Hi guys we are looking to place our gold fish in a temporary pool while there pond gets rebuilt larger I have been looking at various solutions koi vats are way to expensive for me found a site that does pools (bestways) would one of these be ok reason for asking is that I have heard some materials can leach nasty chemicals which would harm the fish any help or advice welcome

regards Sandy and Tony.

I've bought a 600 gal. 'swimming/paddling' pool for just this reason when I do my rebuild next year. It was £15 from Tesco! It is 3ft deep, so enough for a couple of weeks I feel.
I agree, the vats are expensive if just for a temporary home.

I got one from argos for £15 i have had the fish in there since March not problem at all, wish i could say the same for the main pond. I actual brought two just in case i get a leak at that price it worth it.
