With summer on the way and more people opting to stay home, backyard pool sales are up.

If you can’t afford a below ground pool and don’t like the look of the above crowd there’s a new trend to try.

Buy 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.
