oh dont get me wrong, the metal racking on piers are the better bet, but wood can work

you could fit "shiplap" or "T&G" board around it all and have a shed


oh and i forget to add, fix it all together with galv bolts with large washers

you can buy IBC's that come in a metal frame, these stack easy enough

AND

might be cheaper to buy 4 of them, as the wood will be pricey, you can even cut a hole as a door in the bottom 1 to store stuff in

The ibc's we use aren't designed to be stacked when full. Hazardous practice IMO.

Or make some shuttering and fill with concrete if you not very good at blockwork. Might have to do it in a few stages though.

Trouble is that I am in The Netherlands and despite this not being that far the U.K shipping rates ar horrendous.

Go to a fabricator and have a simple one knocked up, let them know what weight is involved and it shouldn't cost you a fortune either.
The frame work should incude a strong base for the tank to sit on the base can be made from some strong timbers fitted to the steel frame.
