    Argos sell suitcases - you could buy ten and sew them together, then line them with plastic and make them into a segmented pool...or they also sell pools...

    Are you mad??? First decent hay-making summer in a decade, and you want them to sell them for swimming pools???

    Not to mention that the poor moo-cows are starving again now that the sun is shining (relentlessly) and the grass is burning.....

    You gotta feel sorry for the farmers (or at least the poor moo-cows)....

    Sorry. Back on topic.

    Oh I'm sorry. Let me momentarily qualify my post. Given that it's my post that has attracted all the "WTF" replies, and not the OP, I feel obliged to add clarity to this thread.

    The OP is faced with a baffling dilemma. He / she requires some ideas for producing a swimming pool using non-traditional means. A "do-it-yourself" (DIY) type approach.

    His current "DIY" approach seems to involve digging a "hole" in his "garden" and filling it with "water".

    However, this rudimentary approach would appear to frustrate the OP and rightly so since it also involves a "plastic tunnel", however, the role of the tunnel is not clear, and because of that, his / her idea would appear to be poorly thought out (it is), and hence his / her plea for alternatives.

    I was merely attempting to echo the OPs request, a post which has only served to anger and confuse the masses. I hope my reply here provides some degree of clarity.
    wat

    Please see above Seedy. Please. See. Above.

    Try your local co-op they probably won't have any but there will be posters on the notice board. Or even try the faming section here.

    Clearly Heidi, it is in your nature to be repetitive given your username so no need to apologise.
