You will need :

Plastic corrugated sheet
Ruler
Pencil
Marker
Sharp Knife
Black spray paint

To start with, draw pencil lines down the sheet at every 3 inches, and across at inch intervals.



Using a marker, draw a line from alternate 1 inch lines at a diagonal to each 3 inch line, then draw your next diagonal from the 3 inch line back to the next 1 inch line down, and by extending each line through you should have a number of diamonds 6 inches long by 2 inches wide which you can now cut out.



Next you will need to make vertical cuts 5/8 inch from each side and 1/8 inch wide. This leaves a centre piece ½ inch to insert into your fence post



Spray black and insert into each post on your fence



The effect is quite realistic and the cost is minimal

thats a great idea and looks great too!! Building a PVC fence is on my 'to do' list this yr thanks for the tutorial

Now how clever is that! Thanks! A fence is already on the to-do list, so the timing is perfect.

Awesome! Now I know how I will top my mausoleum gate! Thanks!

I love the spikes and like the others, plan on doing a pvc fence. Now here's the dumb question: where do you get plastic corrugated sheet? Home Depot?

Not sure where you can buy the corrugated sheet ... I had a couple of signs that I used ... maybe with the elections coming up you might find some signs for sale that can be turned to a better use lol .... I will do some googling to see where this can be got from but in the meantime does anyone know where plastic corrugate sheet can be bought ?

Most plastic supply houses have them. Here in Seattle we have places like Tap plastics, Universal plastics. I believe its called coroplast. Google it, there might be a supplier near you. You can even get it in black!

Thanks scourge and Herman Secret, I'll look around. I'm not in a huge city so it may be hard to find, but maybe I'll find something comparable. And getting it in black would sure save an extra step!

I found corrugated plastic in all colors at my local art supply shop, it was pretty cheep too.

Great idea! Will have to add it this year! Cool thing is you can make the topper in different shapes, not just spikes. One of those great ideas I wish I had thought of, Many Thanks!
