    what about a intex swimming pool. They do a 10' or 12' round and about 30" deep. You should be able to pick one up from eBay for a good price at this time of year.
    I found these which are fairly close to you

    I had my fish in one of those for a good few weeks in the winter a few years ago ( due to a leak )
    and they were fine, think they preferred it to the pond

    mine went two years almost in a workshop in a bestway metal framed pool, 2m * 3m, aside from a slight algae tide line it was in good enough condition after to be boxed ready for the small people to use next year

    they are often listed very cheap and they are from what i have seen well built, it was just on a bit of carpet on the concrete floor, no extra insulation aside from being in a unheated workshop with all the windows open
    the slow pond build thread
