As far as a pond goes, do these work? Can you put a bulkhead in the liner? May make it a koi pond. Either the 10 foot diameter or the 118"x78" rectangle one. and does anyone have pics of theirs? Sorry this is quick im at work and looking forward to replies when I get off. Thanks!

I just set up the 10'x30" round pool yesterday, got it on craigslist for 20.00, i put an epdm liner in though that i had laying around, i can take a few pics for you tomorrow if you'd like.

Dude that would be awesome thank you so much. I think I'm going to buy my pool tomorrow. How does it look in person? Cheap? Do the poles sit crooked?
 
Heres a few pictures, it's still filling ( I have a well and the pressure sucks) the liner still needs to be trimmed, so don't mind that.

The pool liner feels pretty tough honestly, but the pool I bought was fairly new, so I cant say how the liner will hold up over time.


when you first set it up, it is a bit flimsy, but once you have water in it, its solid like a rock from the water pressure, also, it's put together by plastic pins, that you snap through the holes, but I think you could put bolts in there instead, but honestly, it's fine with the pins.

I plan on using 3 33 gallon plastic drums for filters, haven't started on that yet.

That looks pretty sweet. I don't know if I'm going to put an extra liner in mine though. Or even sand for that matter. May just keep it super clean. My liner in my pond right now is black and looks terrible with all that white crap starting to develop on it.
 
And one more question, how could I make a few internal overflows in an intex pool? Just like vertical PVC pipe so when the water gets to that level it falls down it.
 
For overflows I feel like you'd have to use HOB ones. Maybe you could do something with the built in filter holes or something.
