Hello,
I'm just setting up two 1000 litre recycled IBC tanks such as may be
seen he
http://www.smithsofthedean.co.uk/Recycled%20Containers.htm
to capture rain water from some of my house roof.

I want to raise the base of the tanks about a couple of feet off the
ground for ease of access and water pressure and am thinking of using
slotted angle. Would appreciate any input about strength/sizes and
whether I could put tanks directly onto slotted angle frame or would it
be better to cover with board.

Obviously the max weight for each tank is a little over 1000kg. Although
they are against house wall I don't want to transfer any load to the
wall but could use it for strapping to provide horizontal stability.

Site is slightly sloping so leg lengths will vary from about 1 foot to a
couple of feet.

I can find plenty of info about sizes and prices but no guidance about
load bearing and basic design. Any pointers or comments would be
welcome.

Regards, Colin
