I saw a floating rock island today at the pond store. Very pricey. Looked like real rocks and had turtles sunning on it. I really really need to make one. Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? Follow-Up Postings: Return to |

Does anyone know where I can get black high density foam that floats to make a floating island for my pond? It wouldn't really matter the thickness. I think I can make it cheaper than what they sell for.Thanks! Follow-Up Postings: |
