ABOUT US
Inspired by the ranch.
Born in West Texas.
Built for Backyard Living.
Coyote Pools was founded by Malia Scott in 2023 with a simple idea: create an affordable backyard watering hole built for hot West Texas summers—and cool nights under the stars.
A West Texas native, entrepreneur, Relationship & Sex Therapist, outdoor enthusiast, off-road RVer, and lifelong water lover, Malia envisioned something beyond the standard above-ground pool—without the $80K+ investment of a traditional in-ground pool.
Inspired by adventures through Big Bend, Palo Duro Canyon, and Caprock Canyons, Coyote Pools was born.
More Than a Stock Tank Pool.
Malia's work as a therapist has given
Coyote Pools a bigger purpose: creating spaces & experiences that bring people together.
A place for kids to play. Friends to gather. Couples to reconnect. Families to slow down. And everyone to get outside a little more.
Made for the Ranch. Reimagined for the Backyard.
Coyote Pools offers professionally installed galvanized, poly, and COMBO stock tank pools, customized with Coyote Moon Decks, heaters, hard foam covers, benches, and backyard add-ons.
No massive construction project.
No $80K+ pool required.
Just a beautiful backyard watering hole for cooling off, soaking, sunning, sipping, and spending more time with your people.
Ranch roots. Backyard living. Designed for connection & relaxation.

WHY THE COYOTE
The coyote is a creature of the West.
Wild.
Resourceful.
Adaptable.
Intelligent.
It knows how to thrive in landscapes where water is precious, temperatures are extreme, and survival requires a little ingenuity.
That spirit is at the ❤️ of Coyote Pools.
We believe backyard living doesn’t have to follow the traditional rules.
You don’t need a massive yard, a six-figure swimming pool, or a resort somewhere else to have a place where people gather, cool off, slow down and reconnect.
Sometimes you just need to rethink the "watering hole".
Coyote Pools takes one of the simplest icons of ranch life—the stock tank—and reimagines it for modern outdoor living.
From small West Texas backyards to ranches and luxury homes, our pools are designed around the same philosophy the coyote has embodied for generations:
✔ Adapt to the landscape
✔ Use what works
✔ Waste less
✔ Live outside
✔ Find the water
✔ Gather there.
Because a pool shouldn't just be something you own.
It should change the way you live in your backyard.
OUR VISION
To reimagine the American backyard by making beautiful, intentional outdoor water experiences more accessible, adaptable and connected to the landscapes where people actually live.
We envision backyards becoming modern-day watering holes—
places where families gather, friends stay longer, kids play, adults exhale, music gets turned up, conversations happen and ordinary summer nights become memories.
OUR MISSION
Coyote Pools creates innovative stock tank pools and outdoor living experiences
inspired by the resourcefulness and independent spirit of the American West.
We transform simple, durable materials into thoughtfully designed backyard watering holes that work across different spaces, lifestyles and budgets—
without requiring the cost, construction or permanence of a traditional swimming pool.
Born in West Texas. Built for backyard living.
THE COYOTE WAY
RESOURCEFUL
We believe great design isn't about excess. It's about doing more with what you have.
ADAPTABLE
Small backyard. Large Backyard. Courtyard. Luxury home. Ranch. AirBnB.
The watering hole adapts to the landscape—
not the other way around.
WILD
Backyards should feel alive.
Less perfectly manicured.
More bare feet, cold drinks, dogs, kids, music, moonlight and actual living.
CLEVER
The stock tank wasn't invented to be a swimming pool.
That's exactly what makes it interesting.
We take something simple and make it work differently.
RESILIENT
Coyote Pools was born in West Texas—
a place where heat, wind, dust and drought are part of life.
Our approach to outdoor living starts with respecting that environment.
SOCIAL
Every watering hole eventually becomes a gathering place.
We Stock Tank pools & Coyote Moon Decks around what happens around the water
as much as what happens in it.
FREE
You don't need someone else's definition of the perfect backyard.
Build the place where you want to live.
FIND YOUR WATERING HOLE
The coyote doesn't wait for the landscape to become easier.
It learns the landscape.
It adapts.
It finds the water.
So do we.
