Aquascape Heavy-Duty Rock Pad Sling – 3′ × 5′ (0.9 m × 1.5 m) – 10-Pack

Aquascape Heavy-Duty Rock Pad Sling – 3' × 5' (0.9 m × 1.5 m) – 10-Pack

The Heavy-Duty Rock Pad Sling makes moving and placing heavy rocks easier during water feature installations. Made of extra-thick, geotextile fabric, the pad protects your liner when moving rocks and can be left under boulders for long-term protection. Six integrated hand holes provide handling points. Aquascape also describes using lifting straps, but this is not a universal safe lifting limit or an instruction for a particular number of people to lift a heavy boulder. Plan the move around the load, ground conditions, lifting equipment and the people involved.

You can also use the sling to transport smaller cobbles for building rock walls, waterfalls, or any part of the water feature. Follow the product instructions and use suitable, separately selected lifting equipment where needed. See HSE guidance on assessing manual handling; a product’s handling claim is not a substitute for assessing the actual lift.

Preparing the surface beneath the liner

Remove sharp debris and compact unstable ground before laying the underlay. Overlap adjacent pieces and protect the liner anywhere it will be pressed against masonry, roots or angular stone. Underlay reduces puncture risk but does not replace sound ground preparation.
