The Benefits Of Having A Stock Tank Pool In Your Backyard
By KIRSTIE BINGHAM
Stock tank pools provide affordable, low-maintenance ways to enjoy the benefits of a backyard pool without the high costs and space requirements of traditional inground pools.
Priced between $160 to $600, these pools come in various sizes and shapes, from large round tanks to smaller oval ones, making it easy to find one that will fit your backyard.
The installation process is relatively simple, requiring only basic tools and some DIY skills for setting up intake/outlet valves
and sealing them with
marine-grade adhesive.
Made from sturdy galvanized steel, they are more durable than most above-ground pools. Moreover, managing a stock tank pool is less labor-intensive compared to a traditional pool.
Regular tasks include using a cover to keep out debris, maintaining a sand-based pump filter, and treating the water with chlorine or similar chemicals to
ensure cleanliness.
