In 2017, the average cost for backyard pool installations ranged between $20,000 and $30,000. Factor in today’s prices, the added issue of COVID-19 business closures, and the demand for some of the materials you need for the job, and you’ve got a hefty price tag on your hands. Not only that, but the time required to schedule installation now that added lockdown measures are in place has increased. To mitigate this mess and circumvent the problems, you might encounter while trying to cool off, why not consider installing a stock tank pool? Not only will it help cool your family off, but it can also look just as outstanding as its mainstream counterparts.
Over recent years, stock tank pools have popped up all over Texas as a creative means to an end. You and your kids want to keep cool in the summer heat. Livestock water troughs provide an inexpensive vessel from which a pool can easily be constructed. Although there are a number of DIY stock tank pool projects posted online, a recent upload to YouTube by Austin Edible Gardens has a few people tuning in. These projects have won the hearts of those who are budget-conscious and make for an innovative solution to enjoying all of the benefits of a standard pool.
