As the summer vastly approaches and the temperatures rise many of us are pondering the options of how to stay cool without spending an arm and a leg. While many options are at hand such as water parks, community pools and beaches. They all serve to have at least two things in common: leaving the comfort of your own home and spending money.
Stock tank pools seem to be the trending topic for the summer. They are a simple and unique way to spruce up your backyard. In-ground pools can run you upwards of $20,000+ to install and can add up once you include yearly maintenance. Stock tank pools are popular in the rural population where most of the materials, including the pool itself is typically already on hand or can be found at your local farm supply store. They are budget-friendly, easy to install and maintain.
The price of the stock tank can run anywhere from $150-$350, depending on the size of the pool. The only other materials you will need are a small pump, a filter and several feet of tubing. You can place the pool on any even level surface such as a patio deck or even the ground if it’s not bumpy! Those who aren’t fans of the rustic look tend to decorate around the bottom of the pool with items such as pebbles or flowers. Whatever your imagination will let you do, the choice is yours and you now have your own personalized pool in your backyard for less than $500!
