| I was doing a pond-related search and came across Rock on a Roll. I know that sometimes people ask about ways to disguise the pond liner that shows above the water. This is a vinyl material that looks like the surface of a rock and there are photos that show it in use on ponds and streams. I don't know if this would be a viable solution but thought I'd mention it. |

| What a great way to cover the black pond liner!!! Looks like good stuff! Glad you posted about it! |
|
| The stuff sounds like a good idea but I can't say that their own pictures were an enticement. It seems like free rocks, logs, and driftwood in addition to inexpensive plants and vines or grasses easily do the trick. |

| Hi has anuyone ever seen the stuff?? Is it actually dimensional or just flat printed?? Seemed rather expensive if just flat ?? gary |

| One photo seems to show it does have dimension but from the way they are using it, I would be worried about wicking. |

| Since it is vinyl it might not wick; though just plain old dirt wicks if it touches the water. I am going to get some and try it out. I'll let you know what I think. |

| I ran across this stuff online the other day, and would be really interested in your evaluation of it, if you buy some. Mike |

| Received the Rock on a Roll. Unfortunately it is raining and I can't take it outside to really look at it. From the dim lighing in the computer room it does look like rock. It is dimentional and rough like a rock. I will post more this weekend when I can get it outside and really try it out. So far I am very impressed with what I see and feel (feels like the big old rock that sits at the edge of the property). Maybe this will be just what I need to disguise the parts of the skippy filter that are exposed and the ugly pipe that shows. Anne |

| Never heard of it but it does seem very promising. Even though it is still not a natural material it looks significantly better than shiny black liner or plastic pots, pipes, buckets, barrels etc. |

| I finished the Rock on a Roll projects I was working on. The link to the report is below. The end result is that I like it. It is well made and looks and feels real. |
