Water tanks and water tank stands are often purchased together; some tank stands are built from scratch on site while others can be bought in kit form and bolted together. Not all steel water tank stands are equal and from a safety point of view as well as the tank stand’s longevity, there are some important things to consider.
Having decided that a tank stand is required, there are a few options – tank stands can be made from timber, brick or steel; we recommend steel tank stands as these have the most predictable load-bearing qualities which can be precisely calculated.
Whether the steel tank stand is fabricated from scratch or bought I kit form, here are some questions that one should ask about the steel tank stand before purchasing:
These are just some of the questions that should be asked before spending money on what is usually a relatively big financial investment (steel tank stands will normally cost more than water tanks).
