Hide a Huge Propane Tank

Do you like the Beetles?

Why are you even asking permission?

Just drape a sheet over it and get the event over with.

You said it would be 30 minutes.

By the time they complain you'll be done and gone.

I don't understand why some people need to make things harder on themselves.

Knowing the restrictions you have, I think the saw horse is the best idea.

That's a kinda important variable to mention up front.

I agree with the previous poster, just throw something over it without asking permission. Beg for forgiveness afterwards if it becomes an issue.

Otherwise, a screen of some sort (two t-posts and a decorative cloth strung between them), or arrange the service so it's facing away from the tank.

3 pieces of 1/2" EMT conduit. Two driven into the ground, one ziptied as a cross bar. Drape with your choice of fabric. A couple of hours with a printer you could turn it into a photo wall.

Something like this.

Start on either end with photos of you as children, transition to couples photos in the middle.

Shower curtain too. Toyman just gave me that idea.

The hanging sheet/curtain idea is awesome, however, I'm not sure we can come up with that enough pictures that quickly.

A couple of palm fronds and some fru fru stuff will do the same thing. You are probably better off turning it into a focal point, rather than trying to hide it.

You also might try emailing the families. They may surprise you with how many pictures will turn up. Tell them that's the price of admission.

My first thought is rent a few of the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubemen sold by Al Harrington at Al Harrington's Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman Emporium and Warehouse.

But you can rent lots of items - http://www.eventsbyeagle.com/pipe-drape-rentals.asp

the fence is $12 to rent.

We dug a hole and hid it with dirt

I just want to comment that I am still upset that since I was unable to be in my brothers wedding, since my son was due the same day, I did not plan enough in advance to setup a wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube man to stand in my spot.......

That is all........

Sure you can.

Who said the pictures have to be of real people you know?

Random google wedding pics, pics of stuff you like, pics of things you are dreaming of or hoping for, etc, etc.

You can do it in less than an hour.

Don't overthink it. You don't have time for that.

You could make a few phone calls to people and use phrases like "bomb", "propane tank" "al Qaeda", ect in your conversations and maybe the NSA will take care of it for you?

some options :)

Stay single ---> Problems solved.

Paint it silver, set it on fire and run around screaming 'oh the humanity', sell video, honeymoon in Fiji

Too late for that.

100 gallon isn't very big. use a camo tarp, on just before the ceremony, off ASAP after, done deal.

Nobody will even know it's there!

Raid their facebooks?

Did they do an engagement photo session?

David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear. I think I still have him in my rolodex somewhere...

In reply to pinchvalve:

He also made Claudia Schiffer appear so he may be a bit better magician than most.

Stick a bigger propane tank in front of it, should hide it completely.
