Is It Easy To Attach Spiders & Spider Webs To A House?

One reason these Giant Spiders are great is the bendable wires in their legs. The wire makes it easy to attach spiders to a house with command clips, they also wrap around webs, and more.

Each leg of this spider is wrapped around the web, to hold it in place.

That means you can easily shape them for a realistic spider pose. And, you can fold them up into a small box when it’s time to pack everything away. I LOVE that!

These Giant Spider Halloween decorations are super affordable too. I spent just $85 to get this look that I’ll use for years!

The third reason I love this Giant Spider theme is their SIZE. They’re big, so you don’t need a lot to cover even a long house like mine.

Which means you can get a huge over the top look in no time. It only took me about an hour to unfold, shape, and hang these giant spiders and spider webs on my house.

These decorations were so easy to put up. NEXT YEAR, I think I’ll add pull apart spider webs everywhere with tons of baby spiders.

Now, let’s talk about how to hang spiders on brick, stucco, or siding outdoors.

How To Hang Giant Spiders on a House

There are many ways that you can hang these Giant Spiders on your house, without damaging the surface. And, without making any holes.

If you have smooth siding, stucco or painted brick that’s pretty smooth, like mine, you can use 3M Outdoor Command Clear Light Clips.

Using command clips to attach giant spiders to brick, stucco, or siding house.
Here’s a close up of a giant spider leg inside the clear Command clips.

Those Outdoor Command Clips and other Command Strips work on glass, doors, and shutters too. For brick that isn’t painted, you can use damage-free brick clips to hang spiders on a house.

For glass and other smooth surfaces, you can also use heavy duty suction cup hooks. And, last but not least, heavy duty, Double-Sided Mounting Tape is another great option for hanging decorations outside.

Some of these can work on partially rough surfaces, like some bricks, stucco, and stone surfaces. Hopefully, one of these will work on your house.

It’s easy to slip the legs of the Giant Spiders inside the rounded clip on these Outdoor Command Light Strips.

How To Hang Spider Webs Outdoors

The 2 huge webs I used make it SO EASY to hang spider webs on a house. The bottom of the webs are held tight to the ground with ground stakes. The stakes came with my webs.

The top of the web has a gutter hook. So, you can quickly hang it on a gutter, a hook hung on the side of the house, or anywhere else you can hang a hook on your house.

How to hang spider webs outside, on brick, stucco, siding, windows, vinyl, etc.

I was afraid that my gutter would be bent if I hung the hook there, so I hung mine under the gutter. Watch the video above to see exactly what I did.

Here’s a few more photos of the spiders outside my house.

10 Best Giant Spider Outdoor Halloween Decorations!

10 Best Giant Spider Outdoor Halloween Decorations

Here's the 10 best giant spider outdoor Halloween decorations I found on Amazon.

Shopping Tip: The prices for these items on Amazon will be higher during the month of October.

If you want to buy them during October, I'd check your local stores first.

AND, you might be able to get great deals on Halloween decorations, online or in the stores, right after Halloween.

That's usually when sellers try to sell whatever they still have at a deal, so they don't have to wait until next year.

1

200" Halloween Spider Web + 59" Giant Spider

I have 2 sets of these in my yard. It's 1 cobweb with the hook and stakes you need to put it up. And, 2 - 6 1/2 foot giant spiders with bendable wires in the legs that let you shape and pose the spider any way you want.
