Vertical water storage tanks

anbosu · Feb 21, 2018

I'd like to pick up a couple of vertical water storage tanks, preferably 100 gallons or so. Does anyone know where I could get some locally? Tractor Supply has 65 gallon vertical tanks, but I'd like to get something bigger without paying shipping if I can, since shipping is typically as much or more than the tanks themselves.

Tsc may be able to special order them

I bought a storage tank from Blain's Farm and Fleet. The periodically run sales with free shipping. They carry lots of different sizes....

If I can find a free shipping deal with them that would be a good option - anyone else have any ideas?

Most of the shipping is high but I think you might be able to find a place you could pick one up take a look at this

About the only thing that I've found that was affordable (after shipping) and of a decent size is this:

I just ordered two for about $165 shipped. I would have liked something slightly larger, but can definitely make due with this for now. I can't easily get something larger from a store myself, shipping was about my only option.

Protank Memphis Plastic Water Storage Tanks and
National Tank Outlet both are the closes I've found thinking going there one day

I've been really surprised, I've spent a decent amount of google time on this and I can't seem to find something close to Nashville. Thanks for the heads up on that site, they at least have a little cheaper shipping than some of the other options.

Same place I was thinking of too. They have lots of different sizes and 1 location is located in Clarksville, Tn and 1 is located in Muscle Shoals, Al. I could help with picking up a large quantity if need be with an enclosed trailer.

Unfortunately, the individual stores don't often carry a large selection of tanks in them, if at all. It's been a long while since I've been to the one in Clarksville, but I used to live about 5 miles from it, and they tended to have a few very large ones in the parking lot, but that was it.

Of course, they may be able to arrange delivery of several to a store, but I don't know that it'll be much cheaper than having them shipped to your house.

Just an FYI. I'd hate for someone to drive a few hours expecting to have a variety and be disappointed.

I agree i live in clarksville 40 gallon tank are easy but when you need 65 or 100 thats when you have problems.

I purchased two of these back on January 20th and have yet to receive them. I inquired with CS and was told they are on backorder and set to ship in the first full week of March. So...a long wait but shipping was free and I liked the idea of the rectangular tanks for a cleaner, space saving look.

Here's the one I got. I think someone here on Reef2Reef posted that they were running free shipping (which they do periodically) and I jumped on it.

I also use these, but Wal-Mart usually has them as well.

Ya if they free shipping to the house that would be best. Just figured I'd offer if someone needed to drive to get them. And yes a drive to Clarksville and they not have anything would suck.

Those look nicer than the 44s I ordered. I apparently missed them when poking around. Going to see if they can change my order to these. Thanks!
