Should I put my water tank on a platform?

We highly recommend placing any water tank on a solid, sturdy platform as to further stabilize your water storage. Your platform could be any number of things - just make sure that it is strong enough to hold between 1550 and 4150 lbs of water weight depending on which of our tanks you're using. Several flat, wooden 2x8's is what we recommend and use ourselves. Avoid wooden pallets however, as they could collapse under the weight.
