It hasn't been painted yet, but it's done. I will probably paint it tomorrow, and I will get photos of the fence I made.

When I'm finished I will put some chain on it. The gate is only for display purpose in my front lawn. Tell me what you like or dislike about it. Thanks.

Hi there Spook,

I think the uneven look is far better than building one perfectly even. I love this look more and more. In addition to the chain you're going to add, moss really finishes a fence off extremely well. Just make sure if your going to place it where people might be inclined to lean on it, that it's properly weighted and strong enough. Great job!

Thanks I did do it uneven on purpose, I mean, have you ever seen a haunted house with perfect fence? Also, about people leaning on it, I always have the display roped off, so people dont wander in.

Nicely done, Spookkid! can't wait to see it finished. I agree on the moss idea - I love this stuff and it gives it that really 'overgrown and forgotten about' look.

Good job, I agree with the moss idea for the overgrown look. I might add another bar between the two you've got there to make it look more functional. Even just a short one between the cross members would do the trick. Some foam spear points on the top of the bars as finials.

Well, there was a big storm today, and my gate was standing great. So I thought I would take some video of the gate withstanding the wind and rain. I got out my video camera, and I was about to video tape it when, it falls down. Theres no damage, but now I know that it can withstand the wind somewhat. The gate was so sturdy, that it ripped the steaks holding it up out of the ground.

That looks great Spookkid. You could add a little rust colored pain too for an aged effect.

Hi Spook, it's looking good!

i agree with adding a few more upright posts i think that would help it a lot - got a great start and it sounds like its sturdy - i just did a quick and easy rust batina on my spiked wall yesterday - a tip would be to use layers - i think theres about 5 on mine - stil only took about an hour - you can see it at my undertakings build thread - might come in handy - keep us posted
