In summer cottages today you can find Eurocubes for storing water; often they are not used for their intended purpose and only take up space. We recommend converting them into summer pools for children and more.

What is needed


How to make a pool from a Eurocube

In addition to the Eurocube itself with a capacity of at least 800 liters, 20x30 mm slats, lining, and screws for metal and wood are needed. The tools you need to prepare are an electric jigsaw, a grinder, a grinder with an abrasive disc, clamps and a screwdriver. The boards are protected from rotting with special impregnations and painted.

Manufacturing technology


The Eurocube is very convenient because it has a drain neck. And as soon as the water begins to “bloom,” it can be immediately used to water the garden, which is very convenient.

Lift the plastic container slightly from the metal frame. To prevent it from falling back to its original place, push the slats from below. Using a marker or felt-tip pen, draw a cutting line for the top around the perimeter. Using an electric jigsaw, carefully remove the excess part of the Eurocube. The plastic is easy to cut, you don’t need to put in much effort. If the container is dirty, you can now thoroughly rinse its internal surfaces.

Remove the metal plate, on which the manufacturers indicated the technical characteristics of the Eurocube and the parameters of the stored liquid. The plate is fixed with metal clamps, they need to be cut.
The upper edges of the plastic tank should be located at the same level with the horizontal trim of the metal sheathing of the Eurocube. If you made a mistake with the dimensions or the depth of the pool is too deep, then you need to cut the container again, taking into account the problems found.
To do this, remove the plastic from the sheathing and use a grinder to cut off one row of metal tubes. In this case, it is imperative to leave a horizontal strapping around the perimeter; it not only guarantees strength, but also serves as a place for attaching wooden sheathing.
