Round Galvanized Water Tanks for Livestock
Choose a round galvanized stock tank by its diameter, depth and steel construction. The options on this page include shallow 1-foot tanks and 2-foot tanks, with capacities listed from 48 to 1,122 gallons. A round tank provides an open watering area that can be approached from different sides when the surrounding layout allows.
Start with the animals that will use the tank, the available watering space and the way you will refill it. Compare rim height with animal reach, and allow room around the tank for access and routine cleaning. Tank capacity is one part of the watering plan alongside refill rate and daily water use.

Hastings sizes are nominal, and tanks are nested in slightly different sizes for shipment. If your installation has a fixed opening or limited clearance, confirm the actual dimensions of the supplied tank before ordering.
Understand the Steel Gauge Choices
Hastings Black Label tanks use 20-gauge G90 galvanized steel for both the sidewalls and bottom. Green Label tanks use 22-gauge sidewalls with a 20-gauge bottom. This distinction helps you compare the two options accurately when selecting a tank.
Plan Your Watering Area and Delivery
Measure the space for the tank and the access route used to place it. Consider how you will reach the drain and remove water during cleaning, as well as access for the hose or water supply. Choose the diameter and depth together so the tank fits both the site and the animals' reach.
