Pickup truck bed swimming pools,your thoughts!

#1 Post by PROFESSOR JARROD »

I was just looking on line at videos where people used their truck's bed as a swimming pool.
I personally have no intent of using my truck's bed as a pool but I was a bit surprised to see a video of a Ford truck with its metal bed stretched out of alignment to the point that the tailgate had space on both sides of it where the weight of the water had pushed the bed out on both sides,
I would think a truck bed would hold up if a plastic or air filled pool could withstand the weight of the water.
"Heck," I have a 30 year old plastic bathtub in my house that I am still using so to see a pickup bed bent out of shape seems a bit odd to me.
I'm just wondering if any one on the Clubhouse hase used their truck's bed for a pool and did you have any issues after doing so?

A Neighbor just dug a huge hole in the ground and lined it with plastic.
After awhile it got a bit scummy so he rigged some sort of filter and turned it into a rather nice Coy Pond surrounded by flagstones.
