1. Polyethylene rainwater tanks comes in many different shapes, colours , heights and sizes. Some are great for under the eaves, under decking, under the floor of a house. Some are specifically designed to be buried in the ground totally out of sight and freeing up the yard. Some have corrugated look, some are straight walled, some resemble brick walls. Some have special windows for strength (some remind me of puffed quilts)

2. Polyethylene is recommended for contact with food & water. It does not leach chemicals into your water. Fibreglass can break down & colorbond steel can rust. Bags & liners can be pierced.

A place of beautiful serenity, a Japanese water garden provides a place for you to go where you can relax, think, and listen to and appreciate the nature around you. No doubt you have seen other gardens like this, but you can actually create one of your own in your back yard, which will allow you to enjoy it for many years.

If you live in a crowded noisy area, but have a backyard to work with, you can still have this type of garden. For you, proper placement and some natural sound barriers are important. Boulders can create a sound barrier that will drown out the sounds of passing traffic or noisy neighbors. Certain plants can also do that job such as the arborvitae variety of tall bushes. These bushes are typically inexpensive and create a nice looking natural sound barrier that can do the same job that boulders can do. These plants may start smaller, so it may take a few years before they become effective, or you can choose to purchase the taller, more established plants, but these will cost a little more.

If you have the possibility to turn a part of your home garden into a water garden, please do so. It's like the heaven on earth. You'll be surrounded by green, water, fresh air, by nature with all it means.
