When most people think about water tanks, they picture those big, classic round tanks sitting in the ground behind a rural home. And yes, Bailey Tanks still makes those, and they’re brilliant. But today, rainwater harvesting has evolved. Homeowners across NZ are looking for smarter, space saving ways to capture and reuse rainwater, and the options have never been better.
Those large in ground tanks are still popular, especially for new builds or rural properties. But more and more homeowners are choosing on-ground tanks that sit neatly beside the house, under a deck, or tucked into unused outdoor space.
And then there’s the Slim Jim range, clever, slimline tanks designed for tight urban areas where space is at a premium. Available in 3,000L, 2,000L, and 1,000L sizes, and in a variety of colours, these tanks make rainwater harvesting achievable for almost any home, even in the city. Whether you’re dealing with a narrow side path, a compact courtyard, or a small backyard, there’s a Slim Jim that fits.
NZ’s weather is changing. Heavy rainfall events are becoming more frequent, and our stormwater systems are under pressure. Capturing rainwater at home isn’t just about saving money; it’s about helping your community.
Retaining rainwater helps to:
• Reduce pressure on stormwater networks during intense downpours
• Lower the risk of localised flooding on your street
• Provide free water for gardens, cleaning, and even toilet flushing
• Support sustainability goals at home
• Make better use of the water that falls on your roof
Even a small tank can make a meaningful difference. Bailey Tanks have a wide range of tanks for all types of homes.
Whether you want a large in ground system, a compact on ground tank, or a slimline option that blends into your outdoor space, Bailey has designed a solution that works. With multiple sizes, colours, and installation options, rainwater harvesting is no longer limited to rural properties; it’s accessible to everyone.
