The perfect backyard stock tank pool for family & friends. Starting around $800.

Looking for something larger than 8’? Try a bottomless stock tank! They’re available in sizes ranging from 12’ to 30’ in diameter and up to 44” deep!

The most common size for stock tank pools; its larger than a hot tub and similar to small above-ground pools, the Big Kahuna is perfect for families who need a little room. This 8' foot round pool has room for everyone and still keeps the footprint reasonable. For the "rustic" look, we recommend Tractor Supply's 8' x 2' galvanized tub. The tank can simply be filled and emptied with fresh water from your hose, or add a pump and pool treatment kit (see step 2) to last all summer!

Safety

NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A POOL. Pools present a drowning risk, no matter their size or depth. Children should never be left unattended in a pool, whether stock tanks or not. Even though a stock tank is 2' shallow it still presents a drowning and safety hazard. Children and adults can drown in as little 6" of water. It is up to you evaluate whether a pool, stock tank or not, is safe for you and your family. And just for good measure, we'll say it again NEVER LEAVE CHILDREN UNATTENDED IN A POOL. Please see our pool safety and drowning prevention guide for 5 tips to make your stock tank pool as safe as possible.
