What happens when you don’t actually have the space or money to build the pool you wish? An easy compromise is to make your own swimming pool using a livestock tank. You can use a simple stock tank as an above ground pool, or for a more permanent fixture, bury it in the ground or surround it with some decking.
If you’re looking to create something more permanent, keep in mind that the galvanized tank will eventually rust. So consider getting it coated inside and out with a pickup bed coating for waterproofing. The transformation attempts featured in these images should give you some great ideas.
A galvanized stock tank is perfect for afternoons of cooling off in the water or for your kids to have a small swim-around. Check out what has been done and replicate the DIY project in your own back yard…
If you like this idea, be sure to share it with your friends and inspire someone you know. Anything becomes possible with just a little inspiration…
