The testimonials are endless on the enjoyment our clients have received on their lake, pond, river and backyard rinks. Trust us folks, you are buying the best, from a proudly Canadian company who designed the original Outdoor Curling Stones and stand behind our wonderful products. Many others have now entered the market; we encourage you to check out the rest, but invest in the best!

An Affordable Alternative To Real Curling Stones

Our original rocks we produced from a high carbon steel shell in our traditional gunmetal grey; this has been changed so that we now offer three different shells in red, blue and yellow. Additionally, we have updated our rubber handles to provide more cushioning, in colors to match the new shells. Plus we have increased the thickness of the pans to provide an even stronger stone. The curling stones still provide you with the feel of a real curling stone but for a fraction of the price.

How We Make Our Curling Stones

The high carbon steel shell is Teflon-coated and will not rust. It is filled with high strength concrete, has a thick rubber bumper for better take-outs, is topped with a HDPE board and has a solid galvanized steel handle. They weigh about half the weight of a real 42lb curling stone, and can be thrown while simply crouching; or out of a curling hack (which we also sell) or with a push stick for us older folks.

They slide really easily on normal ice, do curl a bit, and the rubber cushioning allows for great take-outs without damaging the stones.

Replaceable Parts On Durable Stones

They can take a beating. Our stones have been used in many high-usage environments and there have been no issues with wear and tear reported, but even if there was wear to the pan, replacement shells can be purchased from us and swapped out for each stone. These stones should and will last a very long time if you follow the maintenance instructions.

All skill level of curlers have used our outdoor curling stones on the lake,  which tested their performance and durability, and they came thru with flying colors. Feedback from many customers has been very positive. The stones have added another level of fun and excitement to their families/community activities. Various organizations and charitable/service clubs have purchased the stones for events they hold and have provided great feedback.

A Less-Expensive Option With a Quality Build

New curling stones are outrageously expensive–used ones are rarely found and also are very expensive. I just saw a used set of 16 for sale for $3,000!! A new set of 16 curling stones are going to cost well over $12,000.00 if you add the tax. Other competitors sell theirs for well over $200.00 per rock and then you have to add taxes and shipping. There are some competitors that offer the shell of the stone only and require you to fill them with sand. Remember that sand does not offer a solid structure, and the shells will dent/wear out substantially quicker than a shell re-enforced with concrete.

Imagine yourself, your family and friends throwing rocks this winter on your lake, pond, river, backyard rink or community arena. It’s a great sport and these stones will help you enjoy curling.

Three Month Guarantee

We stand behind our stones and offer a solid three month guarantee from the date of purchase against normal wear and tear. We can spot damage caused by abuse, so please remember this. You will not get a warranty like this on any other high-impact sporting equipment.

Have You Tried Crokicurl?

Many of our customers have used the rocks to build a game called Crokicurl, which is a game combining curling and crokinole. For a video of the curling rocks in use, visit the Global News Toronto website to see the rocks in action.

Curling Hacks, Curling Brooms and Push Sticks

We also sell accessories like curling hacks, curling brooms and push sticks. The hacks are built of wood with a rubber push-off pad; and can be drilled into the ice and allow for a more realistic and authentic game of curling. Additionally, we also sell Olson curling push sticks for those that don’t want to crouch to throw the stones. We also sell curling brooms to help with the push off and sweeping. Plus, we have a curling broom/push stick combination where the stick has a broom on one end and the push stick adaptor on the other for two great functions in one.
