This is a ferrocement rainwater storage tank built at my off-grid cabin in South Carolina. The tank was built in 3 continuous days by the technologists in the video.
The tank is approximately 300 gallons and the material list is as follows:
10 bags Quickrete premixed concrete(foundation)
8 bags mortar mix(inner/outer plaster)
1 roll chicken wire
1 roll 1/4" wire roll
salvaged rebar
salvaged plumbing
total material costs less than $150
The plumbing connections and roof will be added at a later date.
Appropriate Technologists:
Matt Fedorko
Stony Oswald
Background music: Buttons and Bows by David Grisman on album Dog Duos

I really like it. I will use the skill to replace old earthen plant pots and various shape pots now I will try for my roof and terrace gardening. Thanks for uploading

If you want to build your own tank, get some cinder blocks and build one. Be sure to plaster the inside for a smooth surface and better yet paint the inside with an epoxy paint after the plaster dries (could take a couple weeks), otherwise the paint could bubble.

That was pretty cool. I'd like to know how it holds up when it gets some water in it the first time.

Odd question, but I'm doing a documentary that involves explaining the ferrocement process. Would it be possible to use this image of the cement being mixed in the documentary? (It's the sped-up image of shovel-mixing in the wheelbarrow.) Thank you.

Sometimes in an off grid situation you have no choice but to build "On Site"...some comments here forget that.The simplicity of this video is the key factor I would presume...yep lets just buy the Chinese model.LOL

which one costs less---this one or the chinese-made plastic drums?

You put the wire mesh on the outside of the polls. That seems like a major mistake in reasoning. Unless you pre-leveled a form, I doubt the bottom is level. I have thought about how durable this kind of construction is, but no answers here.

wouldn't plastic have been better? It seems to me that it's very energy intense, brittle, heavy and expensive. Why not just use a plastic drum?

@LESTERBATE dude you make a lot of good (and true) points. and yes this one is not the best construction. but makeing permanent water storage (cistern) concrete is one of the cheapest ways to go. plus if done by professionals or someone who knows what they are doing, the inside surface can get pretty smooth polished even. for easy cleaning, the idiot you were talking too realy dont know crap as i am sure you figured out. but just pointing out that concrete is a great storage container.
