Our family absolutely LOVE our Terra Tank!!

Our family absolutely LOVE our Terra Tank!!

Our family absolutely LOVE our Terra Tank!! Eduardo was so helpful with all of my questions making it so stress free and the entire experience was fantastic. When unexpected circumstances came up on my end, he was more than accommodating and held the tank for me without hesitation. His communication and kindness really stood out. I highly recommend Terra Tanks to anyone thinking about a small pool. It was so easy to set up, our kids absolutely love it, it’s been used every day of the school holidays and my husband cold plunges every night.

I went with the “recovery tub” to sit on my back deck, overlooking my garden & I absolutely LOVE it. It was easy to set up as a refillable & drainable bath tub which is perfect for our family & completing the outdoor bathroom. I went through the steps of DIY painting it a green colour which was a lot easier than I thought it would be! Eduardo has been so wonderful & easy to deal with. His communication is amazing & has helped me along with the entire process. So so happy!

The whole process was so easy I kept waiting for something to go wrong… but it never did.

If you’re thinking about getting a stock tank, stop scrolling and call Terra Tanks and Eduardo immediately. Eduardo is unbelievably accommodating, endlessly patient, and somehow answered my 400 questions without once making me feel like a pest. He was super encouraging of my idea of painting our tank, helped to move it numerous times and was so helpful with installation; nothing was too much. Communication was smoother than the finish on our freshly painted tank, and the whole process was so easy I kept waiting for something to go wrong… but it never did. The tank arrived looking incredible, and Eduardo made sure everything was sorted perfectly. Highly, highly recommend Terra Tanks and Eduardo.🙌

We’ve created our dream pool in our own backyard and honestly never thought it would be possible. Terra Tanks made the whole process so easy. The price was far more achievable than we expected, the service was incredible, and council approval was nowhere near as intimidating as we’d built it up to be. If you’re worried about cost, space or approvals, this is 100% worth looking into.

Frequently Asked Questions

A stainless coil sits beside the tub with a fire inside it. Water flows out of the bottom of the tub into the coil, warms, rises and returns through the top hose. That loop runs on its own for as long as the fire burns, with no pump and no power. Heat-up time depends on the fire and the weather, so light it early and keep the cover on.

Same warehouse, same tanks, different offer. Stock Tanks Australia sells tanks as tanks, and the wood fired hot tub as a straight kit at $2,299 with $59 shipping. Terra Tanks sells the complete systems: the plunge pool with pump, filter, pre-drilled ports and council paperwork, and the hot tub with colours, free metro delivery and a 90-day money-back guarantee. If you know what you are building, buy here. If you want it all sorted, go to terratanks.com.au.

Short answer: eventually, yes.

Honest answer: not something most people deal with anytime soon.

These are galvanised steel tanks originally made to sit out in paddocks in the US, holding water for cattle year-round. Rain, sun, mud… they’re built for it.

So in a backyard setup, they’re already operating in pretty easy conditions.

That said, like anything metal + water:

  • Leave water untreated and you’ll speed things up
  • Keep it clean and you’ll get years out of it

Want to completely remove the worry?

Add a pool liner and you won’t have to think about rust at all. That’s what most people end up doing for peace of mind.

Long enough that you’re not replacing this anytime soon.

Remember, these are designed to sit in open paddocks in the US, full of water for livestock, year after year.

So as a backyard plunge pool, it’s an easy life.

What affects lifespan:

  • Water maintenance
  • Whether you use a liner
  • General care

Typical expectation:

  • Without a liner, years of solid use
  • With a liner, even longer with extra protection

Most people are surprised how durable they actually are once they understand what they were built for.

You can, and this is where things get interesting.

Add a heater and suddenly it’s not just a summer pool, it’s a year-round setup.

  • 🔥 Wood-fired, more of an experience
  • ⚡ Electric, simple and consistent
  • 🔥 Gas, heats fast

A lot of people start out thinking “just a plunge pool”…

Then realise sitting in hot water on a cold night is hard to beat.

In most cases, yes.

If it holds 300mm or more of water, it’s classified as a pool under Australian regulations.

That includes stock tanks.

The good news:

We’ve already done the hard part for you.

  • Step-by-step approval guide
  • Engineering certificate
  • Clear direction on what’s required

So instead of trying to decode council rules, you just follow the process.

Most people find it way more straightforward than they expected.

No, but do it properly once and you’re set.

The tank itself is simple. The main thing that matters is a solid, level base.

Typical setup:

  1. Level the ground
  2. Add crushed rock (blue metal)
  3. Place the tank
  4. Connect your pump

That’s it.

Most customers either:

  • DIY it over a weekend, or
  • Get a landscaper to handle the base

We give you a step-by-step guide so you’re not guessing.

Short answer: no, it’s not going to burn you.

These tanks are made from galvanised steel, which doesn’t trap heat the same way darker, dense materials do. It reflects a lot of heat rather than absorbing and holding onto it.

The bigger factor though is the water itself.

A full tank of water acts as a natural temperature buffer. It takes a lot of energy to heat up a large volume of water, so it stays relatively stable even on hot days.

What that means in real life:

  • The water doesn’t suddenly turn hot
  • The metal edge isn’t scorching to touch
  • It feels similar to any normal pool

If anything, most people are surprised it stays cooler than expected.

And if you want full control, it’s easy:

  • Place it in partial shade
  • Add timber cladding
  • Use a cover when it’s not in use

Simple tweaks, but honestly, most people don’t find it an issue at all.

Yes. Landscapers, pool installers, rural stores and glamping operators buy from us at trade pricing from five tanks, and we can supply a full container. See the wholesale page or email hello@stocktanks.com.au.
