In this video, Resident Builder Peter Wolfkamp takes you through the installation of our Fat Sam Under Deck Water Tank underneath the house. You'll see just how it is possible to maximise unused space for rainwater collection.
In this case, the recourse consent required 2000L of storm water detention, but this homeowner elected to include an additional water tank for rainwater harvesting. The Bailey Fat Sam Underdeck tank is the ideal solution for water storage that is tucked away out of sight. With a height of 700m, it is designed for compact spaces, making it ideal for installation under existing structures, conserving valuable garden space.
An additional benefit of installing this tank under the house is that rainwater is also collected from the deck. By maximising the collection space, this homeowner can ensure their tanks are reaching their full potential.
Peter also talks through the key features and benefits of the underdeck range. Available in two sizes, 2000 litres and 1,500 litres, with heights of 700mm and 550mm. They are also lightweight, only 75kg (1500L) or 85kg (2000L). Made from tough, UV-stabilised polyethylene, it’s built to last and ensuring your stored water stays clean and safe.
Because it’s tucked away out of sight, these tanks have minimal visual impact, preserving your outdoor living space. It’s ideal for collecting rainwater for irrigation, topping up pools, or as an emergency supply helping you cut down on water bills while making your home more sustainable.
Fat Sam has been designed to make light work of council requirements for stormwater retention. Multiple downpipe inlet and overflow positions are available on both sides and ends tank profile, which allows easy installation and connection of reduced flow orifices. Multiple tanks can be easily linked together where greater capacity is required.
Make use of the unused space in your home with a Bailey Fat Sam Underdeck tank or other urban water tanks.
