DIY Stock Tank Pool in a Deck

How much does a 12x12 kitchen cost?

thank you!

Wood fired Stainless Steel heater is also an option!!

Really nice pool April! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

I grew up using these pools … only the cows were sometimes upset

Your deck is awesome. I would so be that neighbor who is over all the time.

Thank you for excellent advice, I watched your deck build and became informed enough to build my own, I absolutely love it and if I was in the USA I would have a cowboy pool 😢

I saved the controller, pump and ionizer when I trashed my old spa, for use with a stock tank at my new house.

We are in the Tx Hill country. We are considering a cowboy pool for our property - it’s available for short term rentals. It’s not our residence. We were cautioned by our property management company that we should investigate the weekly/daily Maintenace and how we can best keep it clean between guests. Do you cover yours? Screen cover (so critters don’t fall in) or solid plastic cover tied down? Do you use a robot skimmer? Can you make suggestions on how we might consider the Maintenace for a non residence? Thank you!

Thank you! Very helpful!

my stock tank 8ft was $600, the cowboy pool is almost 4k wow....

How often does someone fall into that stock tank?

What’s going on with her and Jacob?

Our best friends live in Wimberley and they just bought a house that had an old pool like this but they had it replaced with a Cowboy Pool like yours, mainly its for their grandkids but they enjoy it as well

This deck setup came out so nice. Great work. I watched the build videos too. Pretty cool. 😎

This might be just what I've been looking for. I need a good size indoor pool for my water monitor. I don't swim, but he sure does

WOW almost $5,000 for that tiny pool.. my 27' above ground pool installed was $4,000

What kind of stain did you use on your deck? Looks really nice.

Put your pump on a smart switch. Turn it on via your phone when your at work. Additionally you can schedule the pump to run daily without having to remember to flip the switch.

I have an in ground pool in Dallas. It’s 92 degrees in the summer. Not enjoyable. Stock tank pools must be 95+. No thanks.

Great video. Great job delivering information efficiently. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Great video! Just to make people aware it is super important to electrically bond all of your pool equipment and metal components. A lot of people (and even electricians) don't do this properly and it's possible to get shocked if not done right.

You should put a mat under your grill so no grease gets on your deck.

April, I loved your video! I really want a Honcho "Cowboy Pool"!
Keep up the excellent work my friend. I cannot wait until your next video!
Well done, April!

👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Love the videos - you are always giving me ideas/projects to do on my ranch. Think I'm going to add a stock tank pool to my patio expansion project. Thanks!

I wonder if they have a fire option....as in fire pit under or adjascent to the tank, like japanese tubs

Muy bueno tu video Carlos de Argentina

I created a pool out of a 300Gal polymer livestock watering tank.
I hooked up a sand filter and an inline jacuzzi heater which cycles daily. The kids have used it for 3 years straight.

I grew up on a dairy farm, and we had geese. Dad and Mom got us kids one in the 80's- no more kiddie pools ruined by the geese!! Though the seam in the center was hell on the knees! It was the best!

A pool without a skimmer seems to me would have a lot stuff floating.

Another choice for some areas is wood heat for your pool

I'm probably just missing it but I didn't find your friend Erin's video you said was linked in the description. Great video!

Wood fired heater is another option.

Back in the 80's in South St Loius, almost every kid had one of these in the backyard. We would run from house to house jumping in the pools... because of this, they always had grass on the bottom. LOL. We would grab the side and pull ourselves around the pool to make a whirlpool. Good times!

Your deck is amazing! Thanks for all the great information on your stock tank pool installation. That’s definitely a good option compared to just a galvanized tank. Keep on building April!

Good morning, April! Now, THAT looks like a relaxing place to be. That "pool" looks great and it makes me want to get my butt in gear to do the deck "add on" for a hot tub. Thanks for sharing another great video with a "cool" idea! Hope you're having an awesome weekend! God bless.

Growing up our neighbors had one

You live in Texas… so… why don’t you role up a black tube in a spiral and lay it down in a sunny spot, pump the water through it back to the tank… almost free warm water. Shut down the pump if it gets to warm…

I like the idea. Having just bought my first house. I’ll probably make one myself when i’m done renovating the house.

Did you get a cover for the tank we have lots of critters here that take baths in them. They look great.👍

من اليمن 👍👍👍🇲🇨

Hey! What about a rocket heater (wood) that would just prepare a perfect bath for you on those cold winter afternoons?

If you are going to get all extra's I don't think its worth it, better to get a quality used hot tub/spa pool,...............it will last a lot longer, more insulation, lower running costs built in lights, fountain, ice bucket, music player, lockable lid.....................you get what you pay for. I would get one as a basic plunge pool/ice bath.

April are you going to cover it or Put a fence to isolate it from the puppers? If not you may want to consider a dog exit ramp to avoid a doggo falling in and drowning. Vertical side ponds dogs can’t get out easily and can drowned. I’ve had it happen. Look it up and maybe make a little ramp for them to exit.

We have an 8 ft poly stock tank pool. I got the stock tank itself used for $100 and I'm about another $300 in for the pump, filters, connections, and hole saw. We're on summer #2 and it's going great.

Just wondering how you like to use your pool off camera and in private? Do you sit on the edge, sit in the pool, wade, float and look at the clouds above you?

Maybe I missed it, but is your pool 8 foot April? 🤷🏻‍♂️
