Poly Enkamat -. Enkamat is made as an erosion control mat. There are several methods of making hollow form rock and along with the varying methods are different materials that can be used to achieve an outstanding result. What I want to avoid is presenting concepts that are bound to only one use of a material or method and in the faux hollow rock components. As some materials may and have over a period of time have become more difficult to obtain and this is now the case with Enkamat ( Ezy Mat ). I have for many years built transportable boulders successfully with a fabric called "wadding". Please refer to the web page on Building hollow rock and you will find a visual description on the second page.
Please contact us for any further details.

Children
Kids love a bit of artificial rockmaking. Make sure you have young ones protected in appropriate clothing and safety attachments. Be sure to keep them away from neat portland cement and colour hardeners, particularly if there are a few children who might start throwing cementous powders around or accidentally rub some in their eyes. The same applies to mortar and concrete mixes.
- Make a habit of reading the safety instructions on the packaging of purchased products.
DISCLAIMER.
Rock making as revealed in our dvd titles, written text and photographic images does not require a high degree of physical fitness to undertake however it does involve
physical involvement including bending, lifting and general landscaping preparations. As much of rock making is likely to be outdoors we recommend you take into account
dressing for protection not only against the elements but that a consistent part off your hands on attire are protective gloves, safety glasses and dust mask particularly when you are
working with and shaping wires, using cements, concretes, colour hardeners and using a cement mixer. Have the wind to your back when you are using colour hardeners.
We do not recommend nor endorse the construction of any structure over one metre or 3.3ft in height without qualified and approved guidelines and qualified assistance
Attempting to construct artificial rock in or around swimming pools and or building overhead structures such as caves without qualified experience is definitely not recommended nor endorsed or suggested in any way by the authors of and in the artificial rock instructional series nor its distributors or resellers.
