Wooden Water Cisterns

REAL PEOPLE - NOT "BUY IT" BUTTONS

Our hard to find cedar cisterns are the real thing. Made with traditional cooperage methods. The craftsmanship that goes into the construction of each cistern is second to none. Every cistern is pre-assembled to ensure that the fit is perfect, and then knocked-down for shipping to you.

Rainwater harvesting has been happening for centuries.*People have relied on rainwater harvesting to supply water for household, landscape, livestock, and agricultural uses.

Rainwater has been collected from roofs and stored on site in tanks known as cisterns. With the development of large, reliable water treatment and distribution systems and more affordable well drilling equipment, rain water storage systems have been all but forgotten, even though they offer a source of pure, soft, low sodium water.

A renewed interest in this time-honored approach has emerged in Texas and elsewhere due to:
1.the escalating environmental and economic costs of providing water by centralized water systems or by well drilling;
2. health benefits of rainwater;
3. potential cost savings associated with rainwater collection systems;

Traditional cooperage wooden water cisterns, designed to compliment any landscape, you get both beauty and function.

Construction

All of our cisterns are made of only the finest top quality, 1 5/8" thick, kiln dried, 100% heartwood Western Red Cedar. The hoops are made from long lasting stainless steel flat bar. All the hardware is corrosion proof.

Our wooden water tanks have custom made; heavy 25 mil flexible plastic liners, with a life span of 20 years when properly maintained. These liners are drinking water approved.

 The cisterns are offered with an optional modular roof design that are easily transported and installed.

Advantages

They can be easily shipped in a pickup truck or a boat to remote locations. Two people can carry and setup the numbered pieces, even on rock bluffs and uneven ground.

Unlike conventional plastic tanks which are an eyesore our Cisterns are attractive structures which add beauty and value to your landscape.

Superior strength construction, and that will last a lifetime. The Western Red Cedar will not deteriorate from UV radiation like plastic does.
