Determine How Much Insulation You Need


Before choosing an outdoor pipe cover, research the type of pipes or utility equipment you need to protect.

Measure the Area You Want to Cover


Simply use a tape measure to determine the length, width, and height of the pipes or equipment you want to conceal. For circular objects, measuring the diameter can also help you identify the right enclosure size. Accurate measurements help ensure your DekoRRa faux rock cover fits properly while leaving enough room for the equipment inside.
