    Just remember it's not a proper job until you've flooded your garage or shed etc

    Good luck

    Well it's been happening to me for the last few days ever since I filled up the system

    If I get any more I might just jump into the tank and drown myself, assuming the water will stay in the tank long enough that is

    So first full and first drain down gutted. One of the walls is going to be a weak spot. So maybe go down twhite route and make a frame to hold wieght back off the walls

    Looking like a frame is the way to go to be safe AJ... I'd prob save a couple of quid and use 4x2 rather than 4X4 though, then build a complete frame in the manner you'd build a stud wall (so the 4" section is giving you the strength against the pushing forces) , build it nice and tight up to your walls so both wall and frame are sharing the loads, then line with ply or osb. It'll only take ya a morning so don't get despondent

    Looking at pop up vats to fit but crap gallon wise as only 600mm high. So frame work it is.
