Would this work if I welded 3 peices of 1/2 inch or 1/4 inch steel about 8 feet long and about 3 feet high. Then for the sides 3 foot wide and 3 feet high. Line the metal with pool liner or that stuff they use on those backyard ponds. Then cut a window into one of the 8 foot sections of steel and put a peice of plexi glass?
Steel Tank?

Yes, use thick enough plexy (should be cellcast acrylic) and a frame to seal it with.
Someone else is doing just this on here some where...search in here a little.

Wolf3101 I deadlift 505 and I am only a junior in highschool. If I can't lift the beast my buddies from the football team can help me.
make sure you get a pic of youor the football team lifitng that tank. If you are truly usig steel it will weigh a ton empty.
Yeah, no chance you are lifting 1/2 steel :shock: Even if you can lift it i doubt your floor can hold steel + 4500 pounds of water.
Construction will probaly take place in March when ice fishing is over. If the tank is over 1000 pounds then I will put it in my garage instead of my room.
The water itself will weight more than that.Bluegill;1049048; said:Construction will probaly take place in March when ice fishing is over. If the tank is over 1000 pounds then I will put it in my garage instead of my room.
Have you thought about plywood?
