• The initial construction cost of a wood storage tank is significantly less.
• TimberTanks have very low maintenance requirements compared with the cost of painting steel tanks every 5 to 10 years or the leakage problems of reinforced concrete tanks.
• On site construction time.
  TimberTank wood tank construction - 1 to 2 weeks
  Welded steel tank - 4 to 5 months
  Reinforced concrete tank - 6 to 7 months
• The life expectancy of TimberTanks exceeds other methods due to the durability of the materials used.
• Deliberate and inherent design features have been incorporated to give very high earthquake resistance to TimberTanks. This has been proved in practice during a number of severe earthquakes in New Zealand.
• All timber components have total protection from termite attack.
• TimberTank reservoirs can be built in remote and difficult locations using local labor (under supervision) and with hand tools.
• Reservoirs can be readily dismantled and transported for re-erection in another locality if required.
• Reservoirs constructed of timber have a pleasing aesthetic appearance and will enhance projects such as golf courses or other rural tourist locations.
