GramLine manufactures a range of quality polyethylene water tanks. Our water tanks come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes to suit Australian backyards.
Thicker at the base tapering up to the dome top, no centre pole required on any of our tanks.
Not all tanks are the same
You may have read or heard other tank manufacturers claiming more ribs for strength, or the traditional look. However the truth of the matter is that in the rotational moulding process ribbed or corrugated designs actually create a weakness in the tank. This is due to the internal corners in the mould. When the plastic powder rotates in the mould it hits the peak of the rib and has a natural tendency to flow either side of the highest point of the corner creating thin sections in the tank wall on the internal corners.
Below are drawings of common tank wall cross sections. You can see the thinner wall sections at the internal corners of the ribs and corrugations. This is why ‘GramLine Tanks’ have a straight wall design and domed roof with no internal corners; this guarantees a uniform wall thickness with no weak points in our tanks.

Ensuring each tank has the correct wall thickness and meets both Australian standards and GramLine quality standards.
