Objects such as well heads can be unsightly and pose a tripping hazard. This is my solution to this problem. Here, I create a hollow faux rock to cover the drain valve from my newly constructed lily pool.

  • What is the cost to make the rock shown in the video?

  • @vdeish1 That is very difficult to determine off the top of my head. My guess is a couple dollars. Since I'm not in the business of making them for other people, I've never had to cost it out.

  • Where do you get your supplies? Would it be possible to make a waterfall on the edge of a pool?

  • @824twyles I get most of my supplies from local home improvement stores. Acrylic comes from concrete supplier. Fiber is ordered online. Send me a PM with an email address and I'll send lists of possible suppliers.

  • @824twyles Putting waterfalls at the edge of swimming pools is done all the time. Google "swimming pool waterfalls".

  • I use Butterfield brand acid stain because it is available locally. The three colors that I use are Taupe, Tannin and Cordovan Leather. Taupe gives shades of brown from light tan to dark, almost black, depending on the amount applied. Tannin has a yellow to orange caste. Cordovan leather gives shades of reddish-brown.

  • Great job master!

  • Don,What is the color and name brand of the acid stain you used on the wall with the valve on it

  • @MrDarby76  Send me a PM with your email address and I'll send you a list of sources. Fiber does not have to be polypropylene. It can be alkaline-resistant glass fiber. Check concrete suppliers and countertop manufacturers as well.

  • Does anybody know where you can get this polypropylene fiber? I have searched around the web and anybody who sells it only sells it by the ton!
