Swimming Pool - Above Ground - Build or Install FAQs

Stock tank pools last for 10 years or more with regular maintenance and repairs. The longevity depends largely on how well you care for the pool, including regular water testing, chemical balancing, and prompt attention to any developing issues. 

For metal tanks, managing rust is crucial—immediately addressing any scratches or damage to protective coatings helps extend the pool's useful life significantly.

Permit requirements vary by location. Many municipalities don't require permits for temporary structures under a certain water depth, but some areas have specific regulations for any water feature. 

If your stock tank pool includes electrical components like pumps or filters, additional permits might be necessary. Contacting your local building department before installation helps avoid potential fines or removal orders.

Yes, stock tank pools can be installed partially in the ground, though this approach requires careful consideration of drainage and structural support. For metal tanks especially, proper protection against ground moisture is essential to prevent accelerated rusting. The added complexity of a semi-buried installation may warrant professional assistance to ensure proper setup and longevity of your investment.

Preventing rust in metal stock tank pools requires proactive maintenance. Remove rust spots early using vinegar and a wire brush, followed by treatment with naval jelly or rust dissolver according to manufacturer instructions. After cleaning the area thoroughly, apply zinc-rich paint to create a protective barrier. Regular water chemistry testing and maintenance help prevent conditions that accelerate corrosion.
