Tire Water Tank Install | Simple Start to Finish Tutorial for Your Farm
What happens here
Use a backhoe (e.g., Woods BH100) or other heavy machinery to lift and precisely set the large, cut tire onto the compacted rock dust base. Ensure the tire is level and centered. Lay the prepared black poly pipe and assembled PVC structures (inlet riser with float valve stand, and the U-shaped drain pipe) into their respective trenches. Connect the water supply line to the float valve stand and the drain line to the U-shaped drain pipe. Partially backfill the trenches to stabilize the pipes, ensuring proper alignment before full burial. Use a tamper to compact the soil around the pipes.
Goal: Place the cut tire onto the prepared base and carefully install the assembled plumbing components within the trench and through the tire.
