"RockOn" Propane Tank Cover

RockOn Propane Tank Cover ENERGY Miscellaneous Don Smith got tired of looking at propane tanks in beautifully landscaped yards So the California home builder came up with a natural-looking hollow rock that fits over the tank His RockOn™ propane tank covers not only hide tanks they also protect them “I came across a unique polymer and it looked extremely realistic – like an actual rock ” Smith explains He patented the idea found a manufacturer and started selling the covers a couple of years ago The 4 by 4 by 10-ft rock shape covers a 250 320 or 500-gal propane tank At 180 lbs two men can easily place it Six 10-in spikes secure it to the ground and a disguised lid provides access to fill the tank “It doesn’t fade crack rust or rot and it comes in six different colors to match your existing landscape ” Smith says “It lasts 40 years and is a well-made high-quality U S product It’s tough and safe enough for kids to climb on as well ” Depending on shipping the cost ranges from $1 000 to $1 300 The polymer helps insulate propane tanks in all climates It keeps the tank cool in hot temperatures and prevents gas from escaping through the relief valve In the winter it keeps the regulator from freezing The RockOn Propane Tank Cover is available in 11 states through distributors Smaller sizes are also available and some customers use the rock-shaped shells for doghouses to hide lawn mowers or garbage cans for hunting blinds or as landscaping Check out his website for size photos details and information about local dealers Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Don Smith RockOn Propane Tank Covers 19959 Villa Dr Sonora Calif 95370 ph 800 566-6040; don@rockonptc com; www propanetankcovers com
