Garden Watering Poly Tanks - 1250 Gallon

[reddeerguy2015]

Hey guys,

Wanted to setup some large water tanks for the wife's garden this year. We're on an acreage and our well won't keep up, so figured we'd find a couple 1250 gallon tanks and fill them slowly from the house (using an aqua timer spread throughout the day).

Anyone know where I can pick a couple of these up for cheap??

What else is everyone using for their watering setup??

Look for Ibc tanks and you can get the Buttress threads adapter to normal threads from global industrial

S60x6 is the threads on one that looks about 2 inch. Available as a garden house adapter or to 2" threads found commonly

Give Peavey Mart a check first. Maybe save a few dollars.

You'd be well served to collect rain water from an eavestrough, my neighbour has eavestrough going to a 1,000 gallon tank from the roof on one side of his house and it doesn't take much rain to fill it even on juat a small bungalow like his.

That is what I have. Two tanks, one collecting from the house and one collecting from detached garage. Two submersible pumps that I have got for free and I can water our garden and grass.
