Here is my new cemetery entrance gate and sign for 2013. It was my only major prop build for the year, but it looked great at the foot of my driveway, even in the pouring rain on Halloween night (these photos were taken in my yard right after the build was completed a few days before Halloween).
Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I was pleased with the way the sign turned out. I wanted to try out Devil's Rust, but I ran out of time and just had to use spray paint.
I may try to add a wrought iron gate for next year...
:jol:I am in the same boat as you Shawn, no idea how I missed this thread. Very nice work on these columns HB! You make such creative stone work, it looks REAL. Just an awesome entrance, I love it.
Very nice cemetery gate. Is it very heavy and can it withstand strong winds? I live in Missouri and every year I have to repair props that were damaged by winds. Even with my best anchoring efforts I still have to repair my props when something is blown over.
It has a wood framework to give it some extra weight, so it stands pretty solid. We had some wind (and a whole lot of rain) on Halloween night and they stood without any movement. The only thing that moved a little was the arched sign, because it fit down over a couple pieces of PVC-it isn't permanently attached to anything.
That looks like it came right off of a movie set. Perfect lanterns.
