DekoRRa Model 111 Fake Rock Cover For Septics

Chances are if you’re looking to buy a Dekorra Model 111 Rock Enclosure you probably have a septic tank riser on your mind, and your sick and tired of having it there! It’s ugly, right?  Maybe green plastic or concrete?  And I bet it’s right out in the yard in a spot where it’s really, really annoying, yes?

This decorative septic cover rock was designed specifically to smother septic caps and render them all but invisible.  It features a wide, low to the ground profile with plenty of interior room for larger diameter sewer tanks.  Plus on one side there’s a small extension to suit a junction box should the tank being covered be equipped with one.  Not all versions have a junction box.  Usually newer septics have them, the green lid types.  Concrete lids tend not to be fitted with these external electrical boxes.

So what’s the nitty gritty on how to buy a DekoRRa Model 111 Mock Rock Cover?  Here’s 3 quick tips:

Don’t shoot from the hip!  We’re not talking OK Corral here.  We’re talking measurements.  If you guess or estimate or guesstimate the height and diameter of the tank in question there’s a good chance you’ll whiff.  If you whiff and the rock ends up being too small, it won’t fit.  Then you’ll have to return it, and we all know how much fun dealing with product returns is.  So be smart and save yourself some misery: Measure the height and diameter of the tank carefully! (see video below for more info or go to RocksFast.com for fast sizing help)

Chart You’re next move!  The interior dimension charts are your friend.  Use them to determine how much interior space the 111 can handle at any given height!  Ignore the exterior dimensions of the stone.  Those are useless in determining how large of an object can be covered. (see video below for more info)

To vent or not to vent?  If the septic tank in your crosshairs is vented, it’s like that for a reason.  You want to be sure any type of decorative cover placed over it is also vented. Luckily some vendors sell these with vents pre-installed.   (see video below for more info)

As decorative septic covers go, the 111 is a tough one to beat.  The texturing on the exterior walls is fantastic.  Looking at it from afar or up close you’ll be amazed that it’s a molded polymer shell and not a real slab of granite or sandstone.  Which brings us to another thing: Color selections.  You have 4 to choose from: Fieldstone (FS-111), Riverbed (RB-111), Sandstone (SS-111), and Autumn Bluff (AB-111).  These colorants are not sprayed or painted on, instead they are incorporated into the molds themselves.  This results in an ultra durable finish that will not chip or flake.  These things laugh at string trimmers, and they are so loaded with U.V. inhibitors the sun doesn’t fade or delaminate them no matter how hard it trys.

So if you’re looking to hide your septic quickly and easily, this could be your ticket.  Especially if the application requires space for a junction box which is a small square electrical box mounted on one side.  If the application does not have one of these junction boxes, then you might also consider the Model 112 at Rocksfast.com.
