Although it doesn't feel like it at the moment, we are soon going to be hitting the dry season, and it's predicted to be one of the coldest driest winters yet this year. Rain water storage tankers (commonly known by the brand of 'Jojo' tanks) come in many different sizes and colours and are used commercially and domestically.
Most domestic tankers are vertical and are used to supplement a house's water supply. One of the most common uses is so garden's can still be watered when it is dry without wasting clean (expensive) water from the taps. A lot of these tankers can be attached to a gravity feed to eliminate the need for pumps, but to do this they need to be raised.
You can buy pre-made stands that are quite pricey, but custom-made stands can be made with bricks and cement, they are much cheaper and can be painted and plastered to match your building. They are also more eco-friendly compared to pre-made stands as they require less energy to make and the materials can often be sourced locally.
The picture is of one we recently made for one of our environmentally conscious customers.
