Default cost of fabricating plastic holding tanks

What do you think of the idea of fabricating a holding tank from plywood, FG
cloth and epoxy as suggested by AMPowers?


Um, I never suggested using plywood, that is what failed in the first
place, prompting us to build a new one. I built mine from cloth & epoxy
resin. Looking at current prices, my guess is it would be much less
than that to build the size tank you described. My original point was
that we used the project as an excuse to teach ourselves how to work
with the material. If you want to learn how to as well, then this
approach might work, otherwise I'd suggest you pay someone on a fixed bid.
