Stock tank pools are quickly becoming the go-to choice for backyard fun, and for good reason! As someone who grew up in the Midwest, I’ve seen firsthand how versatile a livestock watering tank can be. My childhood summers were filled with memories of my brothers and me splashing around, using the stock tank as our makeshift pool. I can’t forget the times they tossed me in while the horses looked on, or that one time I even used it to shave my legs when the bathroom was occupied. Little did we know, we were ahead of the curve!
This summer, the trend is taking social media by storm, and it’s a delightful nod to our rural roots. Stock tanks are being transformed into chic and budget-friendly pools that fit right in your backyard. With the price of traditional in-ground pools soaring into the thousands, a stock tank—typically around $350—paired with a pump for about $89, provides an affordable alternative that keeps you cool while looking adorably rustic.
For those who fancy a little DIY flair, many are sinking their stock tanks into the ground and surrounding them with wooden decks or pavers. This not only elevates the aesthetic but also addresses that age-old concern: the metal tank can get a bit toasty in the sun.
