Hey guys,

I was trying to find some information out, and just stumbled across your website. I am just curious, how much weight could your 40 ft. storage container withstand from above. We are wanting to put two 40 ft storage containers(side by side) under the ground, then build a deck ontop (6 inches of concrete, reinforced with rebar), and then put an over the ground pool ontop of that, (which hold about 3000 gallons of water.)Thanks for your help,

-John

If you want to use tank to store rain water then you can install it at the top of the roof. It will be cheaper. You can hire roofer for this work. But if you want to store ground water then underground tank is best option. The size of the tank could be according to your need i.e the quantity of water you want to save.
