Static tanks
« on: June 27, 2007, 07:32:25 pm »
Im after a 1000 litre static tank, but has to fit through a 680mm width gap. Does anyone know of any companies that make tanks to personal requirements?

you could also use two smaller tanks, and connect them with a pipe

How about this?

http://www.water-tanks.net/acatalog/Baffled_Water_Tanks_1050Litres.html

£245 + £45 carriage + VAT = £345.75

I was told it would be available from 28 June.

Just cut it in half and glue it back together!

Evostick is good or someone once told me that sellotape is fairly strong.

My friend has his own farm and gets about 2 of these a year. He currently has about 30 of them.

All they need is a good pressure wash on the inside and that does. It's not contaminated as my water is allways 000ppm.

Cool, well that would be cheapest option to go for, but my problem is the small gap to get the tank through!

Right,

It's 1m wide so you will have a little problem.

Does it have to sit in that gap or go through the narrow gap into a bigger space?

If it's the 2nd one could you lift it up or throw it over? 2 men could do that easily as it's pretty light when empty

It will go into a bigger space, but its into a shed!

Ha ha, that is an option, but its a brick shed! I even thought of taking the roof of as its only that old asbestos roof sheets that are screwed, but its all been insulated and plasterboarded as it was used as an office. And i dont think it would fit due to the wooden rafters. Any other ideas ha ha  ;D

Why don't you get 2 or 3 250L rain butts and join them together?
