If you want your property to look as great on the outside as it does on the inside then having an unsightly water tank situated in your back yard can be a major problem. You need to find a way to hide the tank from site so that your outside space is easier on the eye. In an ideal world you want to find a solution that is not going to cost a fortune and that it easy to accomplish.
We want to provide you with some ideas about how you can hide the water tank from view. This not only makes your yard a more pleasant environment for socialising; it also improves the overall appearance of the outside of your property.

Creating a structure around the tank

One way to hide a water tank in your back yard is to build a structure around it. You can choose to build this structure out of various materials, such as woodor brick. It’s important to remember that you need to have easy access to the water tank so you should bear this in mind when you are creating the structure. It’s also worth thinking about what is around and underneath the tank, and the area around it.
If you need to dig to create the new structure then you may want to look under any hard surfaces, such as concrete, before you start. This reduces the chance of you encountering any problems only the way. You can do this using a service such as onesearchlocators.com.au. This enables you to see what is hidden beneath solid surfaces before you disrupt them. Once you have created the structure you can decorate it as you see fit, thereby creating a far more pleasant visual experience.

Planting around the tank

If you do not want to spend time creating a structure to hide the water tank in your back yard you can plant shrubs and bushes around it. This gives the area a natural look and helps to create a pleasant environment in which to entertain when the weather is warm. When you are planning your planting do not forget to take into account access to the water tank.

Using a distraction along the eyeline

It may be possible to create a more scenic environment in your back yard without actually hiding your water tank. A different way to deal with the problem is to create a distraction along the same eye line as the tank. You could create a new seating area or place hanging baskets along your fencing. If you do this the attention of visitors will be drawn to the decoration rather than to the water tank.

Hopefully we have provided you with some useful tips for making the water tank in your yard not such an issue. We have provided you with a selection of options, from the very simple and quick to the more permanent and time consuming; it’s up to you which one you choose.
