The Bushman 265 Gallon Mocha Slimline Rainwater Storage Tank is built for sites where width is the constraint and capacity still matters. At 25 inches deep, 59 inches wide, and 62.5 inches tall, this slimline footprint tucks against a wall, fence line, or the narrow side-yard gap where a round water storage tank simply will not fit, while still holding 265 gallons of harvested rainwater. The mocha color is muted to blend into residential and light-commercial settings. If you are weighing this against a round profile for a tight run, the slimline form factor is the reason it exists.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a polyethylene water storage tank rated at 1.0 specific gravity, which covers rainwater, fresh water, and general non-pressurized water storage. It is rated to 1.0 specific gravity only, so do not use it for chemicals or any liquid heavier than water. The tank measures 62.5 inches tall with a 25 x 59 inch footprint, so confirm your pad can accept that rectangular base before you order. When full, the tank and its contents weigh 2,210 pounds, and that full-water weight is also the maximum rated contents weight, so your pad or stand has to carry the same load whether you fill it with rainwater or any other 1.0-SG water. The tank ships empty and is light enough to position before filling. If you are not sure 265 gallons is the right capacity for your roof catchment or your draw-down needs, the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide will help you size it against real numbers.
Pad and foundation: get this right first
A slimline tank carries a tall, narrow load over a small footprint, which makes a level, full-contact base more important here than on a squat round tank. The 2,210-pound full weight needs to sit on a continuous, level surface so the shell is not bridging gaps. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that base right. For harvesting setups, the Bushman rainwater harvesting first-flush diverter sizing guide covers keeping the first dirty flush of roof runoff out of your stored supply.
The mistake to avoid
The most common slimline mistake is treating the footprint number as your only siting check. Because the tank is tall relative to its 25-inch depth, an unlevel or undersized pad puts uneven stress on a narrow base and invites lean. Measure your pad to the full 25 x 59 inch footprint, confirm it is dead level, and account for the full 2,210-pound load before delivery, not after the truck arrives. One more check before you order: fitting configuration (inlet, overflow, and outlet provisions) is not specified in our catalog data for this SKU, so confirm what is included for your plumbing plan rather than assuming. If your site is part of a larger reuse or fire-water setup, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide and the fire-water reservoir design guide show how slimline storage fits a larger train.
