building pool with wood walls

We did that for our first pool and believe it or not, just used a silage tarp for liner. It worked just fine.

I meant to say we used regular plywood for our first pool and worked fine. We called it our "Redneck" pool, but hey it worked great and we saved a LOT of money. The water was crystal clear with a sand pump and we enjoyed swimming it it. Now we are moving up to a bigger pool. It is our "Hillbilly" pool. We used grain bin rings (buried in the ground) and a regular vinyl pool liner. We have had a hard time adjusting the chemistry (we use stream water), but it is getting better every day.
