Description

Reclaimed Galvanised Water Tank – Industrial Heritage Charm with Practical Utility

Add industrial character and functional style to your space with this reclaimed galvanised water tank, featuring robust riveted edges and time-earned patina. Whether you’re restoring a period outbuilding, styling a rustic garden, or looking for a standout planter or water feature base, this piece delivers both form and function.

Product Details:

Dimensions: 970mm (L) x 760mm (W) x 800mm (H)
Material: Heavy-duty galvanised steel
Features:
- Riveted edges for vintage industrial appeal
- Naturally aged surface with authentic wear
- Structurally sound and watertight (if required)
- Can be used as a water tank, planter, log store, feature piece, or repurposed for bespoke furniture

Why It Stands Out:
This tank isn’t mass-produced or off-the-shelf – it’s a genuine reclaimed item with a story and a tactile finish no new product can replicate. The rivet detailing and classic proportions give it a timeless utilitarian aesthetic that works in both indoor and outdoor settings.

Applications:

Garden water feature or trough
Large outdoor planter
Firewood or tool storage
Retail display or rustic interior element
Upcycled furniture or bar base

Slating Headlap

Lap

Expandable Headlap Info

Choosing Headlap

Definition: The vertical overlap between successive rows of tiles to prevent water ingress.

Factors to consider:

Roof pitch: Shallower pitches (< 30°) need 75–100 mm; steeper (> 45°) can use 50 mm.
Climate & exposure: Wind-driven rain or heavy rainfall zones benefit from more headlap.
Tile profile: Deeper tiles may require extra overlap to seal correctly.

Rule of thumb:

Standard (30–45°): 50–75 mm
Low (< 30°): 75–100 mm
High (> 45°): 50 mm

Slate Size / Type

Slate 50mm Lap

Selecting Tile Size

Coverage per tile: Larger tiles cover more area but are heavier, affecting handling and substrate load.

Aesthetic scale: Big tiles suit modern, minimal lines on large roofs; smaller tiles give more texture and a traditional look.

Structural limits: Check rafters and battens can support the chosen tile’s weight and fixing centres.

Installation speed vs. waste: Larger tiles lay faster but may require more cutting at edges, increasing waste. Smaller tiles take longer but can reduce off-cuts.

Compatibility: Ensure the tile size works with your chosen headlap & side-lap for correct coverage per m².

By balancing pitch, weather, substrate capacity and appearance, you’ll pick the optimal tile size for performance and style.

Slates Per m2

Expandable Slates per m² Info

Calculating Slates per m²

Definition: Number of slates needed to cover one square metre.

Formula: 1 000 000 mm² ÷ (effective width × effective height)

Where:

Effective width = tile width – side lap
Effective height = tile height – head lap

Example: 610 mm × 355 mm tile, 20 mm side lap, 75 mm head lap:

Effective width: 610 − 20 = 590 mm
Effective height: 355 − 75 = 280 mm
Area per slate: 590 × 280 = 165 200 mm²
Slates per m²: 1 000 000 ÷ 165 200 ≈ 6.05

Adjust your headlap and sidelap values for precise coverage calculations.

Slate Required(Required)

Measure Your Roof Area

Determining Your Roof’s Area (m²) Accurately measuring your roof is essential to estimate how much slate you’ll need. Follow these steps: Measure the rafter length Runs from the gutter up to the ridge line.

Copper Nails for Slating: Overview & Specs

Why use copper nails?

Corrosion resistance: Forms a protective patina to prevent rust and staining.
Superior durability: Lasts for decades without needing replacement.
Optimal flexibility: Absorbs roof movement without cracking or shearing.
Aesthetic harmony: Weathers to a warm patina that complements natural slate.
Chemical compatibility: No galvanic reaction with slate or lead flashings.
