Yes the tent held up great. Just small but the kids had fun!

It took us about 3 days to set this one up. We used 2x4s to make the supports, one on each side (angled) then one on top. After we took 2x4s and ran those across the top to hold it together, and covered it with black polyurethane. It was almost 100' long. I also put polyurethane on the inside to make separate rooms for the different props and decorations. That way you couldn’t see what was coming next!

Here's my grave crawler & pop-up. I took most of the ideas off a site, and then added a few of my own. I tell you what; I have learned a lot this year about prop building. But I know I've only just begun.

And then there was the witch. Two days before Halloween night, I put this thing together. My wife says to me (YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO PUT A WITCH TOGETHER). That was all I needed to hear. I thought to myself oh ya! I have some more details I'll add for next year (like sound and lighting) but I thought it was good for a start.
