New Pool?

[RosemaryDuck]

Does anyone have a good site they can recommend to buy large plastic kiddie pools or something similar?

The duck gang finally cracked their pool and I'm having a hard time finding anything. No one local has them currently & Amazon is just showing me folding dog pools.

Thanks in advance!

The large plastic kiddie pools around here[usually in late spring ]are so flimsy I had to buy 2 and put them together so it would hold up. I finally went to TSC and bought one of these and my dh put a faucet on it for easy draining

Put an advert on social media for anyone having a no longer in use Little Tikes Turtle Sandpit. Say you want to use it for a pool for ducks -- people like to hear about ducks!

I got one -- complete with cover -- from the side of the road the day before trash collection. It's more robust than the flimsy blue ones and I can cover it at night to reduce bathing by raccoons and tree debris. My ducks like it so much, I advertised on NextDoor and within a couple of hours someone let me know they had one in their garage that their grandchildren have outgrown. When I got there to pick it up, she was evening wiping it down. I texted her a photo of the happy ducks in the turtle's new home and she was very happy.

Many places don't break out the plastic kiddie pools until summer.

If there is a local water garden store then check there. Some pet stores have large water lily tubs too. Tuff Stuff brand seems to be the best. Also, look at stock tanks and concrete mixing tubs at Home Despot

In desperation, dig a hold or set out concrete blocks and line it with a sheet of plastic or piece of pond liner material. Or, cut a plastic 55 gallon drum in half lengthwise.

That is ridiculously cute!! I just looked and Walmart has them for $40 right now brand new. May I ask, how hard is it for you to clean out? I know sandboxes tend to be weighted down/heavy on the bottom to keep kids from flipping them.
