Stock Tank Pool DIY

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- In this video I’ll show you how I turned this livestock tank into a pool. This is a fairly simple project that can be completed by one person half a day. I was able to source everything except the pump and plunger valves in local stores and I encourage you to ALWAYS support local businesses before shopping online or at big box stores when ever possible. If you are unable to find any of the items locally I have linked an online source for same or similar below.
SAFETY WARNING:
Pool pumps can create dangerous suction hazards. To avoid the danger I set the pump timer to only run at night when nobody is in the pool. It’s important to always follow manufacturers instructions for pool pump safety.

Stock Tank FAQs
Q. Did you paint the inside of your stock tank?
A. Yes! after two years of using the stock tank pool it still had no signs of rust, but after extensively researching the experience of others it seems inevitable that the tanks will all eventually begin to rust, so I wanted to get ahead of that issue before it begins. I use a product called Pond Shield which is linked on the materials list link. I used the product exactly as it was recommended by the manufacturer and it was quite a project, but the result was a very attractiveand durable finish that was nothing short of perfection… for the first year. Then it began to peel, almost completely in every section. I removed it all, primed the tank, and installed a pond liner which is wirki g perfectlya d seems to be the best solution (linked above)
The pond liner was easy to install, looks good and is working perfectly so far.
Do NOT paint the inside of your tank! Wait to see if it rusts, then prome it and use a liner if necessary.
Q.Where can I find a tank?
A. We were on a waitlist for months and kept being told we would get one any day but it never came. Then my wife happened to be at Tractor Supply as one was being delivered so she bought it because she was at the right place at the right time. Just luck. Everyone is out because they are in extremely high demand and shipping/manufacturing is delayed. Keep trying. I wish you luck!
Q. Does the metal or metal rim get hot?
A. Not really. As long as the pool is full the cold water keeps the metal cool through conducive cooling.
Q. My vacuum hose is not working, how can I make it work?
A. This component can be tricky. I set mine up as shown in the video and it does function as shown, but the vacuum effect is not extremely strong, so small things can reduce or eliminate that vacuum affect. There are a few ways to increase the vacuums strength:
1. Shorten the vacuum hose length. The longer the hose, the less vacuum you'll get.
2. Increase the size of the 1/4 turn valve to the vacuum. different valves have different internal diameters. If yours has a 1/4" opening it should be swapped for one with a 1/2" - 3/4" opening for optimal suction.
3. Partially covering the pump strainer when vacuuming. Reducing the intake flow at the strainer will increase suction at the hose. Be sure to only do this for short amounts of time (less than a minute is what I do) and never completely cover the intake strainer. If the flow is too restricted it will cause an affect called pump cavitation which results when there is more water being pumped out than in. Cavitation will cause an audible change in the pump when it's happening and can damage a pump if it happens too often or for too long.

Did this for my kids birthday hen we loved on a farm. I added pool noodles to the outside rim so they didn’t bash their heads in on the edge. Metal tanks keep the water super cold!!
That’s awesome! Yes, I think with kids that edge protection is a great idea 👍🏼
Does the metal gets hot? Do you have to keep it under the shade?
@@KimmieNoel as long as it’s full of water the metal dies not get hot
@@urbanfarmstead okay thanks
@@KimmieNoel it’s relatively thin metal, makes a great conductor for heat/cold. Keeps it cool but also makes it a bit harder to keep heated if you run it like a hot tub.
Brings back great early 80's memories growing up on the farm. Our tank had a rusty bottom but running in circles makin whirlpools was epic fun.
Yes 🙌🏼
My grandpa had one 2x as big as the ones we have now days. He even had a filter system too. Wasn't deep but was big enough to make a whirlpool LOL Love it!!!
Saw the thumbnail and thought “what is mark cuban doing in a stock tank pool?!?” Lol
Jaime Jimenez 😂
Same
Ditto
Did you even read the title?
Cuban wasn't lying in a stock tank....it was a shark tank.
That 1-2x4 blew the budget for this project.
I know right! 😂 thank goodness I did this while lumber prices were reasonable
@@urbanfarmstead yes thank goodness 😂
You did an incredible job though. Keep it up.
💀💀💀💀
Pretty much everyone had these in the 80s best part is running circles in it making whirlpool
Yes, these have been popular for a long time and I can see why.
Yes I guess because of metal my friend would have to drain hose every couple of days because it would get so hot the water would be hot horrible
In Texas, that's a hillbilly hot tub.... lol😊 Looks great!
J fig nice! I am actually exploring options to transform it into a hot tub during winter we’ll see.
Now, if you had a small one in the back of your truck......now THAT would be a hillbilly pool or hot tub.lolol😂👏
Cookie Splitter yes! 👍🏼
I was going to ask about adding a heater for the winter. Let us know if you find a solution!
Alison Holmstrom people definitely do that, and I might, but I’ve got more research to do
Very creative!!
Love a man that's good with his hands!
Thank you
Love it!! My mom got us a stock tank pool when I was little. We loved it. I remember having my big brothers and sisters swimming around and round creating a whirlpool for me to float in. Fun fun! Watch out for that middle lip...it can cut your toes!!
Trinity Hunt thank you! We love ours! The seam in the center of ours has some sort of sealant over it so there is no lip. Thank you for that heads up though.
My husband grew up in the 60's playing in one of these. We just got one for our granddaughter. It has a drain plug so we just drain and refill when it gets dirty.
That’s awesome!
Had one growing up and my kids had one until we bought a house that had a pool
@@denisekoenig9479 awesome!
He made his way too difficult This is nothing new
This video is Creative, Inspiring and so well done. Thank you for being so descriptive
PLANTBuilt Mami thank you! I really appreciate your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed my video!
Great video. I really enjoyed your process and you’ve really inspired me to do that in my back yard. Can’t wait to show the wife and get her on board.
Thank you
this is such a brilliant hack. I want to try this to build a hot tub for this winter!
You should!
I have no intention on building this I just watched it to see you with your shirt off lol. Your wife is lucky
This was super informative thank you! Also, the new knowledge of Teflon tape is going to fix a leaky faucet I have, so thank you!
Thanks! That’s great!
i didnt know how " trendy" this was. seems like a great idea honestly
Yeah, it got pretty trendy during Covid, but I think people have been doing it for a long time, and I agree - it’s a great idea
You probably meant to say covering the inlet strainer would increase suction to the vacuum hose. This was a pretty good video. It’d probably work the same on larger stock tanks.
Yes, thank you!
LOL recent popularity dude that’s the OG Mexican pool that’s how I did all my swimming as a kid
Yeah, definitely old school, but during the pandemic they became more popular than ever
I’ll probly buy the tank, fill it up to use it and empty it between uses. My lawn will look great.
Yeah, that’s definitely an option
In my country we do not have this thing. It is so great for a swimming pool really.
Fun project. Looks good unpainted btw.
Thank you! I think so too
Great tip on the shower drain
Thanks so much for this brilliant tutorial and home upgrade idea!
Happy to share! Thank!
I built a hot tub out a hundred gallon, put it on a brick built fire pit, works great, gotta watch the temp though.
That sounds awesome
That’s a really great idea. This could have many uses.
Thank you! Yes, it sure could!
🙋🏻♀️ Hi neighbor! I need to hire you to install one in my yard! I love it! Been seeing theses online. Would be great for those hot Sac days!
asiandrmr Hi 👋🏼 I’m a bit booked up on projects at the moment but if you really do want to hire me for one I’ll consider it. Just send me a quick email. My email link is in my Instagram profile, which is linked in the description below in case you’re not already following
@@urbanfarmstead I will definitely send you an email. I have a few other questions... I wasn't sure if you saw the comment or read it. I though maybe you didn't see it because I didn't see a notification for a reply. Then I got a email about the reply and I realized I commented on TH-cam and not IG! Haha I'm such a dork! 🤦🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I couldn’t find a pool at the beginning of the summer for my kid. I did this exact thing except used to Demetrious earth filter. It’s a little larger pool than this one but it works great. It was a plastic one with a three-year guarantee. But I think the guarantee shot once you drill in it. Lol
New subscriber .. we’re putting in a stock tank soon and your video is really helpful.
Diana thank you and thank you! I highly recommend it
Wow you are a true craftsman 👍👍👍👍👍
reenatai75 well thank you!
I love your video for setting up a stock tank pool. We just bought one and plan on painting the inside. What steps do you recommend taking and what type of paint do I need to paint the inside of the stock tank? Thank you for your help.
Jim
Everyone had these in the 1960s in the City of St. Louis.
That’s awesome!
Been there, done that on a much smaller scale in a much dirtier tank.
Cool
I think you’re a genius
Lol, thanks
That green PVC glue is really dope looking... Anyone? ...... tough crowd.
Haha, yeah
Ohhhh! You can be grounded in this also like in a stream or lake or ocean!
What?
Earthing/grounding with your feet on the ground, or something conductive on the ground or bodies of water. Lots of research on how it's good for your health. Look it up on here, there's a good documentary on it.
The whole filter thing is over kill. Use one of those cheap ones for the soft side pools. It goes over the edge and doesn't need hole drilled.
Thank you for sharing your opinion
I wanna turn it into a pond, idky... Cool project.
Thank you
What's the best way to cover the pool to keep leaves, tree limbs, etc. out of it when it's not in use?
I use a cover that I linked on the amazon link in the description
Cool pool!!!
Thank you
Question for you - we finally got ours set up, thank you so much for guiding us! We followed your video step by step. Our vacuum, however, isn’t working. Pump is on, valve is on, hose is on, but no suction, unless we put a hand over the inlet valve. But then we get air in the lines. Any ideas?
Sorry if I missed this somewhere- but what is the elbow piece you use going from the pool outlet to the vacuum T piece? Where do you buy your plumbing pieces? Home Depot is lacking that 2” x 3/4” T piece, as well as some others that I’m looking for!
It’s just a 2” elbow from Home Depot.
Nice.
Thank you
Urban Farmstead Not everyone lives in the same climate as you and if you slip while getting in, it would protect the family jewels a little bit better too. LOL
Mary Potter yeah, I get that, and people can do whatever they want with their stock tank pool, I’m simply sharing what I did for ours, and what’s working for me here. It got up to 114F here last month, and I know there are a few places that get hotter, but not by much. If I was worried that much that I might slip getting in and rack my 🥜 on the edge is a 2’ tall pool I would have some serious concerns about my physical aptitude. But again, that’s just me.
What is they grey looking tape you used to seal all the seams in the tank?
That’s nothing I did. The brand of tank I buy comes that way
Hey there! Fantastic video. We’re looking at setting up our stock tank pool in a similar way and will be using your video as a guide. I’m definitely interested in using a sand filter, question for you - any specific reason you recommend the Intex 12” over the 10”? I found a deal for a 10” but want to make sure it would also work. Thank you!
As long as the 10 meets the gallonage needs it should be just fine. Thank you!
Can I get a material list? Have the pump and Stock tank.
U r very creative! 👍
lily li thank you! I can’t take credit for the overall idea, but I certainly used a few original ideas with my design.
Can you show how to add a heater to it?
I’m not planning that project but some have videos on it
Is it possible to polish the outside of that tank ?
Probably
Best work...
Planting for Living thank you
Great video. I just did this same project with the “optional vacuum” just like yours but I cannot for the life of me get any suction out of the garden hose like you did in your video. Do you have any suggestions on what could be the issue?
That’s definitely the part that could have the most valuables. I’m not sure what could be causing it to not work, but the alternative would be to just use a hose as a syphon
I'm having same problem. Did you ever figure it out
@@scottoneal2744 No, I just abandoned the vacuum idea.
can the outlet be at the bottom in the center for complete drain of the pool if required? how much does the tank cost?
C Xyooj the outlet could be placed there if you choose. There is also a drain plug at the bottom that comes preplaced. Mine was $450 I think.
I built mine using all of the same parts but I can’t get my wand to suck up dirt...? How long is the hose you are using? Maybe that’s my problem? Thanks
I cut mine to about 9’. That might help.
@@urbanfarmstead thanks. I’ll give it a try.
So it there any problems with the water chemicals balence?. I'm thinking🤔 maybe hard water or the metals in water due to the material of your pool
I use test strips to test the PH and chemical balance of the water. Is that what you’re referring to?
@@urbanfarmstead Yes. I've learned recently that depending on the material that pools are made out of like Pebble Tec tend to be high on PH. That's why I'm wondering about your chemicals balence due to the material of your pool..
@@rocketplex8818 yeah, it’s always good to test. Also I ad very very little chlorine
No cover ?
I do have a cover for it. It’s linked in the description
By next year this time have vegetables growing here but by next spring have it painted, what am I missing here😂
You’re missing that I moved it to a different section of my yard. There is now a garden there and the pool is now painted and doing great
I made the vacuum line and I'm using the same pump as in the video. I've found that, if you don't cover the outlet valve, the hose doesn't make any suction, and if you cover it, the pump is unable to pull enough water through the hose to keep the pump primed. Perhaps I did something wrong? Now I'm in the middle of experimenting with adding a bigger vacuum line so the pump can draw more water.
Thank you for sharing this feedback! I’ve actually had a few people share similar feedback unfortunately. It’s working for some and not working for others. I don’t know the specific reason it’s not working for some, but your idea of increasing the diameter of the suction hose plumbing is exactly what I would suggest and it should do the trick.
Thats all you need in life. No fear of doing something
stuart blackwood exactly! 🙌🏼
We use to swim in a water storage tank on my uncle’s ranch that was fed by a windmill. The tank supplied water to a stock tank that was about twice as big as your tank. The cows and horses would sometimes peak over the top of the storage tank when they would hear us swimming. We use to think it was great fun except the hard water would make our hair look pretty funny. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing
Me too
me and my brother just hung out in the stock tank, holding tank
was to high up. The horses didn´t seem to mind, but the old man
would get pissed from time to time, cause of the water and mud
around the tank from us splashing to much.
That's brilliant. Although in Australia you would have to build a pool fence, get it certified, notify the Council and comply with 30000 other regulations!
What if you just said it’s not a fool, it’s a fish tank🤷🏻♂️
😲
@@urbanfarmstead I like the way you think!
Better have it grounded?
Really? That's crappy. I'm lucky to live on a farm in AB Canada, so we've built some crazy things including a couple different pools. Best of luck to you. The world is crazy right now without a doubt!
For cleaning…if you get in pool and run around the edge in a circle you’ll create a whirlpool. Once it settles all the dirt will settle in one small spot in bottom middle of the pool. :)
I did the same with a blue plastic stock tank. I added a above ground pool filter that I would run occasionally. It also fit in a screen tent to provide sun, bug protection and keep leaves and debris out.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing
Where did you buy your poly stock tank and how big is it?
@@mailemoore5017 Plastic stock tanks are about $1.15 per gallon. You can find sources by googling "plastic stock tank". I googled "600 gallon plastic stock tank". Plasticmart is one place.
An above ground pool made of plastic sounds good.
Not sure why YT recommended this, glad they did! It was interesting to watch. Learned a lot!
Well thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback
yea it is so confuccling
I made one just the same a couple of years ago. After a little over a year, began seeing rust start to develop. Almost a month later, the entire tank was covered in rust but only on the inside and below the waterline. Never added any chemicals aside from a small chlorine tablet float.
Attempted draining, sanding and re-coating with pond paint but the rust would keep coming through. Just something to be aware of i guess.
Aw that sucks
How can you stop that from the beginning?
@@puppylove80110 pool paint right at the beginning before ever filling it up maybe. The galvanizing process on these stock tanks isn't the greatest im sure. Once some chlorinated water hits that bare steel, pretty much useless until your sandblast/grind everything down and re coat with rust prevention then a waterproof layer like pool paint or a flex seal like product.
Ry jay I’m painting the inside next spring with flex seal. It can be done the first year but many people have recommended waiting until year two based on their experience. This has no rust yet after 3 months and will be empty in winter.
@@urbanfarmstead , Foxie's getting a new pool next summer and it's not going to be a blow up pool, never thought about doing this. Pawfect Burfday pwesent June 8. She will be 9 years old!
Just a heads-up: too much chlorine will eat away the zinc galvanization and rust will start to show up. Once it does, it’ll spread quickly. We’re preparing to apply a coat of epoxy this week so we can get back in the pool we love and enjoy so much. ✌🏼
Thank you! I know, but still appreciate the info. So far no rust and I do use very little chlorine. That said I have the epoxy paint and will be painting it soon. I’m using the pond liner epoxy. It’s linked in the description. Which are you using?
just fill it up and play in it that's what we did in the 60s. this is not new to make a pool from. it's not as complicated as it seems-fill, play, drain, refill, play, etc.
Yo that's awesome
How about using bromine instead of chlorine?
@@suzukibn1131 bromine is only for hot water like hot tubs, but thank you, I did look into it
We had a stock tank pool when I was a kid. At the end of summer we would drain it and turn it over, dig a tunnel into it and use it for a fort. Farm equipment makes such good toys (don't get me started on beet diggers).
That sound like a great fort!
Bears… beets.. battlestar galactica
We used stock tanks on the farm as pools also!
Since I live in Florida farm country, I planned on a stock tank pool for this year. My son worked in St Thomas Virgin Island and recommended using elastomeric roof coating for painting the tank. He said that is what they use in the islands to coat their cisterns. Depends on brand you use ,you can get 10 to life time warranty. A gallon at Home Depot or Lowe’s costs around $30+.
Don't forget to add a small piece of carpet secured over the edge in case your cat or wild animals fall in so they can get out without drowning.
Learned that when unfortunately my neighbors beloved cat drowned in their above ground pool.
Great video. Might make one next year.
SpectrumMan ok
thoughtful touch
So...if I built one of these, sans the carpet, maybe I could drown the neighbors cat that keeps using my garden for its litter box and spraying my terra cotta container pots.... A live trap sounds easier.
@@uptoolate2793 Yes I'm doing the same. There's like 6 cats that do the same in my backyard. Omw to doing this right now.
@lilacs8282 carma is coming for you after wishing bad things on others.
My friend had one of these on their deck in the mid to late '80s. We swam in it quite often. I thought it was a pool - had no idea it was a livestock tank. His dad was a contractor.
That’s awesome!
I grew up on a farm, we actually have use a 55 gallon barrel. My grandmother would supervise us kids taking turns in the barrel. It sucked. But it worked
Haha, that’s interesting, but functional. Thank you for sharing
“Pump needs to set on a sturdy, level surface”... While wiggling an old, cut in half pallet on dirt. Lol ! Hey, if it works!
Yep 👍🏼 this will do just fine for now, especially in this temporary location.
57 years ago we visited my sister and her family on their Idaho farm.
They had a stock tank under a tree in their front yard for their family to cool down.
It was a welcome relief from the heat
JoAn Alger 57 years ago my Mom would fill up a #3 washtub for me to play in. When my cousin came over she would squeeze in and we would have a blast just splashing cold water on ourselves. I grew up in rural south Arkansas and summers are very hot and muggy. A stock tank would’ve been a luxury pool for us!
@Who Cares wrong. That's your existence
@Who Cares these people are just sharing their experience, you're just being rude for no reason at al.
Who Cares we get it you don’t get enough attention from your parents
Before I saw the cloth protecting the gate of your truck, I was sweatin thinking of the scratches! Big relief haha
Quinn Kirby haha! Yeah, it’s a work truck but I’m not ready to scratch it up yet!
Nice truck ❤️ Cool pool 🏊♀️ Bummer we don’t have those kinds of stock tanks in New Zealand I’d be so keen to try this 😉👍
Nayz Anduze that you, thank you! Oh that is a bummer!
This would be great as an in-ground Koi pond, too!
Yes!
When I was a kid (30+ years ago - yikes!) we had a stock tank pool too - which my father later turned into a koi pond. 😂
Isn’t the galvanized metal toxic to koi and other fish?
Yep...
Zinc lead tin nickle....
Bury it, & it will rust,
even if you paint it !
You'd need a rubber or vinyl liner...leave it above ground and stand plants n shrubs all around it...
Trellis way over it...
That’s the BEST video EVER!!! Sent it to my sister who has a nice space for something like this’d THANKS 🙏 😊
Sherrelyn N thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed it! I think anyone who live in a hot place and has the space should absolutely create one!
Tractor supply has the hard plastic ones.. it doesn't get as hot as a metal my friend had one and the water would be so hot after a couple of days but I guess it depends on where you live and how hot it gets the hard plastic one the water didn't seem to get quite as hot I don't know plastic didn't burn you like the metal when it gets hot
I like the 8ft ones so i can fully extend& if u have a hose in hose out so there is a flow you can slowly turn& unwind. Perfect man u r my new utb FAVORITE!
Yes, they work great! Thank you so much!
Hell, everybody in Missourri does this! Infact my friend has one made out of that hard plastic you can buy now at tractor supply.
Awesome!
I run almost 700 feet of black 1 inch poly hose in my back yard on a fence. Any amount of sun and my pool is hot. May thru August it can get to be 104 degrees by the evening. Peeling the cover back at 10pm can reveal 100 degree water at night. The ticket is the 1 inch outdoor blue Styrofoam underneath. This guys pool will be cool in the evening no matter how hot it gets during the day. Love his setup...just insulate it from the ground which is always cold underneath. You go from tin foil, to a thermos.
Thank you for sharing your experience
God damn, your poor pump must be tired 😂
@@hubbabubba5177 grundfos circulation pump. You want a very slow circulation. 4 years so far.
We had one of the giant blue trofts as a kid at my grandmas house for a pool. It was about 4 ft deep and 15 ft across. We loved it. B be
That’s awesome!
Those make better pools, chemical degradation slower.
THATS COOL...💦
Great For Small Spaces...and its Great just for👏 Staying COOL💦
Yes! Thank you!
Yeah, I get a home, I'm getting a 20 foot half height container and making that ma pool.
Gene Ard nice!
LOL, 👍
I've seen that done and I thought it was an awesome idea!!
Suzy Anne yes! 🙌🏼
I love it!! Thanks so much! I'd bought an 8 ft. stock tank for my grandkids to play in several years ago out here on our farm, but I never thought of doing all this, so we had to deal with a fair amount of yuck. What a great idea! You give terrific instructions! I think I'll get on it.....the grandkids are grown, but gramps and I are enjoying our second childhood, so it'll work fine, lol! 🙂 🤣😊
P.S. Gramps wants to know where he can get a hot babe to go with the pool?? 🤣🤣😡
Thanks. And thanks for the jokes haha
@@urbanfarmstead You're welcome 😊 Least I could do.
We went out to look at the stock tank, and discovered I was wrong....(now there's a first 🤣🤣).....it's a 12 footer, not 8!! I guess size really does matter, lol!
Gramps says that's ok.....more room for girls, haha!! 🤔🤔🤨
@@julierichens4218 😂
Tell gramps I'm on my way! 🤣🤣 mine is only a 6 footer, so a 12 footer sounds perfect! 😂
Today I made this Livestock Tank into a Pool. And today, I going to show you exactly how I did it..... I Partially Filled it with Water... And that is how you do it.... Video Ends....
What a clever idea really. I’ve thought about something like this but I have a rather small backyard. I wouldn’t mind having something smaller in diameter but slightly deeper so it’s more like a “plunge pool” that seems to be all the rage now.
Thanks! Yeah we love it.
Salt and chlorine will rust this galvanized tank FYI.
Eventually. But this one is still rust free and will be sealed to prevent that in spring
@Russian Bot walmart has bigger for half that price
Chlorine can have a corrosive effect on aluminum components, but homeowners and swimming pool maintainers are sometimes not aware of this corrosion since the corrosion itself takes on a white or gray color that is easily overlooked. it's not sun screen making the water milky. cheers!

The Upside of Downsizing thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
💚💚💚I LOVE THIS CHANNEL! WHO ELSE LOVE THIS CHANNEL? 💚💚💚
Thank you
did she come with the pool? j/k.
curious as to what the water temp is like in the summer. also, really like the venturi valve idea for the vac.
Haha! I don’t have a specific temp to share but here in Sacramento we have hot summers and it was perfect 95% of the time. It only gets too warm during heatwaves
How has it held up over the last year? Did you paint it? If so, what did you use & how did it age?
It’s been so great! I use it all summer long. So actually my paint just arrived I. The mail today. After much research I decided to use Pond shield which I linked on my Amazon page in the video description. Still no rust or any issues whatsoever
They say if you put in any type of pool....the mermaids will show up....( ps...how did you really get that tank home on the Ram....without it blowing off and or get crumpled?)
Jim Mason great! Just strapped it down on top of the bed, just as I showed here. I mean, I didn’t show me removing the tiedown straps but obviously is needs to be strapped down. I’ve also moved transported them in the bed of my truck with them on their side in more of a vertical orientation but I definitely prefer the way I show in this video.
My family done spent thousands on our pool but, I've gotta praise you. This is genius. Detailed instructions as well... My only con thought would be that the metal gets to hot in direct sunlight.
Thank you! Yeah that’s a common question, but as long as the pool is full of water the metal does not get hot.
We did that one summer for the grandkids! They had fun all summer long. The next year we went and got 150 tires that an old company let us just have to get rid of them. We stacked then into a huge oval, 6 tires high around, got a black pond liner, strapped it down with plenty of straps, filled it with water, and WA-LA.... a red-neck swimming hole! I even made a filter with a five-gallon pail and a small water pump! I turned the old stock tank into a salad garden. I only grow salad fixings' in it.
MyOwnDrum sounds cool. Thanks for sharing
Aww that sounds really fun
I have a few stock tanks that I actually use for fish, a black plastic or resin. I haven't ever seen a nice galvanized one like yours! I love the idea.
Thanks!
There is a white 2 inch wide looking line at the bottom of your pool. Was that put there by you to minimize any leaking? If so, what is it? And how do you install it? Did you prep your tank in any other way to minimize leaking?
That’s how the tank came, and yes it’s to seal it water tight. I showed every think I did in this video
I like the idea, but I wouldn’t put it that close to the house.
Tommy Boy it’s about 75 feet away from my house. This is my detached garage. Also this is a temporary location as explained in the beginning of the video, but I do appreciate the input ✌🏼
Depends on your irrigation needs, but instead of using chlorine and a filter, you can just pump the water from the pool into your veggies and then refill the pool with fresh water.
Yes, you certainly could
This is true but it'll be much colder
This pool looks so cool. But doesn't the water get really hot and the sides of it burn you? I was just asking because I would like one . thanks for the video
In the 50s and 60s these were commonly used as pools. We didn't use pumps, we didn't burn, we played in them, drained, then refilled. It was done all the time. Later people had to spend money on fancy expensive stuff and forgot about these things. This is nothing new.
@@edplunk600 well that's the way to go. I think you're right you'd have to dump and refill it. Looks fun to me. Have a great evening and take care
