Intro to Stock Tank Pools

Stock tank pools have become quite popular as affordable and stylish alternatives to traditional in-ground or above-ground pools. These pools are typically made from galvanized steel tanks, originally designed for holding water for livestock, and are now repurposed as above-ground swimming pools. They have a rustic and industrial look and are often much cheaper and quicker to set up than traditional pools.

Here are a few things to know about stock tank pools:

1. Size and Shape

• Stock tanks come in various sizes, ranging from small 3-foot tanks to larger 8-foot tanks, depending on how many people you want to accommodate.

2. Material

• Our Stock tank pools are made from galvanized steel, which is durable and rust-resistant.

3. Installation

• Stock tank pools are easy to install. Since they are pre-formed tanks, all you need is a flat surface, such as a concrete pad or a well-leveled area in your yard. Don’t just set-up on grass.

4. Water Circulation and Filtration

• Adding a filter pump is essential if you plan to keep the water clean.

5. Customization

• Many people like to personalize their stock tank pools by adding seating, decking, lights, or even a heater for cooler weather.

• The rustic design allows for easy customization with DIY projects like surrounding the tank with wooden decking or creating a natural stone border.

7. Maintenance

• Just like any pool, stock tank pools require regular maintenance. This includes cleaning, balancing the water, and checking the filtration system.

• The water may need to be replaced periodically, especially if you don’t have a robust filtration system.

8. Temperature Control

• Since stock tank pools are above ground, the water can get quite warm in the summer. However, during colder months, the water can cool down quickly.

9. Aesthetic Appeal

• Stock tank pools are a trendy option for those who like a rustic, farmhouse, or industrial aesthetic. They're simple yet stylish and can be a great addition to a backyard.
