Last year Mother Nature was very unkind to my Halloween cemetery.  She did the best she could with incessant high wind and rain to trash the thing.  More than once I had to take in all the tombstones or see them winging their way up the road.  She really beat up the cemetery arch and took off a lot of the finials (skulls and pumpkins) from the fence.

 I retired the arch since it really was beat up from the weather so I need to make myself another cemetery archway, gateway or whatever, lol.  I'm going to construct this one from pvc pipe, wood strips and black spray paint specifically made to stick to plastic (the same as the fence itself).  In addition to the archway, I am planning on creating a fake gate out of thin strips of wood and thin pvc pipe.  I'll make it in two small sections which will be independently attached to the ground via stakes up the pvc pipe. I'm going to replace the finials with skulls (the pumpkins were a bit cute), and I'll rig up something to put on the archway; I did save the welcome sign from the archway, so perhaps that will be a good start for archway decor.  We'll see how it goes.
