Preferably a do it yourself job, no backhoe available. Just a pickup and
some
wheel barrows. It's 8 feet at the deepest and about 12 x 20 ft.

I was considering sections of corrugated steel culvert pipe surrounded
by rock and gravel but I'm no civil engineer.

how about a truck service where you call them out to dump some mud/sand
and let them just dump to the old pool......
probably need about 8-15 loads of mud....
