Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Apr 30, 2020 9:32 pm Hi everyone, my boyfriend and I are building a house in Sydney & are finalising our house contract. I was eager to hear peoples suggestions on where to put our slimline rain water tank. We have it on the side of the house currently (It’s the yellow part I’ve highlighted in the picture attached), keep in kind our garage will shrink to run the same line down as the rest of the house. There won’t be any room behind the tank to move past it, so we don’t be able to gain access to that side through the front of the property. The other option we have is to put it on the back of the house, but we don’t have a big backyard so want to keep as much bare space as possible. Would love to hear if anyone has theirs on side blocking off and it works ok / other suggestions on where to put it?
