Fixing our rusty stock tank pool
The galvanized stock tank pool began to rust 18 months after setting it up. Here is what we did to remove the rust and try to protect it. Watch to the end to see the results!
This is the epoxy paint we used:

Rebuilding raised beds for organic gardening
Переглядів 3002 роки тому
7 year old raised beds are falling apart and need to be deconstructed and rebuilt to extend the life of the beds. The raised beds at the Sustainable Food Center Teaching Garden in Austin, Texas are in need of repair. First they need to be cleaned out, taken apart and the soil kept nearby to be reused in the new beds. This video shows how and why I took the beds apart and the plan for new raised...

We install a rain barrel and connect it to the gutter to collect rainwater to use in our garden. It will also help with stormwater runoff and some flooding issues in our neighbor's yard. We add a 30' overflow pipe to move the overflow water away from our foundation.

Installing drip irrigation in raised vegetable beds
Переглядів 1,3 тис.4 роки тому
I am installing a drip irrigation system in four backyard garden beds using poly tubing and drip tape. See how I use fittings to run the tubing to each bed and how I connect the filter and pressure regulator fitting onto the faucet.
I find that the person that works left-handed should be on the left and the right handed person should be on the right works out a lot better even at the dinner table lol
Is your pool still holding up? About to order this same epoxy
hi.. about about to go over this process over the winter... did it end up working out in the end?
during your prep did you pit anything back in the seams? If not how has the epoxy held up in the seams? Any leaking?
We didn't do anything 'extra' to the seams and there is no leaking.
It should be applied thick. Almost squeegee it around and work it into the surface, especially joints.
Hi! Im here in Austin as well with a nearly identical yard & concept (in progress). Have you had any issues with water build-up behind the limestone walls?
No we haven't.
Epoxy will never work in the long run. Liners are ugly but they work and are inexpensive
What ended up happening after summer? I’m starting my second summer…no rust so far but the bottom of my tank looks like the galvanization is coming off in spots? I’m about to build a deck but worried I may should wait? I’m in Austin too!
Hi . As of June, there are some small patches of rust but it is not spreading. We are going to drain it, remove rust spots and touch up with more epoxy.
🎉2023 just tune it. But good stuff on this Chanel
thanks! I need to make more content.
🎉 oh that was a cool time capsule videoo keep making more
Say, I think perhaps go ahead and coat the new stock tank with epoxy first before installing everything else then maybe the rust won't be an issue?
What is that they say about hindsight? :)
Is there a way to do a color instead of the grey?
Yes, I believe there is a white and blue option.
Thank you so much for the video! Are you concerned that it may gets rusty? Thank you
Hello! See my most recent video - we tackle the rust question.
Thanks for the video! My Cowboy Pool rusted after about a year of use. I used a brass wire brush attached to a drill to get the rust off. I’m now deciding on a liner and timing. How has yours held up?
So far the rust I saw just after applying the epoxy coating about 4 months ago has not gotten any larger.
@@austinediblegardens Do you think maybe you didn't quite get all the rust from that spot, or maybe it didn't get hit with enough rust inhibitor?
@@sjelliott6660 I think we didn't get the rust in that spot good enough. And the seam of the tank is just hard to seal. All is holding steady for now. Any new rust is right along the lip of the tank where we didn't epoxy.
Have you thought of using cold zinc paint to regal anime it?
no i haven't
So if we take those steps with the epoxy prior to ever using the pool, we should be about to prevent rust? Is it feasible to also empty the water when not in use and store it someplace dry? We have a shed it could sit covered in. I can't help but think having it exposed to elements 24/7 helps bring on rusting. Sure it's a pain but knowing you'd just need a few hours to fill and pre for use off season isn't so bad. During summer I would likely leave it.
Yes, epoxy beforehand would be a great idea. Just prevent rust from the start! And yes, you can empty it and store it when not in use. They are meant to be sitting in fields for cattle to drink out of. It's just the chlorine you have to worry about.
Where did you purchase that epoxy?
The link is in the video description.
Your garden is so pretty. God Bless
Thank you so much.
OR........just buy a poly Stock tank!DONE.
I got this tank for free during the pandemic when stock tanks were impossible to find, so I feel lucky to have it.
Wow.... I had a feeling this would happen when I was following the stock tank pool craze......I bought the plastic version...I appreciate you posting this!
Sure thing! I'll post another update in the next few months. So far the rust is not spreading. Enjoy your pool!
Hi, how is the pool holding up? Would love an update! 😊
I'm sorry to hear about this happening. And here I had just about gotten my wife to give me permission to build one of these.. :D Thoughts on the rust and more so in the joint or cracks. I wonder if there is any flex in the metal there. To say that maybe you did a fine job fixing the pool and coating the tank but when you filled the pool with water to metal flexed and cracked the epoxy there and that is allowing the water to get through and "under" the epoxy?
So far the little rust spots are not spreading at all. So yes, maybe some got 'under' the epoxy at the seams, but that's it and all will be fine. I'll post another update in a few months. So far, so good.
@@austinediblegardens I'm having to fix my stock tank this spring as it started to rust last summer. Thinking of doing the epoxy as well, and wanted to check in on if you have seen any more rust.
@@bethanyboudreau5217 The only new rust since this video is on the lip around the top of the tank where we did not apply epoxy. Everything covered in epoxy is good to go. I'll try to do another video update this summer.
thanks for your video! i’m noticing these rust videos popping up, I think we all got our tanks around the same time! I think i’m going to put in a pond liner!
Yep! Good luck with the liner!
Did you find a round one? Most are rectangle and will bunch up!
Maybe that roll on truck bed liner stuff would work
Hello, fellow UA-camr here from Corpus Christi! New Subscriber!
Hello there!
What filter is that
It's listed in the description
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
What about the pipe? Where do I get the pipe from?
All the supplies shown are listed in the description. I think the pipe you are referring to is part of the sand pump.
Thinking I'll have to do the same to ours :( Thanks for sharing. What was the cost of the products used?
About $175-$200 for epoxy and brushes, rollers, etc.
What is your recommendation for filling the beds??
A soil compost blend. 50/50 or 75% soil to 25% compost. I get it pre-mixed from a few different bulk yards in Austin. I recommend calling around asking how yards make their soils. Ours here contain sand, rice hulls, pecan shells, etc. And I'm always amending the soil with organic matter like compost once or twice a year.
Great video! I’m planning to epoxy the inside of my tank this month. Have you heard any reviews on the “pond shield” product that some people are using?
Thanks! I only did a little bit of research on pond shield. I think it is also a two part epoxy, so probably similar to the one I used.
Where did you buy your stock pool from ? And what are the dimensions ?
It's a Hastings. 8'
Do pomegranate trees grow in Austin.
Yes they do!
What is the tank brand please
Hastings
What was the part you used for your inlet? I'm just seeing a link to the outlet above. Thanks!

How long do you run it typically in Austin?
It changes seasonally. There's not set schedule. I usually start with every other day for 30 mins in the morning and adjust as needed. Even though there is a timer on it, I am ALWAYS out there using the manual control, or shutting it off completely to not overwater. Very important!
love this video will look at more
Where in Austin is this? Beautiful space!
This is the Sustainable Food Center Teaching Garden. It is located within the St. David's Foundation Community Garden. Off of Airport and MLK JR Blvd. Thanks!
Love rebuild work. Algorithm recommended you to us. Howdy from SW Michigan
Thanks so much! I do too!
Nice rebuild. Looking forward to the sequel.
Thanks!
Me too Honey! cedar pollen is the devil.
It really is awful. It's the worst/sickest I get every year.
New to Dallas from Colorado and I’m going to do this is my new backyard! Thanks for the help
what a great improvement. thank you for sharing. why did you chose the black star gravel? I want to get decomposed granite for our landscape bc mainly bc i love the color.
I chose it for the color contrast with the white limestone. I like decomposed granite too!
The garden is really looking amazing. 🤗 🌸🐝🐝🐝 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thank you!
link to the pump is dead... :(
I believe it is a supply chain issue. You might not be able to get this pump anymore.
can it be converted in to a hot tub when the weather gets cooler?
Yes but I actually use it for cold plunges when it gets colder. It gets down to about 50 degrees in the winter and I love it. :)
You can really tell how many folks are unhappy with themselves! Just read their comments. The chickens are great and what a wonderful project 😎👏🏽
Yes, thank you
Your chicken is ticked she can't swim with you. 😂
Tank can alternatively be used as a giant deep dish pizza pan
Could you coat it with flex seal on the inside?
No need to.
Are the 5 amazon items listed in your description everything that we need? I couldn't identify the inlet valve from the list of items above. Thanks!
Yes they are
Hi, Thank you for sharing! would you mind give me the parts for the output or shutoff valve?
