<p>The liquid rubber looks interesting but at $50 a gallon I think that a pond liner might be more cost effective. It says 15 sq.ft / gallon. No not sure if that includes the 3 coats it says for a pond setting.</p>

<p>The front porch system is going to wait now. I have scored a 1000 gallon cylindrical tank that I am going to put in the ground in my back yard. I am going to build a 12' X 30' hoop house over it and put trout in the tank. I'll be getting started as soon as I can dig. </p>

<p>The inside dimensions of the fish tank will be 3'4 (W) x 6'5 (L) x 19" deep to make a tank around 250 gallons. The walls of the tank will go 4" higher than the water level, making the tank 2' high from the outside. Because I am tight for space,running 2x4's on all sides will take an additional 7" each way, I am thinking about running a few metal bars up the sides of the tank and attaching some thin cables on the top and bottom to hold any outward pressure and buldging.

I am thinking now that 3/4" should be fine with enough bar. I will probably use 1" on the bottom of the grow beds, which sit on top, to avoid any sagging. <br/> <br/> <cite>Bill Barker said:</cite></p>
