Reln 1000L Oval Water Tub

Thinking about getting one of these tubs to make an outdoor pit for our Bluey. Wondering if anyone else has done the same??

Great, until it rains and they all drown...
you can get similar, made from corrugated colourbond without the floor.Be cheaper.

I was planning to add drainage, otherwise I would have said 'use as' instead of 'make' an outdoor pit - clearly some modification is required to make it suitable

Thanks for the suggestion, I've been looking at the raised garden beds with the corrugated colourbond but I haven't been all that impressed with the available sizes (and I'm not much of a DIY'er to make my own) and I like the portability that the Reln tank would enable. Hoping that someone else has gone down the same path..

I have used poly tanks for crocs and merten's and have been happy with them, planning to use more over the next few years for different species.

Easy to modify with small drill holes to secure a cover or attach a drainage fitting.

All you need is 4 of about 1 meter radius bends of corrugated then add whatever length sides you want in straight corrugated iron. Any tank maker can roll them for you far cheaper than the popularised raised garden bed.

Yep. Most garden beds are pretty short anyway, around 300-600mm. Either get a local maker to roll some corners or get them to do the whole thing, work out a lot cheaper then buying a "raised garden bed".
