This is the first time I've actually seen a NICE well done stock tank pool! Loved the liner and the bamboo!!! Really nicely done and beautiful built into the slope of your yard!!!

Does yours have a liner ? Do you use chlorine?

[@Eastbaypisces]

You have video of it? Like to c for ideas

[@donzon353]

@@luckypenny312 I used the blue polyvinyl stock tank. And yes I chlorinate it. I wasn't sure if the chlorine would react with the galvanize on the steel tank and could not find a paint that would adhere to galvanize and survive in water.

[@davidandrews1977]

Pro tip, weight the edges of the pool attach a shop vac to one point tape that point off really well and suck the wrinkles out. That's how we install liners on big pools. What you did here was a great job and this isn't criticism of that but rather a suggestion for anyone who wants to do this themselves.

[@juliakonya7266]

Thanks so much! Maybe I should add that to my blog post! That's so good to know.

Well done, turned out nice. I like the added pool liner vs others I’ve seen.

[@jenniferkennon8100]

With the pool liner did or have you run into any problems with the liner ?

[@jenniferkennon8100]

Also I know the one in the video was laid over the side but has anyone else used anything else along the Edge to clamp down the liner and then cut the liner on the outside instead of leaving long like in this video? I hope that makes sense. If so please let me know we are looking for something like that.

[@mollyjones4165]

I used to go to a home daycare and the lady who ran it had a stock tank pool out back for us to swim in. She didn't have liners or paint on the inside. It didn't have a filter or a pump. It was a lot of fun. I used to wonder why no one else had one. I thought it was just a pool but I never saw other pools that looked like it. Now I realize it was a metal stock tank.

[@juliakonya7266]

Oh I love that! Sounds like great memories and yes I'm sure that people had these for years and years before they became a thing on the internet ;)

[@juliakonya7266]

Thank you

[@ValorWarrior5258]

Beautiful job! . I think the reason the flex seal didnt stick may be because it is made for metal roofing to seal seams, and screw holes. The fact that you were using it to cover a solid sheet of metal with maybe one seam up the side possibly is what caused the flaking. I think that using the pool liner was absolutley fabulous! Love that you used the Bamboo to hide the liner on the exterior. Makes it have the natural appearance to it! Great Job! ❤️

[@mpiish]

Very CREATIVE to use the stock tank...well done...But you should change the name of it to "Dipping Pool" or "Blue-Cup-of-Tea-DIPPING Pool" or something! LoL! you will not do much "swimming" in this tank about 2 feet deep! But it is BEAUTIFUL with all the modifications you've done to it.

[@laylayshaffer4092]

Beautiful design. I now want to make 1. The reason the flextape didn't work is because it (stock tank, that is) resists paint & rust. We just got flex tape for our kids pool. So far, great even being a lil wet (when applied).

The reason why the paint didn't stick is because galvanized steel has an oil proof coating. You aren't supposed to paint it. Anyway, your pool is by far the nicest one I've seen on Pinterest! The stones really make it! What is the size?

[@ronthomas5965]

I also have a small yard. And Love what you did. Going to try and do one this fall. For next summer.

Again a awesome and Beautiful job. Enjoy your piece of paradise.

Hi there, that was the link I bought it from but the round 8' foot liner has been sold out for a while. Check out my blog post I recently found some websites that say they have some but I'm not sure if they still do. It's crazy that they are so hard to find now.

R Allen I was thinking the opposite

[@DJGregTheColombian]

I really like this. How much does this cost in total?

[@juliakonya7266]

Julia Konya 2 weeks ago We didn't have to pay for rocks since we had them in the yard already. The stock tank is around $400, the pump around $160, liner around $100, bamboo depends on where you live and shipping... I have direct links to it all in my blog post with the exact current prices cuckoo4design.com/our-new-stock-tank-swimming-pool-in-our-sloped-yard/

[@doesnotFempute]

We are currently setting up our stock tank pool. We updated for a blue poly (plastic) tank so no need for liner. It was $409 at tractor supply. I bought a quickset pool (kind with the inflatable ring) from Walmart for $59 which comes with the filter pump. I'm going to sell the pool piece and get some of that money back. I bought a skimmer for $10 and am going to buy a handheld pool vacuum from Lowe's for $25. I'm using a "small pool opening kit" for chemicals which is about $30. We already had all tools and didn't need to buy or rent anything to set up. Everything else will just be cosmetic, such as building a deck, fashioning a pool cover (necessary in the southern US summer bug swarms) and an enclosure for the filter pump (going to use an altered rubbermaid bin). A chunk of money to set up, but in my opinion, more practical and better value than having an above ground pool installed.

[@salesselectatoners2475]

wow. amazing job !!!

[@blackrobinstudios6830]

Hi Julia,Thank you so much for inspiring me with your beautiful pool. Yours is my favorite! I am going to or attempting right now to get all the parts. I have a very specific question. I did order the same pump you have and I am about to order the replacement kit with parts to connect to pool but I am confused as to why you have ordered the larger extra plunger valve? I looked up the model number of the plunger valve which comes with kit which is 10747 on amazon and the one you said to buy is another kind but doesn't say model number. I just want to make sure the one you recommended which is labeled as large plunger valve that it does fit as the description says otherwise. Thank you for your help and looking forward to more of your projects which I am enjoying.

[@juliakonya7266]

Hi there, I bought the other one because it was recommended in another blog post. The one that comes with the kit is odd and you can't screw it on the way you can with the one I have. Not sure if it would also work or not.

[@blackrobinstudios6830]

Thank you Julia for writing back! Ok so the large one will fit? I just got my pump and so now I can at least get my hands in and figure things out. I will order the large one since it worked for you. As well as the rest. I have been sending your video to all of my friends! It is by far the coziest stock tank pool! The liner is now unavailable. I do like it on your pool. How are you liking it?? Is it holding up well? THanks again!

[@juliakonya7266]

@@blackrobinstudios6830 I think other 8 foot liners will probably work as well. You can see other blog posts about my pool in my original blog post cuckoo4design.com/our-new-stock-tank-swimming-pool-in-our-sloped-yard/ There is one about how it looked after the winter and how it's been holding up. I also frequently talk about it in my instagram feed. It's holding up great and we use it daily!

[@carlyandfriends1547]

What size is the stock tank and how deep?

[@TheRainHarvester]

I read your request about clips. Maybe pvc pipe cut in 2" lengths. Then cut length wise. This will make a letter C. Push them over the edge. Might need to widen the length wise cut. Is the liner just for cosmetics? Would a big blue rain tank with its top cut off work better? (I'm thinking it wouldn't rust, and it is already the color of a liner.)

[@juliakonya7266]

We actually don't even need the clips after all. The rocks have been doing a great job keeping the liner in place. We can't have a plastic tub because it isn't sturdy enough to withstand the hill and rocks. We had to go with metal which is why we need the liner :)
