Two layers of 4 mil plastic liner. Two threaded PVC fittings. 140 gallons of rainwater.
You could fill it up and jump on it, but we recommend using it inside a bench like this (plans available in the 140gal DIY kit).
btw Scott is 190 lbs (ok 200+ after Thanksgiving). Really, please don't jump on the liners. This was just for testing purposes...
(but it was pretty fun) -

Build your own Rain Bench® that holds 65 gallons of water, and 2 people.
(the water in, the people on) The actual capacity of the liner that is included is up to 140 gallons, which means if you simply build a bigger box, it will expand to the size (maximum 32"L x 32"W x32"h) and hold a ton of water.Ok, it will only hold 1,120 lbs, or a little over half ton of water if built to max capacity.
That's a lot of water. (Tip: If you want to put one on your deck, make sure it was built to hold a hot tub. We recommend setting it on a level bed of permeable gravel instead) -
