Slimline Raised Garden Beds
Made these slimline raised garden beds for the Eco Village at Currumbin!
Note the rod in the middle to stop blow-outs!
Slimline Painted Tanks

Our slimline tanks are proving to be really popular - especially for townhouses and small blocks. Plastic tanks are not fire rated (they melt in a fire), so are not allowed on the fence line - whearas gal tanks are permitted.
So, little places can put one of these down the sides easily.
The smallest width I go is 850mm. The length and height is up to you. The colour is up to you as well!
The one pictured is a 3000L slimline, painted in two-pac in Off White - and was one of 12 made for Emmanuel College, Carrara.
Big and Black

One of my favourite clients, Des Grevell, has sent me in some photos of his big, black tank - 10,000 litres!
Des loves it, and even though I had my doubts about the colour, it actually just kind of vanishes in the garden - and looks great.
This is the second black tank he has bought off me - he moved house and wanted the same tank again!

Gal Tanks



People still love the gal finish on tanks - and they look pretty cool in back yards - especially of really old, or really modern places.
I might be prejudiced - but I think they look the best!
Pictured is the 2200L round ($805), the 5000L round ($1323) and the 3000L slimline ($1950).
The slimlines come in two standard sizes and one uses less material - therefore is cheaper. Custom sizes may also vary in price.
3000L
870mm wide
2800mm long
1540mm high
$1950
or
3000L

Andy Warhol's Soup Can for Grey Street, South Bank


Did a job last year for South Bank and GOMA for the Andy Warhol Exhibition.
Made a giant soup can - exactly to scale - for the exhibition. Made the front page of the Gold Coast Sun!
It's still there - South Bank use it with various skins advertising whatever they have on. Not as good as the Soup Can though!
8500L White Tank for West End
2200 L Round Painted Tanks - Painted for Large Project


Did a heaps of tanks for a large project - and suggested we paint the tanks different colours to match the roof and downpipes. We painted them in 2 -pac (I always use 2-pac - looks great and if it's scratched, you can spray over it with a can of paint from Bunnings!)
They turned out amazing! I just made them all up in gal aquaplate - and then the plumber supplied me with how many tanks in each of the Colourbond colours. He was pleased - and so was the builder!
$891 each
Raised Garden Beds
These are my latest creation.
Fabulous for little back yards, and dead easy to set up. Fill with dirt, plant your veges and you are away!
I've put plastic piping around the rim too for safety. Putting one in the garden this weekend - I'll include those pix as they come in!
$90 for this size - or I can make slimline, or colourbond or whatever you like!
