About This Installation

There are numerous ways to create a new tank or fix existing water tanks using vinyl tank liners. This example shows the construction of a wooden tank which holds water using a beaded tank liner made from potable white vinyl. You may notice that the long walls are reinforced against the outward water pressure by pieces of steel conduit running through the middle of two PVC pipes in the tank. This provides structural reinforcement and prevents the water and steel from touching.
