12x8x4 Plywood Build (Help and Advice)

[xApostle]

Hi!

For some reason, i can't access my previous thread. Its there on the lists but when i click on it, it just comes up saying page does not exist.

I am in need of experienced help!!

After much deliberation, i decided to scrap the idea of 3 several tanks and just go for 1 12x8x4.

Most probably, i'm just going to go for the pond Armour option in terms of water proofing, My question is, what plywood would be better? So far im leaning towards the wbp hardwood but ive also seen structural softwood. In your opinions, what would you go for?

Thanks in advance!

Depends on your thickness of ply wood and how far your spacing of studs is?

It's difficult to say atm, I'm literally in the planning stages. I'm also looking into concrete blocks with cement and a sealer as a possible option as I can get the blocks for crazy cheap

So long as your blocks are all strong together it is a better option in my opinion you just lose a bit of tank size inside the tank
