myself from my local Lowes and finials online, and as of the time of commenting this, it works out to about $75 dollars per 8' length in materials, plus whatever paint/caulking you go with. I'm sure that can fluctuate depending on where you source your PVC though. I see PVC being offered on Marketplace or other sites for cheap or even free quite often.
Looks great. How did you end up doing the pillars? Also, how do you have it standing up? Do you have stakes in the ground or some sort of support? Thanks for posting.
WDSIV I plan to post the pillar video very soon. They are made from 2x4, 1x2, underlayment plywood, and foam board.
The wind took the fence down once so I went back and drilled some holes into the base of the pillars and drove concrete rebar through it to secure to the ground
May I ask what is your layout on the 1x2 for the 7/8 holes from the end of the board to the center of each peace of 1/2 pipe?
Honestly after last year my fence didn't go so well. I bit the bullet and bought the fence lol. Spent about $300 to get the 49 inch tall black metal fence that home depot had. It covered the whole front yard and will pair nicely with my pillars and the amazing stone gargoyles Home Depot has for 2021 Halloween.
$300 for the whole fence? That’s a steal!
What are the black plastic piece called on top of each PVC pipe? Where can I get some?
Go to 8:37 in the video
This is great!
Can you tell me how much space in between each pole line mark and on each end? Thank you.
5 and some change... they’re 8 foot and there are 18 poles.
Lol set a block on the saw so you slide the pipe or whatever up against it at the end and no measuring needed and all pieces will be the same size. Just push to block, cut, cut piece falls away…..,repeat. Work smarter not harder.
Erik, how did you anchor them to the ground?
You can see on my other video at 20:18 ua-cam.com/video/HFGMCuW04fg/v-deo.html
Fantastic
What holds these sections of fence in your yard? Are they just connected to a post in the ground?
I use a short rebar section every 5 pipes and sit the fence down on them
There’s a video on my channel for making the pillars. It shows how I set it all up towards the end
Awesome video, thanks Erik! Hey are those Finial's plastic or steel? Thanks!
Plastic
What is your measurement on 1x2 for your spacing for pvc
What was the price for all this?
Idk if this has been asked.. but where do you store everything?
That's how every fence around every home in my country looks like, but from real reinforced concrete and metal. It's disgusting that you have open front yard, when bad times will come, and they will, you will wish to have fully fenced property.
Must be a really tall fence because most fences can easily be climbed.
Hey Erik, do you remember how many pieces of 1/2” pvc that you used?
18 pieces for each 8 foot section. Somewhere in the video I think I said how long each one is. I can’t remember top of my head.
@@erikgoodwin Do you remeber what you had past the last 1/2 pvc pipe on each section of the 1x2 boards?
Hi, please share the website for the fence spikes. Thanks
It’s in the video description
Building this today…did you end up using the drill press with the forstner 7/8 bit or the regular drill? Wasn’t clear on that. We are using a drill right now with the bit and man is it hard.
I used the forstner bit in a drill press. Drilling all the holes was definitely my least favorite part of the entire project.
@@erikgoodwin yeaaaah my bf just did 1.5 8ft boards and realized he did them 4 inches apart from the middle of each hole…but didn’t think about the whole being 7/8 inch and the holes are actually too close together now for the rings…we don’t have the pvc for the 1 inch rings yet so we weren’t thinking. Did you just measure from the outside of each hole? That’s what’s tricky.
Wheres the pillar video?
There’s a video on my channel for making the pillars.
After Halloween I'm going to finish fencing the whole yard with this why pay a fence contractor?
Awesome!
How much pvc did you have to buy?
What’s the trick to not splintering the wood with the spade bit?
I had to use a forstner bit
Erik - Did you happen to make a video of your pillars?
Just posted it
Wow! Awesome! How many years did it take to complete this? 😅
CTTH100 i will say it took a lot longer than I expected. The pillars probably took longer than the fence. I worked on it for a couple months.
@@erikgoodwin Great work!!! How many finials did it take?
Erik Goodwin Would it be possible for you to do a tutorial on the pillars, please?
how did you make your pillars?
There’s a video on my channel for making the pillars.
Great info what is the the item number on your finial?
94auwing 1-50-34
Erik Goodwin thanks just ordered 500
94auwing That’s a lot of fence! How long is your fence?
Erik Goodwin staring with 27 8 foot panels for a campground haunt.
Cool project but the camera work makes me nauseous...
The diy intro for the fence is so loud
Than “HOW” do you make the pillars?!😠
Ashley Urban Dude, why are you so angry? This video is literally about how he made the /fence/ not the pillars.
