Tank material Galvanised Steel

Tall galv, old-school proportions

A 2310mm tall tank on a 1240mm footprint has the silhouette of the traditional farm tower tank. In galv it reads like it’s always been there. Against weatherboard, corrugated shed cladding, or bush backdrop the silver grey patina does its own work. No colour choice, no fading concerns, no paint edge where the tank meets the shed wall.

Zinc reaction not zinc coating

Galvanising forms a metallurgical bond with the steel. Scratches and knocks don’t start rust runs the way they can on painted tanks. If you use the block (and use it with vehicles, equipment, or stock) galv takes the knocks better than a smooth coated finish does.

Potable-compliant inside

The traditional galv exterior hides an internal polymer lining. Water never touches the zinc. AS/NZS 4020 certified for drinking water. No taste of metal, no chance of rust pitting leaching through the liner.

Where this shape fits

1240mm across, 2310mm tall. The tallest tank on the 1240mm footprint. Suits narrow block positions, side-of-house setups, or any site where the width is locked in but the height can go up. Same 1240mm pad as the 930L (770mm) and 1,850L (1550mm), for buyers choosing shape-at-capacity.

Payment Information

We accept VISA, Mastercard, Google and Apple Pay.

How long will it take to arrive?

Most tanks reach your block within two weeks of order. Every tank is made in Tasmania and delivered direct, so there’s no mainland freight wait. If you’ve got a critical date (plumber booked, build sign-off, certifier inspection), let us know at order time and we’ll flag any timing risk

Do you install the tank or sort the plumbing?

No. We deliver to your block and unload. Connecting it to your downpipe, pump, and house plumbing is a job for your plumber. On a new build the plumber usually has the inlet, outlet, and overflow rough-in ready before the tank arrives.

Do I need council approval to install a water tank?

For most rural and residential properties in Tasmania, a standalone rainwater tank doesn’t need council approval. Larger tanks, elevated tanks on stands, and tanks in heritage zones can have local rules, so a quick check with your council before you order is worth the five minutes. Fire fighting tanks tied to a building permit are usually approved as part of the build itself.

Can I pick the colour?

Yes. Most ranges come in 22+ Colorbond colours so you can match a roof, fascia, fence, or pick something that disappears into the bush. Use the colour picker on the product page. The live colour shows on the 3D tank view so you can see exactly how it’ll look before you check out.

What if I order the wrong size or change my mind?

Get in touch as soon as you can. If the tank hasn’t begun manufacturing, we may be able to change the tank colour or size. Unfortunately, once manufacturing starts (as all tanks are custom-made), we can’t accept returns.
