Sorta like a rock wall
What I did was we had a fake rock pond skimmer box cover. So I decided to try to make one by build large rocks around the perimeter and I am trying to cover the plastic in rocks how should I go about glueing the rocks to the plastic but I am also looking for a natural stone color filler like grout. I also needs to be cheap as I don't want to spend much on this project. But also light weight because I do have to get in there for maintenance let me know if you have ideas

What about spray foam? then sculpt/remove excess away. Then sprinkle sand on top so it has a more natural look to it (grout)

I thought about foam. Didn't think about sand. I'm wondering if some 2 part epoxy would hold the rocks in place?

There is a foam for this purpose. It's also rock colored. Gateway carries it.

Here it is still gotta try to get the black stuff off the real rocks. My dumb#%# didn't use glove and one of the nozzles didn't work so I had to press into the plastic to make it work. Then foam flying all over. And my hands woah
