10 Gauge Bottomless Stock Tank
Hastings 10 Gauge Bottomless Stock Tanks provide the large capacity required for demanding livestock-watering applications. Unlike a conventional one-piece stock tank, each tank is supplied in curved galvanized-steel panels that are assembled at the prepared installation site. This allows much larger tanks to be installed where transporting a fully assembled tank would be impractical.
Choose from 15', 20', 25', or 30' diameters and depths of 26" or 33". A bottomless tank requires proper site preparation and a watertight base or lining system. Delivery does not include site preparation, assembly, sealing, plumbing, or installation unless these services are specifically arranged in writing.
Large-Capacity Livestock Watering Built for the Site
When a conventional stock tank is not large enough, a Hastings 10 Gauge Bottomless Stock Tank provides a practical solution for high-capacity livestock watering. Its panelled construction allows a tank with a much larger diameter to be transported to the property and assembled directly at the installation site.
These tanks are manufactured from heavy-duty galvanized steel for agricultural use. Once correctly assembled on a properly prepared and sealed base, the tank creates a durable watering system suitable for larger herds and demanding farm operations.
Available Sizes
Choose the combination that best suits your livestock, property, and water-supply requirements:
- Diameters: 15', 20', 25', or 30'
- Depths: 26" or 33"
- Material: 10-gauge galvanized steel
- Brand: Hastings
The selected diameter and depth affect the tank’s capacity, installation requirements, water demand, and required site area. Confirm that the intended location has adequate space and access before ordering.
Why Choose a Bottomless Stock Tank?
A bottomless tank differs from a traditional stock tank because it does not have a factory-installed steel bottom. Instead, the galvanized sidewall is supplied in curved panels and assembled on a prepared base at the property.
This design offers several advantages:
- Much larger diameters than conventional pre-built stock tanks
- Panelled construction for easier transportation to the installation site
- High-capacity watering for larger livestock operations
- Multiple diameter and depth combinations
- Heavy-duty construction designed for agricultural environments
- On-site assembly where moving a fully built tank would be impractical
The Bottom Must Be Prepared and Sealed
This product does not have a manufactured bottom. Creating a stable, watertight base is an essential part of the installation.
Depending on the property, intended use, soil conditions, and local requirements, the water barrier may use a properly designed concrete base, bentonite-clay sealing system, or suitable heavy-duty watertight liner. The correct method must be determined before installation.
The installation site should be:
- Firm, stable, and properly prepared
- Large enough for the selected tank diameter
- Accessible for delivery and assembly
- Suitable for the chosen sealing method
- Located with appropriate drainage and overflow management
- Within reach of the planned water-supply system
Site conditions vary. Obtain qualified local advice when determining the appropriate base, sealing system, drainage, and water connection for your installation.
Assembly and Installation
Bottomless tanks require more preparation and assembly than conventional stock tanks. Installation generally involves preparing and levelling the site, assembling the steel panels, securing the panel connections, creating the watertight bottom, and connecting the required water-supply and overflow components.
Unless specifically included in a written quotation, the purchase price and delivery service do not include:
- Excavation or site preparation
- Concrete, bentonite, liners, or other bottom-sealing materials
- Tank assembly or installation
- Trenching or water-line installation
- Plumbing, valves, or water-control equipment
- Electrical service
- Levelling, landscaping, or drainage work
- Filling or commissioning the completed tank
Arrange the necessary labour, equipment, materials, and qualified trades before installation begins.
Plan Before You Order
A bottomless stock tank is a substantial agricultural installation. Before ordering, confirm:
- The required tank diameter and depth
- The available installation area
- Delivery access for the tank panels and equipment
- The proposed base and sealing method
- Water-source capacity and refill requirements
- Plumbing and water-control requirements
- Drainage and overflow management
- Local permits or other applicable requirements
- Who will prepare, assemble, seal, and connect the tank
Do not schedule contractors or dependent work until product availability, delivery arrangements, and the final tank specifications have been confirmed.
Delivery Across Canada
Stock Tanks Canada provides specialized delivery throughout Ontario and can arrange third-party freight to many other Canadian destinations. Delivery method and cost depend on the selected size, destination, site access, and required equipment.
Because these are oversized products, some orders may require an individual delivery quotation. Contact us before ordering if the property has narrow roads, limited turning space, gates, overhead obstructions, soft ground, steep grades, or other access restrictions.
Need Help Choosing a Size?
Contact Stock Tanks Canada before ordering if you need assistance comparing sizes or planning delivery. Please provide the intended use, livestock requirements, preferred diameter and depth, delivery address, and information about access to the installation site.
Bottomless stock tanks are made for installations that require careful planning. Confirming the product, site, sealing method, water supply, and delivery requirements in advance will help the project proceed smoothly.
