How To Make A Big Spider Web For Halloween! GALLERY

Don makes the framework for his webs about 60 feet wide and 35 feet high, attached to trees. The center of his webs, the woven part, is between 12 and 18' feet across. He makes a new web each year and sometimes uses the older webs in another part of our garden or in a neighbors garden. He uses very tall ladders. He does the framework during the daytime and he usually weaves his webs at night, using spotlights. Some of the neighbors call him Spiderman.
