Move over traditional ghosts, goblins, and witches—this year, we’re building a giant 5-foot PVC spider that’s sure to be the centerpiece of your Halloween décor. Perfect for front yard or rooftop displays, haunted houses, Halloween parties, stage props, or anywhere you want to add a creepy-crawly vibe, this project is versatile and customizable.
We offer three Fittings-Only Kits (available in budget friendly Utility grade, or Furniture Grade Black or White) and two Complete Fittings & Pipe Kits to suit your needs. With the Fittings-Only Kit, you can customize the spider’s size by sourcing your own PVC pipes, making it as large or small as you’d like. The Complete Kit, once assembled, measures approximately 69” x 67” x 18”, creating an impressive and eerie display. Additionally, choose from three Fastener Add-On options for easy and secure assembly.
This project is perfect for family fun, youth groups, activity clubs, or drama departments looking to create memorable Halloween setups. The White Fittings Kit or White Pipe & Fittings Kit allows you to unleash your imagination with custom colors and finishes—paint it, add glow-in-the-dark accents, or keep it sleek and spooky. Get ready to impress your neighbors and trick-or-treaters with this budget-friendly, easy-to-build PVC spider that’s sure to make a big impact!

Get ready for Halloween with a chilling DIY PVC Haunted Halloween Tunnel that transforms your yard into a spooky spectacle! This easy-to-build project uses PVC pipes and connectors to create a tunnel perfect for trick-or-treaters, Halloween parties, or haunted house setups. Decorated with spider webs, black gauze, and eerie orange and purple lights, it’s a budget-friendly way to thrill your neighborhood. (If you follow us, this style of hoop house looks familiar, RIGHT!?)
Build the tunnel with just a few 10-foot PVC pipes, Tee and Cross connectors, and rebar stakes for stability. Hammer rebar into the ground, connect pipes into arches, and link them with shorter pipes for a sturdy three-arch frame. Add a projector screen with zip ties for spooky video projections from sources like AtmosFX or YouTube, making it a hit with kids and adults alike. Customize with extra decorations to match themes like “Pirate’s Cove” or “Sleepy Hollow.”
This project is quick to assemble, reusable, and expandable—"ours grew from three to six arches with neighbors joining the fun!" Whether you keep it simple or go all-out with a solid cover for a true tunnel effect, this PVC haunt is sure to become an annual tradition.
Here's a parts list, you'll definitely want to make sure and use SLIP TEE's and SLIP CROSSES on this project so you don't have to cut as much pipe.
7 PVC Pipes: 1/2 in. x 10 ft, Schedule 40 PVC Plain End Pipe
6 Rebar Stakes: 3/8 in. x 2 ft. Rebar
2 Tee Connectors: 1/2″ PVC Slip Tee
1 Cross Connector: 1/2 in. PVC Slip Cross
Halloween Decor
This smart idea comes from craftymorning.com and it's one that just makes sense. An easy way to create fun looking candy
stands for your front porch. Simply use PVC pipe and Screw Tab Caps to create your pumpkin candy bucket stands. Don't forget, to make sure they don't get knocked over easily you'll want solid bases or feet for these little guys. The best method to create your feet for your pumpkin is to use a 2x4 piece of wood and drill a hole in it to form some boots for the pumpkin feet. You'll need a couple of other items to make this idea come to life. First pick a Halloween themed bucket or pumpkin bucket to make the head and then you'll need to attach your PVC pipes to the bottom of that using screws and Screw Tab caps. For this idea you should use 1 inch PVC pipe and fittings. This will make sure you have sturdy legs to hold a heavy bucket of candy. As for the boots/feet you will need a 2x4 cut down to about 6 inches long and then you will want to drill into the side with a spade style drill bit large enough to fit your 1 inch PVC pipe. The outside diameter of 1 inch PVC is 1.315" so you will want a bit like this one which is a 1-3/8" to fit your pipe: https://a.co/d/e8eX7LJ (pro tip: you can also use the same screw tab caps on the bottom of the pipe, instead of a wooden block, and screw that into a wooden platform and cover the bottom with some old shoes or boots by cutting a hole in bottom of the shoe. This would be the most sturdy option)
Once you have all your parts together you can add tape to the legs or paint the character. This will be a fun way to make your porch stand out this fall! We love these ideas and there are so many more out there! Which one's will you decorate with this year? Let us know in the comments and feel free to share your next great PVC ideas!
