Description

FenceTank is an innovative rainwater collection system designed to integrate seamlessly into a property’s fence line, saving space while maintaining an attractive appearance. It is made from durable, tank-grade plastic suitable for both potable water and stormwater use. Purpose-built for urban environments, FenceTank collects and stores rainwater efficiently without encroaching on yard space, providing a practical and discreet water-saving solution.

Available in three colours compatible with COLORSTEEL range.

Dimensions: 1,800mm (L) x 410mm (D) x 1,800mm (H)
Capacity: 1,000L per tank (joinable in series for greater volume)
Material: UV-stabilised, tank-grade polyethylene, potable-water safe
Installation: Attaches to standard fence posts or walls via optional Z-brackets

Key Features

Space-efficient integration: At only 410mm deep, FenceTank is one of the slimmest above-ground tanks available — perfect for tight urban sites and developments with limited yard or side access.
Discreet aesthetic: Designed to look like a fence, it eliminates the visual clutter of bulky plastic tanks and exposed pipework, maintaining clean architectural lines.
Seamless boundary placement: Mounted directly to fence posts, FenceTank sits within boundary lines, preserving valuable outdoor space for landscaping or useable areas.
Hidden infrastructure: All pipework is contained within the tank ends, allowing for a minimalist, architecturally clean finish.
Scalable modular system: Tanks can be joined together to meet project water storage or detention requirements (e.g. three tanks = 5.4 lineal metres).
Compliance-ready: Suitable for potable or stormwater reuse systems, enabling flexible specification in sustainable design and WSUD (Water Sensitive Urban Design) applications.
Ease of installation: No need for heavy machinery or complex supports—simple concrete footing and coach screw attachment system minimises on-site construction effort.
Design flexibility: Available in three standard colours (with custom colours available for larger orders), allowing coordination with exterior palettes or fencing materials. Optional colour matched end panels and caps available.

Scope of Use

Urban rainwater harvesting: Designed for efficient collection and storage of roof runoff in medium to high density residential and commercial sites.
Stormwater detention and reuse: Can be configured for detention, retention, or dual-use systems to meet council WSUD and sustainability requirements.
Potable and non-potable systems: Suitable for drinking water, irrigation, toilet flushing, or laundry reuse applications.

Ideal for:

Space-constrained developments: Ideal for narrow sites, townhouses, and infill housing where traditional tanks are impractical.
Boundary integration: Installed along fence lines or walls to maximise site usability while maintaining visual harmony.
Aesthetic water storage: Provides hidden water storage that complements modern architectural design without compromising outdoor space.
Retrofit and new-builds: Easy to specify in both new developments and existing property upgrades due to simple, modular installation.

Statement of Building Code Compliance

B1.3.1: The FenceTank has a low probability of rupturing, becoming unstable or loosing equilibrium provided it has been installed in line with the structural design.
B1.3.2: The FenceTank has a low probability of causing a loss of amenity through undue deformation, vibratory response, degradation provided it has been installed in line with the structural design.
B1.3.3 (a), (b), (c), (e), (f), (h), (j), (m) & (q): The installation of the FenceTank complies with the clause provided the requirements of our structural design are followed for its installation.
B2.3.1 (b): The FenceTank meets the minimum durability requirement of 15 years as it is moderately difficult to replace.
G12.3.2 (c): The components used for the construction of the system, including the grade of the plastic used in the construction of the FenceTank, will not contaminate the water.
G12.3.3: A non-potable system used for personal hygiene (laundry) will not cause injury or illness because of the tank system or the products used in its installation.
F2.3.1: The FenceTank meets this requirement and will not present a health hazard to people.
