Title: Static tanks
Post by: niceandclean 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?

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

Post by: Clear Vision on June 27, 2007, 09:45:18 pm: 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.

Post by: niceandclean on June 27, 2007, 09:48:19 pm: Cool, well that would be cheapest option to go for, but my problem is the small gap to get the tank through!
Title: Re: Static tanks
Post by: Clear Vision on June 27, 2007, 09:53:52 pm: 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

Post by: niceandclean on June 27, 2007, 10:10:05 pm: It will go into a bigger space, but its into a shed!
Title: Re: Static tanks
Post by: Clear Vision on June 27, 2007, 10:10:58 pm: cut the shed and re join it. Seriously! Or put a bigger door in?
Title: Re: Static tanks
Post by: niceandclean on June 27, 2007, 10:18:09 pm: 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
