Swim Tank

Heres basically the plywood and tarp idea. Works and wont break your wallet.


If you need something "prettier" here is another cool alternative.

Make the box, then line it with fiberglass to keep the water in. you could cut out the sides if you want to get a view of the dogs kicking or whatever. and you could use a high quality plywood and/or paint/treat it to give it a cleaner/finished look.

 

Thats sweet TY

 

I have a pond directly across the street from the house. A long homemade lead, and the pond work well.

 

i found one on my property that i did not even know was there i was up in a tree looking to put a tree stand up and seen a muskrat swimming.i don't know how i am going to get to it.it is in the middle of some cattails.

 

city boy question again, is that 100 gallon plastic trough gonna be tall enough for a 50 lb bulldog?
its a 30 minuite drive so i want to know b4 i go, looks pretty short to me but its just online pics. also what would be the easiest/safest way to tie the dog up?

 

got the trough, now im not sure if i need to use a 2X4 or if a chain would be okay to attach to the harness. Also am unsure high high i should elevate the dog if at all. Any help would be appreciate, i'll keep everyone up to date on how it works out

 

Yeah a 2x4 and cable to harness would work fine set it up like how the Grand Carpetmill hook ups . what are the dimensions of the water trough

 

noustroms that nice never seen it done like that..

 

id like to figure out a way to install jets in something like that to add a current.

 

that would be cool, but i lookin for an alternative to cardio. Not really resistance

 

Pond Pumps, Waterfall Pumps | Pondliner.com Maybe something like that would work.

 

yea i have a pretty serious pond pump that pumps 2,900 gallons per hour, but i still feel that woulldnt help shit, i need that damn pump they use on the lazy river @ the water parks! more like 100,000 gph lol

thing is i would love to build one like this, and theyre pretty damn easy and cheap for the most part.
but i wont waste my time on it unless i can add current.

i gotta pool here that they swim in quite a bit.

 

My 300 gallon horse trough did not work for my 60 lb., but I just moved on my new place that has 3 ponds. I was wondering how many min. ya'll started ya'lls dogs out at I have swam her a few times in my friend's pool for 15 min. But she is in pretty good shape so just wondering

 

what kinda set-up did u have if you dont mind sharing

 

any ideas on how to keep it from becoming a breeding ground for mosquitoes?

 

If you use a swim tank do you still have to work you dog on the mill ?
