Rickety Floor
An unstable, rickety old floor is a great way to catch visitors to your haunt off guard, especially when lights are low. It’s a simple project, and if you’re so inclined (pun intended), Raymond from RFHaunt has a tutorial on how to quickly and easily add this effect to your haunt. Your floor will be made of plywood and is best suited to a hallway section where you can have it extend from wall to wall.
You’ll start by making a stationary section which consists of your piece of plywood with sections of 1 x 2 lumber nailed to the entire length of the center and both sides. For the rocking piece you’ll simply nail the 1 x 2 to the length of the center which will allow it to rock back and forth when you walk on it. You’ll want to be careful to make sure there are no gaps between the two sheets of plywood because you don’t want anyone getting their feet stuck in between and a piece of carpet draped on top of it allows for worry free enjoyment.
Items needed to complete this include:
- Two large plywood boards
- On thin length of wood
- (Optional) Thick Carpeting
