12. Victorian-Style Faux Iron Fence
Give your front yard the look of an old, abandoned cemetery by crafting a Victorian-style wrought iron fence. Real metal fencing is expensive and heavy, but you can create a convincing replica using black spray-painted PVC pipes and pool noodles for the decorative post caps and finials.
Cut black pool noodles into short segments to act as decorative connectors or horizontal rails along your fence panels. You can carve the tops of the noodles into pointed gothic spears or ornate fleur-de-lis shapes using a utility knife. Slide these foam pieces onto your vertical PVC fence posts. Spray-paint the entire assembly with a textured hammered-metal spray paint to give it the weight and sheen of real iron. This lightweight fence is easy to set up on your lawn using simple wooden stakes, instantly transforming your property into a spooky, historic graveyard.
