Hillbilly Pool Instructions

We went with a terrace-type, multi-depth option, which is only for the most advanced hillbillies. The funniest part: it actually held up real, real well. It was even hard to drain! 

Need a cool place to relax before school starts back up? Ain't no problem. Anythang can be transformed into a pool if you have a water source.

  1. Plan for a lush garden, loaded up with homegrown maters and peanut beans and everthang else you love.
  2. Purchase concrete corner pieces and wood slats from your local hardware store.
  3. Stack the slats and concrent 2-3 slats high.
  4. Carefully put down cardboard, smotherin' all weeds.
  5. Cover with peat moss and good soil, makin' sure it takes hours.
  6. Plant all your most favoritest plants.
  7. Watch your garden wilt an' fail miserably.
  8. Line the garden with a cheap tarp.
  9. Fill the tarp with water from the water hose.
  10. Ease in and enjoy your brand-spankin' hillbilly pool!
