- In this video I will show you have to make Pedestals for Halloween statues (and other statues) that will withstand heavy winds, rain and can even be set up at a bit of an angle if you are on a hill. I use two Home Depot buckets, 1/2 in PVC and 1 1/2 inch insulation board. I coat it with a special mix of monster mud that I first saw in a Vanoaksprops video. The mix is at the 2:40 mark of this video. • How to Make Monster Mu... . The pedestals are normally between 25 and 28 inches tall although you can alter things to make them taller. Unfortunately it was a windy day and you can hear it in the background of a couple of parts of the video.
This goes with another video I made today about how to modify your statues so they will be well anchored on your pedestal. That video can be found here. • DIY….Modifying statues...
Over the last couple of years stores like Home Depot have come out with some great looking statues for Halloween. Unfortunately they look best displayed on pedestals which are not easily available. Buying pedestals quickly gets expensive, especially if you have a lot of statues. I’ve made pedestals in the past out of wood that are heavy, bulky and labor intensive to build. Last year I made some out of concrete cardboard tubes which I liked, but had mixed success out doors. The method I came up with this year will hold up in rain and wind, are relatively inexpensive. They are extremely light weight and sturdy.
