Sink an old boat or refrigerator in the ground or do a search around here for a bunch of great ideas.

Whats that suppose to mean,?
 
means dig a hole in the ground and throw a boat, refrigerator, I have a buddy who burried a hot tub. works pretty good just had to seal up all the jets.
I have thought of buying one of the metal frame Intex pools like these http://www.intexcorp.com/metalframe.htm, Target had them onsale for 50$ this fall and I will pick one up next year..
 
Hard sided kidie pools, i always worry about inflatables loosing there air due to a puncture of some kind. Pond liner inside any framing,mines in an old chest freezer in my basement..
 
Ok guys thanks for the ideas. I am likeing the pools one.
 
pools work great, upgrade the filter...sand is a good water polisher, but hardly efficient enough for GF or koi. people have used construction dumpsterstoo...still need a liner.

you can save all kinds of money with DIY filtration...don't skimp on the liner or pumps
