This project will explain how to build some very realistic cemetery fence for your graveyard or just to keep your guests from walking into places you don’t want them to. This project is for building a 4 ft section of fence.
Construction
1. 22 ft of 3/4 inch PVC pipe (they usually come in 10 ft pieces)
2. 8 ft of 1 X 1 wood strapping
3. Box of 1-1/4 long wood screws
4. Triangle points for the top of the fence made out of plastic corrugated cardboard
5. Black spray paint
To start off you want to cut the PVC pipe in to certain lengths. You want to cut 2 of each of the following lengths.
PVC pipe lengths
2 X 36 inch
2 X 34 inch
2 X 32 inch
2 X 30 inch
Once you have all the pieces of pipe cut you need to attach them to the 2 pieces of wood strapping. You want to screw the pipe into the wood every 6 inches on center. But you want the 2 pieces of wood to be 3 inches from the bottom of the fence and the top piece of wood 3 inches below the shortest piece of pipe. Start the first pipe in 3 inches from the edge of the wood. You can pre-drill the holes in the PVC pipe to make it easier. You want to screw into the wood first, and then screw into the pipe. Take a look at the picture below for some guidance..
