These are the same as what I was calling stock tanks, and I agree. Once you know what you want and where, I would go stock tank all the way (or even better an actual pond). But stock tanks cost around 3-5 times as much as a kiddie pool vs their size. They are worth it if you are going to keep them, but if you are experimenting and figuring out how much pool and where, or just saving up for that super solution, I think the kiddie pools bridge the gap and get your ducks swimming today. This is who I initially wrote this for. My plans are for a 20 x 30' pond about 4' deep at the drain, but that will take some planning and saving and won't happen until after I build my super duck house. (Now they have a 8x6' plastic shed with drilled in air holes and an automatic door). So the pond is a way off. They have a stock tank and they will get plenty of kiddie pools in the meantime.
