We have one of those for a hospital tank. I never can get used to the
color. The lip on ours is like that too, but it cracked. To be fair, I
think that was from tipping it up on its side to dump out the last of the
water that was too low to drain. I actually drilled a hole just under the
lip and would manipulate it over some kind of recess or "dog-dug" hole in
the ground to get the water out. I love the depth of ours. It's deeper
than the one you saw. But, it's not as big in diameter. I'd love to get
one as deep as ours, but ten feet across like that one. Besides, like I
said, I hate the color. Some kind of good paint is called for here, maybe.
You might find something interesting under a thread titled "What kind of
paint". I was asking about painting milk crates and some good ones were
mentioned.

Went to pick up feed for the goats today and noticed they just got a
shipment of super heavy duty blue poly water tanks for livestock in.
Dimensions is 22"deep x 10' diameter. Has a 1 1/2" threaded drain
plug on a recess channel on the bottom, and the top lip is really
heavy duty and rolled over into a square shaped letter C. The top edge
is perhaps a good 3/8" in thickness so it takes up to cattle etc
leaning against it. Made by Beehm (Sp?) company. Price is only
$146.00........Be a decent sized preformed pond..........but would be
even nicer if it was available in black.....but the blue is not bad
looking....Oh yea, it also has a 20 year warranty againt sun damage
and such, and has UV inhibitors.
