Money-Saving Way To Repair Stock Tanks LIVESTOCK Feeding Equipment 22-3-31 A new "poly" fabric liner is a great way to seal up leaky livestock tanks and avoid costly replacement, according to the product's Montana distributor.
Center Ag Supply's 16 ml. thick polyethylene fabric comes in 6 ft. widths in virtually any length.
To use, you simply heat "weld" sections together to a width that's 1 ft. wider than the tank, overlapping seams by 6 in. Then put the fabric in the tank and pour in enough water to weight it down. Then, place a band around the tank to hold the fabric to the sides and trim off the excess.
A typical 10-ft. dia. by 2-ft. high stock tank requires 16 sq. ft. of material. At 25 cents per sq. ft., it costs $75 to repair a corroded or rusted tank this size.
Lasts five or six years under normal use, Center Ag Supply says.
