I'd second the sentiment to keep looking. I had a 35 gallon tank
fabricated 6-7 years ago out of 3/8 poly for less than $200. The shape was a straight forward rectangle. Matt RW Salnick wrote: Gordon Wedman inscribed in red ink for all to know: Anyone had a plastic holding tank fabricated lately? I was quoted $1,200 for a tank that might hold 15 gallons. It would be prism shaped, 30 inches long, 20 inches on each side and 18 inches across the top. I figure there might be 25 square feet of plastic at most. I was told the material alone was $800. That's something like $30/square foot. Is that what 3/8" thick poly sheets go for these days? I didn't think those plastic cutting boards you buy at Wal Mart cost $30. So is this the going rate these days? I had Ronco make me a 45 gallon holding tank - it was no where near the price you quoted. They were very professional, and delivered ahead (!) of the promised date. Check http://www.ronco-plastics.net/ bob s/v Eolian Seattle |
