WOULD THIS WORK AS A POND?

Has any one here made a pond out of live stock watering tanks?
I know they have those rubber made ones that are very large and I don't
think you would even need a liner.
You could bury it or even set it on the ground and build around it.
Just a thought.....What do you think?

Hi Dex,

I think with a good liner anything is possible. Once the rocks are up
one would never know.

They guy who designed my waterfall/pond dug a hole and turned a large
concrete set of stairs(2 stairs) upside down. The steps formed the
two tiers and the larger part of the cast is the holding tank.

Looks great. Good luck with your set up.

I would imagine the plastic ones will be around for the next millennium. one word.
do check to make sure there is no leak on the plug on the bottom before you bury it.

I personally like cedar decks around my ponds. ... you can also have it partially
out of the ground, part in and put decking around the exposed part. particularly
good for sitting next to it, and for keeping unwanted water out of it. do build a
netting system into the design, and if you get real winter some kind of plastic
greenhouse over it as well. Ingrid
