For Waiheke Island homes, rural properties and high-capacity rainwater storage needs ( 25-100,000 litres+) , a timber tank is a smart, sustainable and practical choice.
Many Waiheke sites are sloped, remote or difficult to access, making large plastic or concrete tank delivery challenging. Timber tanks are assembled onsite in their permanent position, allowing components to be carried into tighter locations with less disruption to the natural landscape.
Made from treated pine and built with a protective food grade liner, the water does not touch the wood, helping keep drinking water fresh while maintaining a more eco-friendly structure. Timber also provides natural thermal insulation, helping reduce temperature fluctuations that can affect stored rainwater.
Sustainability is another major advantage. Around one tonne of milled timber can hold approximately 1.7 tonnes of atmospheric CO2, or a 30,000 litre wooden tank structure holds 4.5 tonnes of atmospheric carbon. making timber tanks a lower-impact option.
While more expensive than plastic tanks, for lifestyle blocks, larger homes, rural sites or fire water storage, timber tanks offer strength, capacity and a naturally beautiful finish.
