I'm in need of a temporary pool, something that I can adjust the size, I was thinking I could use pool noodles to create a tank, I just need something I can use in the garage to deep soak a rug. Any ideas, you guys always come up with some great solutions.

Not cheap but looks like some good quality, the rug is huge at 15'
Do the liners run this large? Or do I need more than one?

Considering you can use this liner for years I'd say $1/sq ft is pretty stinkin' cheap ha!

They come in a lot of sizes just do a search.

I've heard of guys using 2" vacuum hose instead of the PVC if you have it.... PVC would be easier if you didn't want to mess around with laying out the vac hose...

I have built several with 3" PVC as it works as good as 4" and is a bit easier to assemble and cheaper. Keep some different lengths around to make different size pits as needed.

Orbitec in Birmingham , AL sells rug cleaning equipment including liners up to 18'. Very good quality. But if this is for a one use and discard situation, 4 mil; or 6 mil poly works fine. We can sell you a big roll and cut to the size you need. http://interlinksupply.com/index.php?search_val=poly+sheet

If you go to the Amazon link &scroll down, you will see larger sizes.
15 x 15, even a 15 x 30

Get some long L shaped steel brackets, (or make them up from flat steel), drill some holes in them and screw to the pvc pipes to hold them in place.

there is a link here with a rolled up rug and a shopvac, did a great job removing most of the moisture.
And a good extraction. Most recommend dry laying flat.

I have a wash pit built with pvc pipe and pond liner. I had sleeves sewn on the liner so all I had to do was slide the pvc into the sleeves and connect with the elbow joints. Pretty easy set up and break down and requires very little storage space. The pond liner is fairly thick - can't remember the exact mil thickness - but is not 100% water tight. I just ordered this to replace what I have. There is also a heavy duty option. http://www.chemicalguys.com/Car_Wash_Mat_Water_Containment_Mat_p/acc_m1.htm

You can also fill the smaller diameter tubes with water to make quick soaking enclosures on the wash floor. (Robert Mann's idea is inexpensive)
