Hastings Bottomless Tanks for Livestock Watering

Hastings bottomless stock tanks assemble from galvanized steel wall sections to create a large livestock watering tank at the installation site. They can provide storage between refills in remote pastures when paired with an appropriate water supply and a properly prepared, watertight base.

Choose the diameter, wall height, and steel gauge for your herd, site, and delivery requirements. Confirm the exact dimensions and capacity of the selected model before ordering. The tank does not include a manufactured floor; site preparation and a suitable sealing system are part of the installation.

Tank Construction

  • 10-gauge or 12-gauge G90 galvanized steel options.
  • Rolled top hem and notched panel ends.
  • Lapped wall seams assembled with butyl sealing tape and double rows of bolts.
  • Wall-assembly hardware supplied with the tank; use the components and instructions specified for the selected model.

Correct seam preparation, assembly, and sealing are important to performance. Inspect the completed installation and address leaks before putting the tank into service.

Site Preparation and Sealing

Plan a level site, an appropriate supporting base, access for assembly, and a sealing method suitable for the soil and intended use. Obtain model-specific installation requirements from Hastings before beginning work.

Do not assume that a concrete base or soil treatment will remain watertight without proper design and installation. If considering a liner, confirm its dimensions, attachment method, material compatibility, and suitability for livestock watering. An ordinary swimming-pool liner should not be assumed compatible with this tank.

Water Supply and Maintenance

Plan storage capacity around herd demand, refill rate, and the reserve needed between refills. Windmill and solar-powered pumps can have variable output; the tank alone does not guarantee a continuous supply.

Check water levels, refill equipment, seams, and water cleanliness regularly. Include access for cleaning and maintenance in the site plan.

The bottomless stock tank installations are typically done by setting the walls in concrete or depending on the soil conditions by adding lime to create a bottom. There are liners available on the Sioux Steel bottomless tanks click here.

The liners are available for the Sioux Steel Bottomless Tanks (click here) but not the Hastings Bottomless Tanks (click here).

If you'd like a quote for the Sioux tank with liner, or any of the other tanks, please let us know and we'll be happy to forward one for your review.

There are three popular methods to seal the bottom of the tank:

1. Most common is likely by pouring a concrete bottom and setting the walls in it.

2. A poly liner: TheSioux Steel tanks have linersdesigned specifically for the tanks. It's a black, 36 mil liner with clams to hold it to the top of the walls. combination of 5-7mil black plastic, sand, and bentonite clay to create an artificial pond bottom (cheaper but more dirt work)

3. Customers with proper soil conditions and the ability to work the soil may mix lime, bentonite clay, etc to create a hardened and water-holding bottom for the tank. A contractor familiar with the local soil conditions should be consulted.
