James II Tank
James II Tank
Historic James II-inspired water tank from the 1690s; timeless design with optional fountain feature.
- Frostproof
- Lightweight
This impressive water tank is based on the original James II design from 1692, still in daily use in the City of London. Crafted from a durable fibreglass resin mix, it replicates the authentic, aged appearance of the original while offering the advantage of being lightweight and easy to move when empty.
Tough and versatile, this tank is non-corrosive, frostproof, and built to withstand all weather conditions. An optional fountain back plate adds a striking feature, ideal for creating a decorative water display. If using the fountain, marginal plants are recommended, as waterlilies prefer still water.
Whether as a rainwater tank, decorative fountain, or focal point, this tank is a timeless and functional addition to any garden.
