Create Your Own Outdoor Oasis with These DIY Stock Tank Pool Ideas (2024)

Create Your Own Outdoor Oasis with These DIY Stock Tank Pool Ideas (1)

No pool? No problem! Bring the vacation to your very own backyard this summer by trying one of these stock tank pool ideas. Each one of these clever and creative projects starts with a stock tank (a large, galvanized metal trough originally designed for livestock water storage) and transforms it into an above-ground pool that's useful, stylish, and best of all, budget-friendly.

We know what you're thinking: How attractive can a livestock water storage tank really be? First of all, it will fit in among your patio décor and pretty landscaping, but even if you don't love the look of these metal tanks, not to worry. We've got plenty of inspiration for how to dress them up to your liking, whether you paint them, build a decorative fence around them, or surround them with a garden of gorgeous summer flowers. There's even a tutorial for how to turn your pool into a hot tub so you can truly use it all year round. Once you've got your plunge pool up and running, it's time to invite your friends and family over for the first of many pool parties to come. Talk about making a splash this summer!
