Transform your garden into a multi-functional oasis with Hastings Stock Tanks – the Nebraska-crafted, galvanised steel wonders redefining outdoor living. At Outdoor Iconic, we champion these versatile tanks for their rugged durability, timeless design, and adaptability to British gardens. Whether you’re crafting a wellness retreat, a child-friendly play zone, or a sustainable garden feature, discover why Hastings tanks are 2025’s must-have investment.
Hastings tanks are engineered for longevity, making them ideal for the UK’s unpredictable climate:
G90 Galvanised Steel: Rust-resistant through chemical treatment, ensuring years of use without corrosion.
4-Ply Locked Seams: Reinforced seams with integrated sealants prevent leaks, even under heavy use.
Crush-Proof Design: A 22mm steel pipe rim adds structural stability, resisting dents and warping.
Weight & Portability: Lightweight yet sturdy (e.g., 6ft oval: 31kg), allowing easy repositioning.
Why It Matters: Built to handle everything from livestock crowding to enthusiastic kids, these tanks develop a beautiful patina over time, blending rustic charm with industrial resilience.
Ice Baths: Accelerate muscle recovery in summer or embrace cold-water therapy year-round. The 5ft–7ft round tanks (e.g., 1,064L capacity) fit 1–2 adults comfortably.
Hot Tubs & Paddling Pools: Add a wood-fired heater (warranty included) for cosy soaks, or let kids splash safely in shallow oval models.
Raised Planters: Grow herbs, vegetables, or flowers in 2ft-deep tanks. Excellent drainage prevents waterlogging.
Ponds & Wildlife Habitats: Create mini-ecosystems with water lilies or barley straw (chemical-free algae control).
Livestock Watering: Originally designed for farms, these tanks withstand animal wear while providing clean water.
Outdoor Showers & Fire Pits: Customise with hose attachments or convert into a chic fire bowl.
Outdoor Iconic offers bespoke options to match your style:
Colours & Patterns: Upgrade from classic galvanised steel to matte black, forest green, or floral wraps.
Practical Add-Ons:
Insulated cedar lids or thermal covers for heat retention.
Hose attachments for easy draining via the 19mm zinc-coated plug.
Sustainable Materials: Galvanised steel has a lower carbon footprint than plastic and is fully recyclable.
Easy Care: Rinse with a hose to prevent residue; avoid harsh chemicals to preserve the coating. Minor scratches add rustic character.
Chemical-Free Water Care: Use barley straw for natural algae management – safe for plants, pets, and wildlife.
Space Efficiency: Compact oval tanks (e.g., 6ft x 2.5ft) fit small patios, while round 7ft models suit sprawling gardens.
Year-Round Use: Withstand frost, UV exposure, and heavy rain without degradation.
Cost-Effective: One tank serves multiple roles – eliminating the need for separate pools, planters, or tubs.
Drainage: Place on level ground; use gravel for stability. Unscrew the plug for quick emptying.
Winter Prep: Cover or store upside down to prevent ice damage (though tanks tolerate freezing temps).
Child & Pet Safety: Smooth edges prevent injuries – perfect for paddling pools or dog baths.
Curated Range: From 3ft compact models to 7ft statement pieces.
Free UK Delivery: Speedy mainland shipping with 30-day returns.
Expert Support: Get personalised advice on tank selection, customisation, and setup.
