Waterwall Fatboy Tank – Huge Rainwater Storage Vessels

By Dan (EnviroGadget Writer) on October 6th, 2009

Waterwall - Rainwater Tank

The amusingly named Fatboy Tank is a large water vessel designed for your garden to store an impressive 650 gallons of harvested rain water. The tanks only measure 7’6″ (2.29m) w x 6’7″ (2m) h x 2’4″ d (0.71m) and are designed to be free-standing on a level area of ground. The tank is made from a UV stabilised high density polyethylene, which means light does not penetrate the tanks and therefore prevents algae from growing inside the tanks.

The tanks come with a range of fixtures and fittings, namely two overflow pipes, three inlet sections, and two brass taps to allow you to get water out of the tank. The taps are around knee height, which means there is plenty of water pressure to force out the water down a hose. The tanks are available in four different colours, namely autumn brown, cream, brick red and deep green.

Unfortunately there is no pricing information on the website, but the manufacturer lists a number of distributors.

    They appear to be $1275 delivered. Looks like an interesting way to block off my dog from escaping the backyard between my house and fense. http://www.raintankdepot.com/productdetails.aspx?part=WWT-FBV010

    That is so cool Dan!! I’m going to have to try and find a place that I could put one of these though. They certainly put my rain barrel set up to shame!

    Rainwater tanks are a great idea- I keep telling everyone that they should start making their homes more eco-friendly. This one looks fantastic- thanks for sharing.
