Picking a water tank that suits your property
Not only are modern water tanks practical, reliable and affordable, they also also come in a wide variety of attractive shapes and sizes to suit the needs of any consumer.
If you're looking to tuck your water tank away, you might consider buying an under deck tank, or even an underground model. Not only will these tanks provide your property with a cheap supply of fresh and usable water, they'll also be out of sight and out of mind.
Even if you opt for a more visible above ground water tank, you have plenty of options when it comes to the appearance of your water tank.
Slimline water tanks, for example, are ideal for smaller properties, while larger round water tanks provide more storage space and could offer an interesting visual element if installed correctly.
There are a couple of other interesting tricks that you can use to make sure your water tank really stands out as an attractive garden feature. Here are some examples:
- Think about colour: The colour of your water tank will dictate how visible it is in your property. It's a good idea to try to match this colour as closely as possible with the surrounding environment. For example, if you are positioning your water tank near a grey fence, opt for a similar shade of grey.
- Use plants to your advantage: If you have a bit of a green thumb, then you could decorate your water tank with plants and shrubs to really make it stand out. A few well placed vines or a garden bed placed alongside your water tank can bring your property to life, and turn your water tank into an interesting backdrop for your flora.
- Plan ahead: A good reliable polyethylene water tank can last years, particularly if it is made from highly durable and stress crack resistant Alkatuff poly resin. With that in mind, make sure you plan ahead when installing your water tank and think about how your property might change or evolve in years to come.
