How many of you have built a stand for your FCG??

Here's mine. I used 2x3's for a frame, 3/4 plywood base. The base and top come off for storage. It is just short enough to be tilted up into position in the upstairs hallway, clears the ceiling by about 1 1/2". The base is very stable and at night with the hallway lights off you can't see the frame at all, everything's painted flat black.

I live in a 90 year old house, even small holes turn into big cracks, eventually.



Two years ago it was an unusually warm Halloween so it was out front in the yard. Maybe you can see the top frame a little better in this picture.

I made one a couple of years ago out of PVC. I draped black cloth from it so I could have the lights on in the house but from outside, a ghost floating in limbo.

I used a frame because my whole house is plaster. You can not just make a simple hole like in the newer homes. A simple hole usually turns into a big piece of plaster bepulled out LOL.
