When it comes to choosing a rainwater tank, Victoria is spoilt for choice.

From poly rainwater tanks to Aquaplate corrugated steel varieties and concrete options, our experienced team at R & F Building Industries has the tank to suit your needs and budget.

But selecting a tank can be bewildering because of the huge range on offer. So how do you narrow down your selection before making a final choice? Talking to tank experts – such as us – is a great way to make a quality choice that’s perfect for your situation, whether you’re on a farm or in a city.

When buying a tank, you need to consider factors including:

  • What size tank do you need? With tanks ranging from 200 litres to over 200,000 litres, there are lots of options out there.
  • What do you aim to use the stored water for? If it’s to water your small suburban garden, you might only need a tank that holds a few thousand litres. If you need it to supply water to your entire house, the tank size will be much bigger.
  • How much water will you actually need? An individual will need less water than a large family so that can impact on your tank choice too. And if it’s to hold water for stock or other agricultural uses, you’ll need to get your sums right so your supply doesn’t run out and negatively impact your business.
  • How much space you have. You might need a slimline model to fit snugly against a house wall or fence if space is tight. Perhaps you need an underground concrete tank if you’ve hardly any back yard that’s not already being used or a large round model could be perfect if there’s plenty of room.
  • Your region’s annual rainfall.
  • The size of your collection area.
  • Your location. For example, if you’re in a bushfire-prone area, then a concrete tank might be the best performer when it comes to fire resistance.
  • And your budget.

Don’t let this collection of questions put you off. At R & F Building Industries, we’re happy to help you navigate the options on offer so you end up with a rainwater tank in Victoria that suits your needs, situation and budget perfectly.
