How long did it take to build?

It took approximately three weeks to complete the maze, with no work being done the last few days before Halloween.

How did you build the maze?

We laid the floor first using tape and more or less winged the pathway to include alcoves or cubbies to place animations and other decor. Using the taped pathway, we hung a cord, creating a grid from the ceiling using hooks in the walls to hold the ends of the cord to align with the vertical and horizontal taped pathways. Once the grid was in place, we cut and hung plastic from the grid, creating the walls. Once the walls were in place, we added decor and animation to the alcoves. We utilized the bottom of the plastic that was cut from the original sheets to create curtains. Strips were cut, and bugs, spiders, or snakes were drawn on using markers.

How much plastic did you use?

We purchased two rolls of plastic from a home improvement store. We didn't use all of the second roll.

How much tape did you use?

Too much! We purchased several different types of tape when we had problems with the tape sticking. I believe we still have at least two rolls left.

will you build a maze next year?

We're not sure. But we at least have hooks in the walls and supplies we purchased to make next year easier, if we do.

Have you built mazes in the past?

Yes, we've built several mazes when we lived in California. We had a lot of animations and Halloween decor built up from previous years.
