I’ve had this stock tank set up on our property in regional NSW for a few months now and couldn’t be happier. The build quality is solid, it handles the Aussie weather perfectly, and it was easy to install. The cattle took to it straight away. Great value for money and built tough — exactly what you want on a working farm.

Questions & Answers
Q: Can I use this as a hot tub?
A: Yes. The galvanised steel is incredibly durable and handles heat exceptionally well for wood-fired or electric heating.
Q: Is the metal going to get hot in summer?
A: No. Hundreds of litres of water act as a giant heat sink. Even in 40°C heat, your water stays stabilized and the steel rim remains warm to the touch.
Q: Do I need a permit?
A: Requirements vary by location. Most councils have specific safety rules regarding water vessels. We always recommend checking your local guidelines before installation.
Q: What is the return policy?

Frequently Asked Questions
Short answer: eventually, yes.
Honest answer: not something most people deal with anytime soon.
These are galvanised steel tanks originally made to sit out in paddocks in the US, holding water for cattle year-round. Rain, sun, mud… they’re built for it.
So in a backyard setup, they’re already operating in pretty easy conditions.
That said, like anything metal + water:
- Leave water untreated and you’ll speed things up
- Keep it clean and you’ll get years out of it
Want to completely remove the worry?
Add a pool liner and you won’t have to think about rust at all. That’s what most people end up doing for peace of mind.
Long enough that you’re not replacing this anytime soon.
Remember, these are designed to sit in open paddocks in the US, full of water for livestock, year after year.
So as a backyard plunge pool, it’s an easy life.
What affects lifespan:
- Water maintenance
- Whether you use a liner
- General care
Typical expectation:
- Without a liner, years of solid use
- With a liner, even longer with extra protection
Most people are surprised how durable they actually are once they understand what they were built for.
You can, and this is where things get interesting.
Add a heater and suddenly it’s not just a summer pool, it’s a year-round setup.
- 🔥 Wood-fired, more of an experience
- ⚡ Electric, simple and consistent
- 🔥 Gas, heats fast
A lot of people start out thinking “just a plunge pool”…
Then realise sitting in hot water on a cold night is hard to beat.
In most cases, yes.
If it holds 300mm or more of water, it’s classified as a pool under Australian regulations.
That includes stock tanks.
The good news:
We’ve already done the hard part for you.
- Step-by-step approval guide
- Engineering certificate
- Clear direction on what’s required
So instead of trying to decode council rules, you just follow the process.
Most people find it way more straightforward than they expected.
No, but do it properly once and you’re set.
The tank itself is simple. The main thing that matters is a solid, level base.
Typical setup:
- Level the ground
- Add crushed rock (blue metal)
- Place the tank
- Connect your pump
That’s it.
Most customers either:
- DIY it over a weekend, or
- Get a landscaper to handle the base
We give you a step-by-step guide so you’re not guessing.
Short answer: no, it’s not going to burn you.
These tanks are made from galvanised steel, which doesn’t trap heat the same way darker, dense materials do. It reflects a lot of heat rather than absorbing and holding onto it.
The bigger factor though is the water itself.
A full tank of water acts as a natural temperature buffer. It takes a lot of energy to heat up a large volume of water, so it stays relatively stable even on hot days.
What that means in real life:
- The water doesn’t suddenly turn hot
- The metal edge isn’t scorching to touch
- It feels similar to any normal pool
If anything, most people are surprised it stays cooler than expected.
And if you want full control, it’s easy:
- Place it in partial shade
- Add timber cladding
- Use a cover when it’s not in use
Simple tweaks, but honestly, most people don’t find it an issue at all.
