Building False Rocks for your Enclosure
Written by Stuart McDougall on December 10, 2006
Page 1 of 6

Introduction

This article is about how I built my false rock to fit my enclosure. Having a standard 4ft x 2ft x 2ft enclosure, I decided to give it a facelift. I had a piece of faux rock made from molded resin which looked great in the tank. I wanted to make the new enclosure look along the lines of the faux rock without costing me the fortune that a pre-molded rock would cost. So I started to investigate how to make false rock. The following is how I made it and what I used to do it with. This is only meant to be a guide to help you.

First I went out and purchased the following:

- 3 Polystyrene sheets, 4ft x 1ft-10" at 2" thick sheeting
- 1 Polystyrene sheet, 4ft x 1ft-10" at 1" thick sheeting
- Floor tile grout
- Poly-expandable foam
- "No Nails" for Polystyrene / or similar contact adhesive
- Appx. 500ml of water-resistant PVA (non-toxic children's version)
- Paints (non-toxic acrylic paint)
- Plastic artists pallet knifes (6 piece set)
- ½" Paint Brush
