My new 2600 gallon plywood tank project

Mid-day update.

Finished the joists and started laying out the walls. Second picture is the first run for the walls and it's not attach yet in the picture.

More later today. Going to get the plywood down on the bottom of the tank and build the walls up from there.

Your a fricken machine when you do your builds. I look at how many cuts you make the same and only see a screw shooter and a circular saw and wonder how you do it so fast keeping everything accurate.

Final update for today.

Tonight I had a hand with the walls and we got 14.5" up the walls. The walls are pretty easy to shake and flex, so I am not 100% sure I like this method yet. Going to block the back and give it some support against the walls with some scrap treated wood just to be safe. I know once the plywood & 4x4s are on the top the flex will stop but I dont think a standard wall would have flexed that much. Also going to be adding an additional layer on the bottom of 3/4" ply just to be on the safe side then will use 1/2" ply on the walls.

More tomorrow!

Oh and I am on vacation this week which is why this is going so fast. It will slow down again on Monday. Hopefully by then we will be starting the pond armor.
