The best method to save and store water is by buying a high-quality steel water tank in Botswana.
About Us
The view was established in 1948 and manufactured its first pressed steel tank shortly thereafter. Offering sectional steel water tank in Botswana in both modular and circular design, tanks are formed using panels, prefabricated cleats and stays bolted together on site to give an infinite range of sizes and capacities. Though generally square or rectangular in construction, tanks can be provided in a variety of forms to suit particular site conditions and project requirements.
This modular concept and bolted construction allow for fast assembly utilizing semi-skilled labor, which provides advantages and cost-cutting benefits associated with reduced site occupation when considered against traditional concrete or welded steel construction. This system also lends itself to straightforward refurbishment as individual components can be inspected and replaced as required. Similarly, alterations to dimensions and capacity can be done with minimal downtime.
Why You Need a Water Tank in Botswana Today
Botswana faces increasing pressure on municipal and rural water systems due to heat, drought cycles and rapid development. Having your own water tank lets you stay prepared during rationing, protect livestock, support irrigation and ensure your home or business never runs dry.
Steel tanks, in particular, withstand Botswana’s harsh UV exposure and high daytime temperatures better than many alternatives, giving you long-term peace of mind.
Sectional Steel Tanks or Circular Tanks?
Technically there are no differences in the quality of the tanks, each tank is made with the same quality materials, using the same technical experience. The biggest difference between the sectional steel tanks and the circular tanks will be based on your needs. And of course, the price might differ as well. Our tanks are ideal reservoirs for storing water for Private Homes, Farms, Businesses and construction sites alike.

What to Check When Buying a Steel Water Tank in Botswana
Before you order a tank, confirm the following:
- Material quality: Opt for galvanised or hot-dip steel panels.
- Certification: Look for SANS/ISO-aligned manufacturing standards.
- Internal liner: Ensure the liner is safe for potable water if you plan to drink from the tank.
- Capacity: Match your tank size to your daily use, borehole yield or rainfall-harvesting system.
- Base preparation: Most steel tanks require a level concrete slab or compacted surface.
- Accessories: Check for ladders, roof options, inlet/outlet sizes and overflow protection.
These checks make sure your tank performs in Botswana’s climate and lasts 20 years or more with proper care.

Choosing the Right Tank Size for Botswana (How many litres do I need?)
A typical Botswana household uses between 150–200 litres per person per day, depending on cooking, bathing and garden use. Farmers, lodges and commercial sites may require much more.
Quick size examples:
- 2–4 people: 2,500L–5,000 litres
- Small farm: 10,000L–30,000 litres
- Commercial/industrial: 50,000L–250,000 litres or more
If you’re harvesting rainwater, consider your roof area and rainfall patterns. A larger tank gives better security during long dry spells.
Selecting portable water tanks vs. fixed galvanized water tanks
For Warehouses or factories and businesses looking for a water tank, the best option is often the fixed galvanised tank. This is a popular selection for those who are not going to need to move the tank around. Fixed tanks remain in one place, and because of their size, they are often built on site rather than transported already built. As mentioned before, the galvanised tank is completely hygienic, which makes it suitable for storing water for drinking but it can also be used for storing greywater, if that is your intention.
