IF YOU LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST: WE ARE COMING WITH A SMALL LOAD OF TANKS THIS FALL. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND TO PRE-ORDER
The good news is that even though this summer has made stock tanks scarce, there are more places you can get stock tanks. There's even an online company that will ship them to your door. And it used to be nearly impossible to get stock tanks bigger than 8ft anywhere outside of the Midwest, companies like ours are offering bigger tanks in other parts of the country.
Okay, so what places can you search for a stock tank in?

Hastings Dealers: We truly believe that Hastings makes the highest quality tanks. We tried almost all of the brands that are out there and there's are the best hands down. We've had a lot of experience with a lot of different tanks.
Stock Tank Pool Authority (that's us)- We have tanks available out of Middle Tennessee and will deliver up to a 100 mile radius. We also are bringing a small load of tanks up to the Northeast this fall 2020.
Stock Tank House- They cover most of Florida and sell 8, 9, and 10ft stock tanks.
Stock Tanks of SoCal- They serve the entire state of California and beyond.
You can check Hastings website for more dealers here.
Online:
Tank and Barrel- They will ship metal stock tanks up to 7ft to your door. They also sell a variety of plastic stock tanks if that's more your vibe. You might gasp at the shipping charges but it's very challenging and expensive to ship something this large to your door. I've spoken with the owner of this company and he doesn't make a dime off of shipping. He is a logistics whiz, and has this figured out. But that's why Tank and Barrel is the only company that ships to your door- no one wants to do it.
Tractor Supply
This is probably the most widespread store and where most people get their stock tanks.
Co-Op
This is where we got our stock tank pool and I just discovered today that these stores are only in the south, with most of their locations in Tennessee. But likely you're state has a similar type of store. When our Hastings order comes in this fall, we will be switching over to that tank.
Rural King
They have 110 stores in 13 states - their locations are concentrated in the south and mid east.
True Value
From our internet search we could only find that they sold a 6ft stock tank pool, but maybe that's the size you want. Or maybe yours has an 8ft stock tank. Definitely worth giving them a call if this is your most convenient option.
Craigslist
Maybe you'll luck out and find someone selling these on Craigslist. I will say, be on the lookout for rust and leaks when buying a stock tank. You do not want to start out with those kinds of problems.
Farm Supply Stores
Like the Co-Op mentioned above, each state probably has something similar. If you live in a big city, you're gonna have to do a little thinking. Where are the nearest farming areas to you? Google is your friend- so just look up closest farm supply stores. Also, small enough stores might not even have websites, so don't hesitate to give them a call before you head there.

HI! This is all great info, thanks! We are purchasing a galvanized stock tank and adding a salt water pump- To protect from corrosion would you recommend pool liner or flex seal? Thanks!
