How We Built Our Hyper-Realistic Cemetery Gate

VanOaks Props walks through the construction of a hyper-realistic fake cemetery gate that has repeatedly fooled viewers into mistaking it for the real thing. The build combines plywood structure, foam detailing, decorative moldings, and skilled faux painting to achieve a convincing stone-and-metal appearance. Recovered build photos help guide the tutorial, and companion column-building videos are referenced for additional context.
