Hey Curling Fans! Thank you for considering our Outdoor Curling Stones and accessories, and want you to know that if/when you purchase our products, you are buying the best design, the best quality and at the best price. They are made to stand the test of time and our record shows it. Of the countless orders we have fulfilled, not one has been returned due to any quality issue. 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, but we encourage you to check out the rest, but invest in the best!
Our original rocks we produced from a high carbon steel shell in our traditional gun metal grey; 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 and 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 fractionof the price. 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 if you require) or thru 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. Trust me folks, they can take a beating.
The 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 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 and has 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.
As mentioned, new curling stones are outrageously expensive and 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 approximately $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. And they are selling at double the
price of our stones!
So get your creative juices flowing and 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.
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 https://globalnews.ca/video/6207630/crokicurl-lands-in-toronto to see the rocks in action.
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. That way you are getting two great functions in one!!
