Plywood Tank w/ pond lining instead of epoxy?

[Rakie]

Anybody try this ? Is the resin/epoxy/fiberglass method structurally important ?


If the lining would work... Could you possibly support the wood externally with 2x4 bracing on the top / bottom of the tank ?




Also, wondering if there is another super cheap way to go about this?

Yes it's been done, several threads on here too.

You need thick wood or use ribs to support it.

Cheaper?? http://www.qualityinflatables.com/poolseasyset.html

haha, thanks much. I searched but didn't find anything.

Im looking to build a plywood tank eventually, id love to cut costs of course, but I need a viewing pane, a pool would be interesting but not for what I want to keep myself.
