New Curved Walls for 2010 Haunt

This is an Idea I got after I attended a Haunted Attraction Auction this last spring,
The room had a curved arch to it.  Using an arched cut of OSB, and 4X8' laminate bowed to fit it using
clamps and Gorilla Glue, and screws.  It think it turned out pretty sweet.

I started by cutting out an arch for the size needed  for the length of the
arched hallway. This is done by staking a center point attaching
a rope/wire/string and extending it out the width of the hallway
then mark on your wood to be cut the arch pattern and then cut out.

  • After cutting 4 arches out, one for the top and bottom of each wall I started attaching 2X4 to the arch.
Measure along the arch and place a mark at the 2' mark


  • Attach the 1st 2X4 at this mark, use 1 1/2" drywall screws,and Gorilla Glue or similar wood glue.


  • Continue to 4' and attach 2X4, and at start of arch this is what you should have left over.

  • I forgot to mention cut each 2X4 down 1" to make up for the two 1/2"OSB boards to keep
  • your wall at 8'.

  • My first wall I attached all the 2x4s length wise, then with the need of 2 sections of Laminate I laid the 4' mark 2X4 on its side to allow the panels to but up against each other


  •  Here is the wall without paint.











 
  •  This is a mural I painted on the curved walls here it is with some airbrushing Started.
  • You can paint anything on them, or leave them black use your imagination.




  • Here is the completed wall, in the background you can see the second curved wall being started.
