Always great to see your home (and surrounding areas) Matthias, your various projects and your progress. I had a few thoughts about your poor man's pool. 1. If you want to be lower in the water, you could shorten the legs on the chair. 2. Perhaps you could leverage some weight or tension on the plastic edging that would pull it over the bar as you heat it. (I would also caution you on heating and cooling the plastic too much, as I 'think' it may make the plastic harder and more brittle, risking cracking and breaking.) 3. If you use the frame for Ida's pool as it was designed (put the plastic inside the frame, even if it still slides a bit, it will be contained AND supported, [and the water weight should keep it from sliding so much - maybe at all]], and you could cut the 'legs' sticking up, down below the plastic line to avoid inadvertent impaling. 🤪😅 Whatever you decide to do, as always, I wish you great success.

Thanks James. I had tested the dog pool and found that due to the weight of the water it got bend down. So have to rethink that one...stay tuned ;-p

Maybe use some big tie-wraps to pull the plastic around the edge? Not the most beautiful way maybe. But it will do the job, i think.

@@petervermeer.4904 thank you for the suggestion. In next weeks video you will be able to see my solution. Also not the prettiest, but not bad for a first try (even if i say so myself...hahaha).

wrap some metal wire around the top of the ibc tank and connect the earth of a arc welder then stick a welding rod to it as well that would soon warm up provide as much heat as you need to bend the rim ?

[@Quinta-Entre-Aguas]

Great idea, but i do not have an arc welder. Wondering if that would probably melt the metal rim? I only want to bend the plastic over that metal rim.
