The Skeletank® is an innovative new sustainable drainage product for rainwater harvesting. It has been specifically designed to be simple and safe and lessen the reliance on expensive specialist installers. Using the Skeletank® system will help you avoid digging dangerous deep excavations and shovelling tonnes of gravel and concrete. The Skeletank system has a very high load bearing capacity which means it can be installed very shallow, normally only 500mm deep which means you can install the Skeletank system directly below your driveway, patio, decking or lawn. You can even lay tarmac directly over them.

Rainwater Harvesting is fast becoming an extremely popular way of reducing our household water bills, especially if you live in the south of England.
Along with other renewable energy products, a Rainwater Harvesting system can use what comes free with very little capital outlay.
With the predicted increase in house building meaning that at least one third of homes will be built between now and 2050 the demand on drinking water is going to increase.
With hose-pipe bans being imposed more often the need for alternative water sources is becoming ever more apparent.
Add to that new legislation and guidance which is gradually coming into force from Planning Policy to Building Regulations, Rainwater Harvesting is being recommended for use in future new build schemes where practicable.
The Skeletank® Rainwater Harvesting System is the solution that can satisfy your needs to use recycled water for Laundry, Toilet Flushing, Garden Irrigation as well as Car Cleaning – instead of METERED TAP WATER
It has an exceptional short term compressive strength of 70 Tonnes/m².
At its core is a unique, highly voided, high strength, creep resistant, shallow synthetic sub-base replacement void former. This allows the Skeletank® to be installed within the stone layer of a driveway, path or patio area, replacing its equivalent volume in stone. This high strength skeleton allows Skeletank® to be installed at very shallow depths normally less than 500mm deep from the finished surfacing.
The Skeletank ® can be covered with paving blocks, slabs, decking, grass and even tarmac. This shallowness makes it a very safe installation for the installer avoiding the necessity for deep excavations which are susceptible to collapse.
