Description
The Aquascape Faux Rock Cover – Small (SKU 78416) measures 25” long × 15” wide × 9.5” tall, crafted from a heavy-duty, fish-safe fiber-resin composite that delivers a realistic stone appearance while concealing compact pond pumps, valves, aeration compressors, transformers, and small electrical components. An integrated cord slot allows power cords to exit without lifting the cover — a practical design feature for equipment that requires continuous power connections.
The natural faux rock finish blends seamlessly into any garden, pond, or water feature setting. UV-resistant and weather-durable for year-round outdoor use. For larger equipment, see the companion 78417 Large (30” × 18” × 11”H).

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I hide with the 25" × 15" Small Faux Rock Cover?
The Small Faux Rock Cover (78416) is designed for concealing a range of compact outdoor equipment including:
- Aeration compressors and linear air pumps
- Electrical boxes, GFCI outlets, and low-voltage transformers
- Valves, check valves, and small plumbing assemblies
- Small external pond pumps
- Irrigation control components
At 25” long and 15” wide, the Small cover suits most single-component installations. For larger or multi-component assemblies, see the companion 78417 Large (30” × 18” × 11”H).
Is this artificial rock durable enough for all seasons?
Yes. The Aquascape Faux Rock Cover is constructed from a heavy-duty fiber-resin composite — not hollow polyethylene or foam. This material is UV-stable and weather-resistant, designed to withstand extreme temperature fluctuations and year-round outdoor exposure without cracking or fading. The fish-safe composite also means it won’t leach chemicals into nearby pond water during rain or humid conditions.
How much interior clearance does the Small Rock Cover provide?
The 78416 measures 9.5 inches tall externally. Interior clearance will be slightly less due to the shell wall thickness. To ensure a clean fit, measure the tallest point of your equipment and confirm it is meaningfully shorter than 9.5 inches — and allow some additional clearance above the equipment for airflow around heat-generating units such as aeration compressors and transformers.
For equipment taller than approximately 8–9 inches, consider the 78417 Large (11”H) for more comfortable clearance.
Can I drill holes for power cords or ventilation?
Yes. The fiber-resin composite material drills cleanly. An integrated cord slot is already built into the cover, so for most equipment with a single power cord, no drilling is needed — route the cord through the existing slot. For equipment with multiple cables, air tubing, or hose connections, additional holes can be added with a standard drill bit or hole saw without affecting the structural integrity of the shell.
How do I keep the faux rock from blowing away?
The fiber-resin composite shell is heavier than budget polyethylene faux rocks, providing reasonable wind resistance in most conditions. For high-wind areas:
- Press the base edges into mulch or gravel approximately 1 inch deep
- Use landscape pins through the bottom flange if your installation allows
- Surround the base perimeter with decorative stone to anchor it naturally
Easy repositioning for equipment access remains a core design feature — the cover is not intended for permanent anchoring.
Is this rock safe for use near ponds and water features?
Yes. The Aquascape Faux Rock Cover is constructed from a fish-safe fiber-resin composite that will not leach chemicals into nearby pond water. It is non-toxic to koi, goldfish, and all aquatic life — safe to use directly adjacent to pond edges, near water feature plumbing, and in humid environments where water contact during rain is expected.
