You can literally accomplish this exact task without burying a giant tire.
skipweasel
Tuck the liner well into the tyre and you'll have that nice overhang that fish love to lurk in. Neat.

May Cthulhu strike down all who use the term "life hack."

'useful' 'life hack'

Step 1 have an old tire. Step 2 turn it into a gorgeous backyard pond

Tires are the most useful things in the world.

Also looks shit..
TobyHinloopen
I actually have a single spare tractor tire... but how to make t waterproof? The plastic wont hold right?

I am in love

Just because you can doesn't mean you should

Thanks to CrossFit you can't find old giant tires on the cheap anymore. They used to just give them away, like pallets before Pintrest.

What if the film stuff rips?

Went from redneck with a huge tire to fountain of youth and 4 steps I like it

These ponds always look so stupid when finished.
exitparadise
Or you could just dig a hole and stack some rocks around it.

Thank you Wheels on Wheels!

unless you're in a place where it never freezes, that would turn to a solid block of ice; needs to be deeper.

I don't have enough water sources to breed mosquitoes.
Totallyscrewedinaustin
Thats why you put goldfish in there, to eat the mosquito larva
Awesoman66theCactusLord
Only if you have a spar tractor tire and a lawn, and money
InsertUnimaginativeUsernameHere
Not much money...
Gehennan
Or you know someone with a tractor tire on their lawn and you want to turn it into a water feature. It's a versatile tip.
fairybug
"And that's how I got zika." -- OP, probably. I would love something like this, but fuck giving mosquitoes another place to breed.

ProductivityCanSuckIt
You skipped the first part where you bury the body and then place the tire on top.
AtsaMattaForYou
Also, bury it vertically. What?

Step 1: Find abandoned graveyard with a tire in it. 2: spread Vaseline all over the tire 3: Provide air to the sacrifice until the time is /
benovere
right 4: All hail Egret, demon god of the tire pool!
brannewenergy
Where the water filtration system?
SuperRockinMrMagic
When it rains some of the old water will spill out?
Barkinsons
That's not enough to keep your pond from producing shit tons of algae.

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of a mosquito farm.
beenbannedb4
true fact. Zika factory.
imgurusername7
Fun fact: Not everyone lives where mosquitos breed.
crazymojomonkey
That's why you need tadpoles! Bonus: forgs!
Dvicemuse
Is it though?
crashdummy35
Yeah, I thought this was recycling/repurposing..?
absolutebullshit
Just make sure the water is moving otherwise you're going to have a bad time.
barnwolf
If you have fish, they'll eat the bugs right?
absolutebullshit
Yes and they also keep the water moving
crashdummy35
In Texas that thing would spawn Zika and West Nile like wildfire....
scuba7jb
But actual fiberglass pond liners can be purchased for less than 100 bucks... and they don't weigh 400lbs like a tractor tire does.
gambronus
And they're much less likely to tear/rip than a plastic sheet
Mistercristo
Yeah, no shit: "Hey, everybody! Look at me doing things the most inefficient and head-scratching way possible!" SMH lol
thebiggestblackestdick
An they are way less expensive
OSCgal
Betting the one in the photo is a used tire. I think you can get those for free.
Micah408
Man, fuck fiberglass.
upp3
Wouldn't that hurt?
Micah408
Fiberglass condom, bruh.
InvadingYourSpaces
A tractor tire, without a rim, is just over a hundred pounds when used. A bunch of the rubber is gone.
scuba7jb
I was thinking of the tires that I'm familiar with... ones that require a forklift to be moved --
HatsAreEssential
Depends on the tractor. But by the looks of the one in this post, 100lbs looks pretty close. Some get WAY bigger though.
