Styrofoam Buoys for the DIY !!

  • Balls are made of white styrofoam and are ready to paint

  • Use latex based paint only !

  • Very lightweight !

  • Recommend using the medium or large spacer buoys
    (spacers are not included)

    (my wife and I argue over if the balls look better painted 3 colors or 2 colors)

  • Makes a great project for the kids !

  • Paint them yourself and give them as gifts !

  • Try using a mix of different size and shape balls

  • You can hang straight up and down or side to side.

  • Each order of 3 or more balls (any size combination) includes a 8 ft rope for stringing and hanging the balls

  • Recommend one less spacer than the number of balls used
Spacer Buoys

 

 

  • Spacer buoys

  • Use to keep the bigger buoys evenly spaced

  • Above image shows a can buoy, large spacer, medium spacer and small spacer buoy. Actual sizes may vary slighty due to availibility from suppliers

  • Recommed using the small or medium spacer buoys for the Can shaped buoys

  • Recommed using the medium or large spacer buoys for the Styrofoam ball or football buoys

    or

  • Get creative and invent a new way to use them !!

  • Made of high density polyurethane, very lightweight !

  • Hole in middle is 1/2"

  • Tan in color

  • Can be painted !

  • Don't forget to order rope to display the buoys !!

 

  • Actual sizes may vary slighty due to availibility from suppliers

Rope for displaying buoys

  • Once the paint dries you want to display your painted buoys so you will need some rope

  • You can order either a 4 ft or 8 ft length of rope

  • The 4 ft lenght works best if you plan to diplay your buoys straight up and down

  • The 8 ft length works best if you plan to display your buoys side to side

  • I use manilia and or sisal rope ( natural fiber rope ) depending on what I find at the hardware store

  • Each rope has the ends whipped to prevent the rope from unraveling and one end will have a small loop to make it easier to hang from a hook

    • If the rope is too long you can always tie a knot in to make it shorter

    Paintedbuoys.com is part of <a href="http://www.pondplants.biz"> Muddy Waters Aquatic Nursery.</a>

    <p>

    We are always looking for new items to offer that you just don't find at the other nurseries. We are located on the coast and lately the trend as been for folks to decorate their yards and houses with fishing net buoys. These buoys have been painted bright and or pastel color combinations and strung from anything you can think of inside and out.

    <p>

    We decided to be a bit different and offer the best of both words by giving you choices. We offer a selection of pre strung pre painted buoys ready to go, painted buoys where you can select the color combinations you want, and or you can order the unpainted buoys and paint them yourselves. We think the unpainted buoys could be a great project for the kids.

    <p>

    We are located at 167 E Fire Tower Rd in Otway NC (and yes there is a Fire Tower at the end of the road) located about 10 miles east of Beaufort NC along Hwy 70 which is on the North Carolina Crystal Coast. If you are headed east towards Harkers Island, turn Left onto Fire Tower Rd at the Outer Banks Gas Station. If you see a Dollar General Store on your left you have gone too far.
