The newest trend in cooling off in the summer!

With the pandemic, public pools may be closed and a ton of people are looking for home options to cool off in the summer!  Above-ground pools aren’t always the easiest thing to install in your yard.  There’s leveling the ground, sand or concrete and all the things!

So, people have found the solution!  The new trend is buying a large steel cattle trough and using it as a pool. The troughs work like above-ground pools, plus they have a sort of rustic farmhouse look that works with some people’s hipster design style.  You can design around it, landscape and make it your very own style!

If you’re interested, the cattle troughs cost around $300 to $600.
