Realistic ‘fake’ boulders will get your address plaque noticed

This may be the coolest idea I’ve ever heard of for an address plaque for your home -- a realistic-looking "fake" boulder to decorate the curb where you live.

These realistic looking boulders with attached, custom bronze address plaques or welcome plaques come in a variety of shapes, colors, and sizes, and are the perfect answer if you want a big rock without the big weight. They are made from construction-grade cast stone -- not fiberglass or polyurethane. As a result, though they are "fake" rocks, they have the look and feel of the real things.

According to the manufacturer, Artificial Rocks Factory, real boulders similar to theirs would weigh 800-1,000 pounds each. Their rocks, with welcome sign or address plaque attached, weigh in around 50-60 pounds, heavy enough to withstand the weather but light enough to place them and maneuver them into position. They certainly would highlight your home’s outdoor decor, as well as catch the attention of emergency responders, delivery drivers, first-time visitors, and out-of-town relatives trying to track you down.

The Artificial Rocks Factory folks point out that using a nice bronze address plaque or welcome plaque on a boulder has long been popular with property owners who could afford it, or those who were blessed with natural boulders on their property with a way to maneuver one into the right location. Now the Artificial Rocks Factory has made it not only easier but practical for just about every homeowner. Their selection of realistic boulders include 20 different models, which are all hollow, approximately one-inch thick, and open at the bottom.

Four of the models with the best front angles are available for address plaques and welcome plaques. Customers can pick any of these four models with a custom rustproof cast aluminum ivy oval address plaque or address sign for up to five 3″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) or up to seven 2″ characters (numbers or capitalized letters) in gold on a black background.

Each fake rock come with “anti-theft metal eyebolt” which is embedded in it. Their website offers no real explanation about this except to say that “easy-to-follow instructions” for how this anti-theft feature works are shipped with each boulder.

Check out their website and see these remarkable address plaque and welcome plaque “fake” boulders for yourself. They offer three-dimensional, rotating pictures of representative boulders and plaques so you can get a good idea of just what you’ll be getting if you choose to order one. They also have a catalog you can download in PDF format.

Their prices seem reasonable to me, they deliver promptly, and according to the website you can order your address boulders in time to arrive by Christmas if go to their website and place your order no later than November 29.
