Horizontal Leg Tanks are for storage and are not to be pressurized.
 
This 65 gallon water storage tank brings space-efficient engineering to properties where footprint matters. The horizontal leg configuration allows placement in crawl spaces, under decks, or alongside structures where height clearance is limited. At just 29.5 inches tall with a 39-inch length, this unit fits through standard doorways and accesses tight installation areas that larger capacity models cannot reach. The stable leg design eliminates the need for additional support platforms, making setup straightforward for homeowners and contractors alike.
 
The green polyethylene construction provides natural blending with landscaping while maintaining the same structural integrity found in industrial-grade applications. Unlike metal alternatives that corrode over time, this 65 gallon horizontal tank maintains its performance characteristics throughout years of exposure to varying weather conditions. The molded legs distribute weight evenly across the footprint, preventing ground pressure points that can cause settling or instability in softer soil conditions.
 
Practical Applications Beyond Basic Storage
 
While many consider this a simple 65 gallon tank for water storage, the versatility extends into specialized uses that require reliable containment. Emergency preparedness enthusiasts appreciate the manageable size that provides substantial reserves without overwhelming residential spaces. Off-grid cabin owners integrate these tanks into rainwater collection systems where modest capacity meets seasonal demand patterns. The 8-inch lid opening accepts standard plumbing fittings, enabling integration with filtration systems, pump assemblies, or gravity-fed distribution networks.
 
Agricultural applications include livestock watering stations for smaller operations, irrigation reserves for greenhouse facilities, and mixing vessels for organic fertilizer preparations. The 140°F maximum temperature rating accommodates warm water from solar collectors during summer months, expanding functionality beyond cold storage scenarios. Contractors frequently deploy these units as temporary water supplies at construction sites where municipal connections remain unavailable during initial project phases.

Frequently Asked Questions
 
What's the difference between this horizontal tank and vertical water storage tanks?
Horizontal models like this 65 gallon tank excel in low-profile installations where ceiling height or visual impact concerns exist. Vertical water storage tanks maximize capacity in smaller floor spaces but require adequate overhead clearance. This horizontal design offers superior stability in mobile applications and easier access to the top opening for maintenance tasks.
 
Can this tank handle freezing temperatures?
The polyethylene material tolerates freeze-thaw cycles without cracking when proper winterization occurs. However, allowing water to freeze solid inside any tank creates expansion pressure that may cause damage. Drain the tank completely in freezing climates or maintain insulation to keep contents above 32°F.
 
How do I determine if 65 gallons meets my requirements?
Calculate daily usage and desired reserve duration. A 65 gallon water tank provides approximately two days of water for a family of four in emergency scenarios, assuming one gallon per person per day for drinking and basic sanitation. For irrigation, consider plant water requirements and frequency of rainfall in your region.
 
What maintenance does this poly tank require?
Annual inspections should verify the integrity of the molded structure, check fitting connections for leaks, and ensure the lid seal remains secure. Clean the interior every 2-3 years by draining completely and rinsing with a mild bleach solution, then flushing thoroughly before refilling.
