Cool. Did you build those pumpkin tower shelves yourself or buy them?
Now is not the time for fear, that comes later

I built them myself. All I used was pvc pipe and cut small squares of plywood for the pumpkins to sit on. Im trying to come up with a new way to display them this year. I like to change things up every year.

Those shelves you built for pumpkin display are simple but effective. Using them again this Halloween? Or have you crafted something new in your lab, with panels and pvc?

I love those stands! They give such height to your display and show off your pumpkins beautifully. 8)

I'm glad Ryan resurrected this post. I totally missed it.

That walk up to your house is fantastic. The corn field and scarecrow are really well done. I see what looks like PVC pipes at the base of the corn stalks. Do you have some support rod for them? or is there no wind where you live? :)

The shelves are a great idea. The same idea would work great for making a stair case or wall to set them on.

The towers being 5 pumpkins high was a little too high especially for the little ones. This year I have 2 towers at 4 high and 11 towers at 2 high. Im having a path through the yard this year and all of those towers will be the path markers along with other props. I put the cornstalks into pvc pipe and it worked great. The wind had really no effect on them at all.
