Previously, that water tank was housed in an insulated shed. The shed had to be torn down and the tank moved due to the renovation. I told the carpenter that the new shed had to be built before winter, to avoid my having to deal without water every time it froze outside. Alas, the shed never got built, so I am at the mercy of the weather.
But not for long. I am going to build the shed myself, once I figure out what shed design the carpenter had in mind. He had built a concrete platform, and moved the tank onto it, then bolted down two studs for starters, but that's all. I'll be buying lumber on Sunday to get started, and pray it doesn't freeze or rain!

Almost a month has passed. Did the carpenter come up with an idea? Our family owns a forest lumber water tank, and it has been with us for almost four years now. I suggest you buy one (that is, if you haven't bought one yet).
nice idea!
To prevent your water tank from freezing, consider using a temporary insulated cover or tarp over the tank and platform until you finish the shed. Adding a portable heater or heat lamp inside the cover can also help maintain a stable temperature during the build.
