What rot.

Tanks with thicker plastic at the bottom and lower part of the walls is
preferred by experienced rural dwellers as many farmers have found that poly
tanks that aren't thicker on the bottom and lower walls split.

What is it with you?
Are you just thick, or are you on a mission to prove Oz farmers are
thick?
Go read ISO 9001, get an education in engineering.. anything!

 Name a brand of tank that has a thicker wall at the base,  As for splitting
that's only likely if you attempt to move the thing while partly full, and
most of the reputable brands have a 25 year guarantee

Never heard of google?  I just did a quick search and Clark Tanks, Toowoomba
Plastics polytanks, Rainwater Tank Company, Action Tanks and Lifestyle tanks
were some of the ones that popped up whihc all claim that the thicker lower
walls is adds strength.  and of course such a claim amkes sense given that
is where the maximum pressure would be.

And David mentioned Bushmans.  I didn't see those tanks in my hunt, but it
was only a very quick and dirty google.

As for splitting

As a number of people have already pointed out, a 25 year guarantee means
little as numerous people have found out over the years for all sorts of
reasons and for all sorts of products.  And there can be multiple failures
for tanks and moving a half full tank may not be one of them.
