I found pics of our cave being built 4 years ago. Maybe this will help with ideas on how to start your own cave. I built this inside 10x20 and 20x20 tents I used baling wire to tie chicken wire to the tent and pull it in the shape of a cave then covered it with weed control ground cloth and attached the cloth to the wire as close as I could with hog ring clips. Also used tying twine with a hook needle so i could sew it from one side.

Very cool stuff! We started building a cave last night for our first season. I will take some pics of our process so people can see two different options in doing a cave scene. Similar, but a little different"My day is not complete unless I have terrified a complete stranger!"

I just have to say that I am truley impressed. I've been wanting to put together a Mine town theme for a couple of years, and your design now has my "mind running amuck"!
How many square feet did you end up with? And where did you purchase the Tiger foam, and how expensive was your project?
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for getting back to me. So you used 4 kits, and I see each kit covers 650 sq. feet. How how thick did your wall come out? Did you shoot the first layer on the inside, and then do a second layer on the outside after removing the tarp material?
Also, how well is the foam holding up to UV? And last, but not least, what kind of paint did you use? Latex or something with an etching compound?
I know I won't have time for this season, but I am already getting materials lined up for a build for next year.
Thanks!
