2x4's, screws and big zip ties.

I just made a simple frame with the 2x4s then looped the zip ties through the handle holes to hold it up.

Doesn't that drastically cut down the amount of water the tub will hold? A few more 2x4's and you could just box it in and use the entire tub volume. Well you'd have to seal those holes.

what i do for mine, (other than stock tanks) is a take 2-4 of them and put them inside eachother, makeing them stronger so they don't bow under water pressure.

I suppose if you wanted it to hold more water you could seal the holes and drill new ones at the lip for the zip ties.

Those holes are approximately where this yellow arrow is:
