This is how we had the skeletons displayed last year. Since then, we’ve removed all of the shrubs so I had to get creative on how I was going to secure them and make them look like they’re climbing on the house.

We had a lot of extra wood in the garage from previous projects so I decided to make a ladder out of it.

I wanted it to look spooky and imperfect so I just eye balled the measurements and cut the “steps” to somewhat fit.

Then, I used my nail gun to secure the wood.

This is how it came out. Perfectly imperfect.

I secured the skeleton with zip-ties. To secure the ladder, I added garden stakes to the ground and zip-tied the legs of the ladder to them. We already had a screw under the soffit so I used a string to secure the top of the ladder to it just in case we got any late season hurricanes.

This is how it looks now. We have a few more skeletons to add but I’m liking how it’s turning out so far! This project took me a total of thirty minutes and cost nothing (since I don’t throw out any extra lumber)!
