These pools are great if you want a Western aesthetic in your backyard. This could be your best project/investment ever, especially when you think about those long summer days!

Here are a few ideas on how you can turn your stock tank into every cowgirl’s dream pool:

@stocktankpool has super-helpful information if you choose to take the leap and build your dream cowgirl pool. If you need some more convincing, here are a few notes from @stocktankpool:

  • You can make your pool a hot tub.
  • Stock tanks are super easy to find, and are available at Tractor Supply, Rural King, Co-Op, True Value, and other farm supply stores.
  • You’re looking at about $600 for the whole pool, including tank, pump, and other parts. Not too bad!
  • An 8-ft tank can usually fit around eight adults at once. Party time!
  • A stock tank pool’s timeline is unclear, but sooner or later, the tank will rust due to the water. Some claim that their stock tank pools have lasted years.

Honestly, who wouldn’t want their own unique cowgirl pool right in their backyard?

These Cowgirl Approved Stock Tank Pools Will Have You Wishing Summer Lasted All Year Long https://www.cowgirlmagazine.com/cool-off-with-stock-tank-pools/ Sat, 10 Mar 2018 03:00:24 +0000 https://www.cowgirlmagazine.com/cool-off-with-stock-tank-pools/ The weather is warming up and cowgirls are finding innovative ways to stay cool after long, hot days.

One of the best ways for cowgirls to cool off this summer is also one of the most simple ways. What could I be talking about?  Stock tank pools!

These types of pools are traditionally used as watering troughs for livestock, but have become a popular alternative to traditional swimming holes in recent years as they only cost several hundred dollars to buy, providing a relatively low cost option for those who don’t want to purchase a pool or keep up with a lot of maintenance.

Check out this stock tank pool inspiration and get ready to be blown away!
