woodcisternHarvest Rainwater With A Wooden Water Storage Tank You Build Yourself.
Not satisfied with plastic or galvanized steel water storage tanks? Think the pre-made wooden tank kits are a little lacking in quality? You've come to the right place! This is the only guide available anywhere that shows you every step involved in constructing a traditionally built wooden water tank (or cistern) that will last you for many years.
With only a few common power and hand tools, you can make your own top quality, traditionally built wooden water tank that will be a source of pride for years to come. With this cistern, you will be able to easily harvest about 3,000 gallons (or another volume - you can customize the plans!) of precious rainwater for irrigation or other uses. Unlike off-the-shelf tanks, this attractive cistern is suitable for an urban environment.
I've spend many months assembling the information contained in this book, and sweated over every detail so you won't have to. There's even a section on expanding the design to other cistern sizes. I'm even including the actual SketchUp file I used to design the cistern!
The book contains dozens of high resolution pictures and illustrations (scroll to right of above picture for examples) of all aspects of building your own wooden water tank. Includes actual photos of the cistern being built and assembled You'll have a seat in my shop as I guide you through every step in the process. I cover everything you need in order to construct your own 3,000 gallon, or other size cistern, from selecting the lumber, to milling the parts, to assembling the cistern, to installing the piping - even the first flush diverter.
