Made nearly the same way for 80 years, our tanks have the look and feel of a true Texas cistern and are perfectly suited for collecting and storing rainwater or for potable water use. You can choose between galvanized or stainless steel, and our tanks range from 90 to 4400 gallons, with custom sizes available. By the side of your house or elevated on a platform your tank will look awesome and stand up to the heat and hot Texas sun too. 

From urban backyards to rural ranches, our rain capture tanks provide a reliable way to store water and protect your water supplies year-round. Whether you’re setting up a complete rainwater harvesting system or simply want to collect rainwater for your garden, Texas Metal Tanks delivers rugged, sustainable solutions. 

How much water can you collect?

1 inch of rain per 1,000 square feet collects 600 gallons of water.

Rule of thumb: Plan your rainwater collection system to hold a 2”- 3” rain event.

Find the tank that’s right for you.

What size tank do you need? What are you using the water for?

Your water tank choice depends on your rainwater collection application—irrigation, drinking water, or backup storage.

These tanks are handcrafted one at a time, using some of the original machinery.
