Why bother with hiding?
We know this might sound a little strange, given that we are looking at ways of removing a water tank from view. But, distraction is often a good alternative to hiding. This is not so much about removing the water tank from view; it’s more about helping people to forget that it’s there.

- You need to have access to the tank so this needs to be taken into account when designing the structure.
- You need to know if there are any utility pipes present, where you are going to dig into the ground. In order to make sure this is the case, you should think about having utility locating carried out.
- Any structure you build needs to be able to withstand extremes of weather.
If you take all of these points into account, you should be able to create a suitable structure.
Using nature to hide a water tank

Of course, you may have to wait for the bushes and shrubs you plant to grow, before they effectively hide your water tank, but the cover will look completely natural when it’s complete. You need to choose what you plant wisely. You do not want the growth to be too intense as you need to be able to access the tank easily.
