GARTENDEK L-01 is a hollow artificial stone cover made from multi-layer fiberglass composite (GFK) with a natural marble chip gelcoat surface (ISO/NPG). With external dimensions of 93 × 91 × 37 cm and an interior coverage diameter of ø 80 cm, it is the entry-price model of the L-series and the model with the maximum coverage diameter in the entire L-series.
The L-01 provides the same ø 80 cm coverage as the M-03 — but in a taller body (+5 cm height: 37 vs 32 cm), at lighter weight (14 vs 15 kg) and at a lower price (€335.98 vs €378.24). This makes L-01 the correct choice whenever the concealment target fits within ø 80 cm but is taller than ~29 cm — the threshold where M-03's 32 cm profile becomes insufficient.
At 14 kg, the L-01 is the lightest model in the L-series (tied with L-03) and is recommended for two-person placement. The near-square footprint (93 × 91 cm, ratio 1.02:1) creates a naturally proportioned, massive boulder silhouette suited for large open gardens. The profile is asymmetric — edge height varies from ≈10 cm on one side to ≈18 cm on the other, with the peak at ≈37 cm in the centre zone — giving it the organic, irregular look of a natural field stone rather than a uniform dome.
What makes the L-01 unique:
- Maximum L-series coverage diameter — ø 80 cm exceeds L-02 (ø 75 cm), L-04 (ø 67 cm) and L-03 (ø 60 cm)
- Cross-series value — same ø 80 cm as M-03, but +5 cm height, −1 kg weight, −€42 price
- Entry-price L-series — €335.98 is the lowest price in the entire L-series
- Near-square asymmetric boulder — 93 × 91 cm (ratio 1.02:1), asymmetric profile (edges ≈10–18 cm, peak 37 cm); organic field-stone look
- Lightest in L-series — 14 kg (tied with L-03), manageable by two people
- GFK composite construction — multi-layer fiberglass with marble chip gelcoat (ISO/NPG); not paint/print; color is integral
- Frost-proof to −30 °C, UV-stable to +60 °C
- 100+ kg static load capacity
- 10+ years declared service life
- EU manufactured — Italy (production) / Slovenia (dispatch) — VSDN d.o.o.
The L-01 solves a very specific concealment problem: covering wide objects up to ø 80 cm that also require more than ~29 cm vertical clearance. In this zone, M-03 (ø 80 cm, 32 cm height) can become too low, while larger XL models are unnecessary.
Because L-01 offers the same ø 80 cm as M-03 but adds +5 cm height (37 cm total profile), at lower weight (14 kg) and lower price (€335.98), it is the preferred solution for tall-but-not-oversized targets: pool sand filters, septic lids with risers, inspection chambers, well assemblies, manifolds, and utility cabinets that fit within ø 80 cm.
Installation requires no tools, no foundation, and no site preparation. Place the L-01 over the target object on any surface — grass, soil, gravel, paving. The base is fully open; no internal partitions.
- Installation time: under 2 minutes
- Personnel: two people recommended (14 kg)
- Equipment access: lift the stone to service concealed equipment
- Wind stability: near-square base (93 × 91 cm) with 14 kg provides good stability; for exposed locations, use landscape anchoring stakes around the base
Ventilation: the base is fully open with non-sealed contact with the ground surface. When placed on grass, gravel, or uneven terrain, natural micro air exchange is possible between the interior cavity and the surrounding environment.
Safety and load limitations: the product supports 100+ kg of static load under normal conditions. It is not a load-bearing structure, is not designed for impact loads, and is not intended for jumping or active play without prior structural adaptation of the product. Use in children's and public zones is possible with a pre-agreed usage scenario, engineering adaptation of the structure, and coordination of safety requirements.
The L-01 is constructed from a multi-layer fiberglass composite (GFK) — the same material class used across the entire GARTENDEK range and in marine construction. The outer surface is natural marble chips and marble powder in an ISO/NPG class gelcoat. Color is integral to the material — formed by adding natural stone chips and stone dust directly into the gelcoat compound. Not paint, not print, not film.
At 1 metre viewing distance, the L-01 is indistinguishable from a natural granite boulder.
- Frost-proof to −30 °C
- UV-stable to +60 °C
- Fully waterproof — no moisture absorption, no swelling, no delamination
- Static load capacity: 100+ kg
- Declared service life: 10+ years permanent outdoor exposure
- Maintenance: rinse with water and a soft brush. No sealing, painting, or chemical treatment required.

The ø 80 cm coverage diameter and 37 cm height make the L-01 suitable for large residential and semi-commercial outdoor utilities:
- Wide septic tank lids with raised risers — standard EU lids 60–80 cm fit within ø 80 cm
- Large pool sand filter systems — full-size residential tanks ø 60–78 cm (Bestway Flowclear, Intex Krystal Clear, Steinbach Speed Clean)
- Pool pump + filter combined assemblies where total height exceeds M-03's 32 cm clearance
- Manhole covers and inspection chambers — standard EU chambers ø 60 cm with above-grade collar rings
- Well pump assemblies with surface casing and pipe clusters
- Transformer boxes (Trafohaus) or ground-level utility cabinets (ø up to 75 cm)
- Irrigation distribution manifolds with multiple valve outlets and pipe clusters
- Rainwater tank lids or underground cistern access points
- Clusters of pipes, fittings, or cable junction boxes exiting the ground
- Decorative large boulder accent — the 93 × 91 cm near-square silhouette works as a statement centrepiece
Ventilation: the base is fully open; natural micro air exchange is possible.

Choose L-01 over M-03 when:
- The object is ø ≤80 cm and taller than ~29 cm
- Budget matters — L-01 is €42 cheaper
- A more dominant boulder silhouette is preferred
Choose M-03 over L-01 when:
- Space is limited — M-03 footprint is smaller
- The object is under ~29 cm tall
