We are all for living your best life in a pool in your backyard, but if you can’t swing the hefty price or if you don’t have the space, a DIY stock tank pool is an amazing alternative. We’re not talking about plastic blow-up pools – stock tanks (yes, those huge metal containers that help hydrate horses and cows on farms) can easily be transformed into beautiful, chlorinated pools.
Those in the know have really gotten clever in the designs of their DIY stock tank pools, painting them in vibrant colors and even building decks around them. Need proof? Check out our favorites below we’ve rounded up on Instagram. Psst – they’ve all been featured on @StockTankPool. Speaking of, when you’re ready to get your own, Stock Tank Pool Authority offers various sizes. You may also be able to find one at your local Tractor Supply Co. Just be sure to call first as they are picking up in popularity!
