My driveway is a parking lot, it’s probably 35-40ft across but cool idea. Beautiful to see your kids working with you on a cool project I’m sure they were excited about.
This is so cool. I’m not sure I can make one this big yet but I’m going to try a small arch this year and go bigger in the future if it goes well. Thanks for sharing!
The little helpers definitely came in handy! That is great that you had them involve. These will be great memories they will remember. God bless you all.
Thanks for watching! Oh yeah it definitely makes it a lot of fun for me to include them. They may not remember it when they get older, but hopefully they can look back at some of these videos and see themselves how I see them now. I'm very blessed. God bless you as well!
I see you added tape to your connections. I struggled last year with the connectors and this year added pipe strapping strips of metal and drilled holes and used thumb screws and nuts which extended the length of the charlotte connectors. I covered them with garland so it doesn't look so industrial during the day
Thank you for watching! Yeah I was really worried about the wind knocking it all down, but it has held up really good. It's been a really nice addition to the display.
This is awesome! Looking forward to trying this! I have some spare 1/2" PVC, do you think the arch would hold up with that diameter, rather than 3/4", or would that not be sturdy enough?
Yeah i think I would work with 1/2inch pvc. It may be a little more wiggly, but if you secure it good with pvc it should be fine. If you think it isn't sturdy enough just wrap some guy wire and stake it to the ground on each side to help stabilize it. Hope it turns out well. Merry Christmas!
Great video! Your explanations are great and really liked how you explained your reasoning. The lights look fantastic. I’m doing RGB lights with music and happen to find your arches video.
Yeah. That works well for those whose soil isn't full of rocks just 2 inches down, like here in Texas. I'd have to resort to rebar here, unfortunately.
They were about 2 1/2 feet long and I just hammered them straight in as far as I could. The clay soil where I'm at makes it really hard to hammer anything very deep. I got them in about a foot or so deep. Thank you for watching!
@jaydentaylorvlogs Thank you for watching! I don't remember exactly, but adding up my materials list it's somewhere between $250-$350 if you have to buy everything.
my driveway is 21ft wide. Last year I used 2 inch and had to bolt them cause they were so stiff! Which diameter would you think so they are strong but a little more bendable?
@bobbySullivan, I am looking to do this this year on a 21 ft wide driveway...did you find the arch to be high enough with this supply list or did you have to add more length across?
I was ready to build a similar driveway tunnel until I saw FedEx drive up my driveway with their big box truck and realized they'd never fit under the arches. So I had to move my tunnel in the backyard. Way less chance of a FedEx driver running them down.
Everything has held up really good! We had a few days of high winds, but it stayed standing. It was a really awesome addition to the display. My wife did manage to almost take it out a few times backing up out of the driveway, but it's all good!haha thanks for watching!

I couldn’t nothing but smile and laugh when the 5yr old came to the camera and introduced herself.
Thanks for sharing. I have been trying to make an arch driveway for years. I hope i can tackle this one.

Great instructions and video , what is the peak height of the arches? Is it Greater than 8ft tall for my car to go under? Thank you.
Yeah peak height is higher than 8ft. I'm not exactly sure what the height but it was at least at 10ft peak height.
Would it of been easier to make the arch on the ground then lift it up and put it in the pieces rounded into the ground
This was so helpful, thank you for sharing and your helpers are adorable.
@@lisadominguez7560 Thank you for watching! They had a lot of fun helping!
Hey, one of my favorite lawntubers. Lol great video.
Thank you, i appreciate the nice words. Have a Merry Christmas!!

@@OutoftheWeeds Thanks for the feedback, gonna give it a shot!
Great video! Your explanations are great and really liked how you explained your reasoning. The lights look fantastic. I’m doing RGB lights with music and happen to find your arches video.
Thank you! I really appreciate that. I hope that your project turns out great.
I like you use of PVC anchors instead of rebar
Yeah. That works well for those whose soil isn't full of rocks just 2 inches down, like here in Texas. I'd have to resort to rebar here, unfortunately.
How big were your 1 1/4 base pieces and how far did you hammer them in. Did they go straight in or did you have to cut them to points on them.
They were about 2 1/2 feet long and I just hammered them straight in as far as I could. The clay soil where I'm at makes it really hard to hammer anything very deep. I got them in about a foot or so deep. Thank you for watching!
Hi Amelia I like your arch
This looks awesome, what was the cost start to finish to do something like this?
@jaydentaylorvlogs Thank you for watching! I don't remember exactly, but adding up my materials list it's somewhere between $250-$350 if you have to buy everything.
@ thank you! Super helpful and super do-able/in the budget. It’s crazy what companies are charging for something similar.
my driveway is 21ft wide. Last year I used 2 inch and had to bolt them cause they were so stiff! Which diameter would you think so they are strong but a little more bendable?
I used 3/4 in. It was very flexible. I think much more than that, and it would get pretty stiff. Thank you for watching!

What a helpful video ! The girls were cute
@@genevievemassucci8787 Thank you! We are trying to decide what we want to build for this year.haha

Should of done it with them on the ground.
How well did it hold up?

So no pvc cement, no screws installed. There are no zip ties on top of archers for the lights. Sorry, but I see this crashing down. Good job, though
It didn't though.
