i was thinking that if a rubber pond liner can be glued to a old earthmover tire, it may make a good tank. take a discarded large tire from heavy earth moving and cut the sidewall from one side, make this the top. then glue heavy pondliner to the inside of the tire on the bottom. may be easy to get a old tire, as it cost money for them to be thrown out. a scraper tire is 8 feet tall and almost 3 feet wide.

I know there's someting on the market called 'self-vulcanising tape' that's used to "glue" rubber, but I'm not sure if you can use that to glue it to an old tire.

I guess I'm showing my age, but the last time I patched an inner tube we used an adhesive that we set on fire before we put on the patch. 8) I know that now a days the auto/tire shops use some sort of adhesive that you don't have to set on fire. If the pond liner is the same material as the tire I don't know why it wouldn't work. But, if the formualtion is different and doesn't use the same sort of patching adhesives then you might end up just having to line the inside of the tire with the pond liner and then secure it around the top edges with plywood and deck screws until the "trank" is filled with water. I was thinking about doing the same thing with pre-cast concrete culvert sections or septic tank rings. I was thinking of setting them on a base of gravel with sand over it, like the underlayment for a paver patio. I thought about setting it up so I could run plumbing underneath the pond liner with a drain line to allow the water out by gravity flow into the planter beds, and then use a pump to return it back to the tank.

Good idea on the possible recylcing idea. The only catch is most used tires are going back for recapping or shredding now, the one other source you might look to is the ones from jet aircraft. The ones used on the large cargo and passenger planes are almost as large as the ones from the earth movers, but the DOT is more strict on them being recapped. (Due to the amount of heat and friction they take during landings the DOT will not allow them to be recapped. Blow out problems.)

Well, take care, and let us know how this idea works out.

I've seen a thing done with old tyres to turn them into horse watering troughs.... got a pic around somewhere.....

Basically I think the tyre was turned inside out (don't know why?)...and then bottom was filled with concrete up past the wall...

Concrete both sealed the bottom making it waterproof and weighted it down so the horse couldn't kick it over....

Make sense to any horsey people out there???
