Has anybody used a pool like this for their ducks?

The duck pond has been going for 7 years now and well, pressure treated wood gives up eventually. I have another leak in the filter box somewhere that we are trouble shooting, but the wood supporting the pond is slowly rotting away, so will need to replace the pond at some point. I fear sooner than later :(

I think it could work but I think I’d get new wood and build a “surround” for it... make it easy on yourself and build it as an octagon. Putting the flat “deck” pieces on the top will give the ducks a place to stand, as in your current set-up. You’ll still be able to replace the pool by folding up the old one and unfolding the new one into the surround. Have you thought about how you’ll set up the pump and filter in a pool like that?
 
I love the wood pool setup you have, it's very nice!
I have had an intex mini frame pool for the past year and has held up well even with being setup all winter.

It has a drain plug on the bottom the only issue is that it's small so it takes a long time to drain.
It does waste a lot of water having to change it every few days so having a filter setup is something I hope to do in the future.
The collapsible pool would probably work well for a temporary solution while doing repairs on their pond.
