I worked as a yard attendant and forklift driver at a local mom and pop hardware store as a teenager. We had the same structures for storing everything from pallets of salt, concrete, bricks and cinder blocks. If the same rack can support 8 full pallets of concrete this rack will laugh at the weight of that water tank when full. It could easily hold triple to quadruple that weight. If the foundation stays solid there is absolutely nothing to worry about this setup.
That if would be my main concern. Where I live, the ground would probably give a bit. This is a gravel pit with wood on top.
who cares thats his point. he already justified any weight issues.
I was going to say the same thing whoever was complaining about any possible hazards is completely ridiculous. I work at Home Depot and and flying multiple pallets more than 3,200lbs each and this 500gal water barrel is maybe 4,175lbs by itself I say there’s room for expansion.
Water is only 8 lbs per gallon, so 2 whole tons on something that could hold ten times that. People are dumb. Especially people who don't know how things work. One of the reasons why most of us don't want to live by them.
Mrs. Wranglerstar be reassured I installed and sold racking for a living a few years ago. Even the sungle stack racking is rated at 24,000+ lbs. He could store 6 full tanks that size safely. Have no fear, great videos and water tower. My wife and I look forward to all your videos. Keep them coming.
Excellent Job...I appreciate the video.
HAHAHAHAHAHA, Rosanne Barr breakdancing!! AWESOME!
Well, I think you did an amazing job sir. Looks like a military grade built structure. I would sleep underneath that in a hammock.
Keep up the great work Wranglerstars!
Great job Cody on the rant, and let Mrs. W be reassured. If you want to really mess with folks simply refer to it as "pallet racking with a tuned-mass damper".
Thanks for another excellent and unashamed video.
I must say... what a beautiful place, looking at the mountain far away with the snow covered top... just wow, I would want to live like that, what a luxury.
Well done Cody... This is awesome and I see that you did take care of the one issue that concerned you. You moved the front cross member up so that Mrs. Wranglerstar does not smack her head when she is working the compost boxes.
Rosanne Barr break dancing! I love it. Great Rant, really needed!!!
the manufacture stated the load rating for this rack is 27,000 lbs so i'm good
Actually doubled up like that it should be even more that's way more then over built
Has it fallen on anyone’s head in 8 years? 🤪
What a stunning place to live.
You must smile every time you walk out your door.
Thank for the tip. I'm going to do exactly as you say...
I just went over and read comments that the Sally's left on the original video. My head hurts from trying to read them; they really need to remain quiet. Great work, Cody! Thank you for sharing.
Well said intro Cody, too many want to lend their "expertise" (mostly with good-intent) when it's not needed. Judging from your other projects you've shared with RUclips viewers, you work both safely and responsibly. And you think things through, first. Having worked around those pallet racks for years, I can attest to their strength. I think you've built a clever, and economical alternative to a "stick-built" tower. Nice work.
Lol safety Sallys . Love it . Great video brother.
The people who usually comment are the ones who only find fault.
Or the ones who totally agree.
I enjoyed whole heartedly the intro to this video.
Thank you so much for sharing your life experiences so that others can live a more fruitful life. I hate to say that RUclips is the key to our economy getting better, but it is debatable.
Excellent video!
Roseanne Bar break dancing, the funniest thing I've heard you say. Great job keep it up. I love your take on life.
I love your water tower. good job.
Thank you Pablo.
Wranglerstar I hate safety Sally's

I worked in a warehouse and I am almost finished with my degree in construction engineering.
I have seen this exact shelf system in action, and know enough about structural supports that i can tell you:
This support structure WILL hold. Don't worry Ms.W.
Very nice set up Cody!
What a brilliant set up
That view is wonderful. Oh and the water tower is great to.
Awesome, I can just imagine the conversation at the dinner table about the safety sallies. If they were were around earlier in this country, we would not have such a great country. Cody, I love your channel so much and the your willingness to allow us to see your thinking, ingenuity and values.
That is a gorgeous view!!!
She has nothing to worry about. We used the Racks in our warehouse and supported computer systems which way much more. They are very sturdy. I really like your setup. Thanks for all your videos.
looks like a very solid and safe build to me 😊
Great video Cody. Completely agree with you on the rant. I've installed racks like those several times in warehouses and they will hold way more than the 8-9K lbs you're putting on it. Every time I watch your videos I just can't get over that view you have. Just awesome! Keep'em coming.
Great job man. Sadly some people just have to hate on others to feel better as a person. The frame work of that tower could hold four of those tanks with no problem. You just keep doing what you do. Thanks for all the info. It's like I always say. Let's all learn from each other. Joe Tactical
Great job and another great video. Very informative, thanks.
Great Project! Thanks for all the videos!!!
I love it, great time spent and every penny worth it.
She has nothing to worry about. We used the Racks in our warehouse and supported computer systems which way much more. They are very sturdy. I really like your setup.
Love your videos!! cant get enough!! just look at that country!!
That’s a nice view!!! From Auburn, Alabama.
I'm so envious of the land you live on! Such a refreshing view!
This is awesome ...GOD bless you!
Nice Work! Please keep in mind if the Wright Brothers listened to the Dafety Sallies, well we would all be Grounded,
nice job. great use of a ram pump
Great water tower, thanks for sharing
Loved your rant. Stupid has to be called out 24/7/365.
The property location looks stunning!!!
dont ya just love all the structural engineers and how they worry---you did a great job --dont worry at all---and your wife , what a trooper to help you boost that tank to the top--you two are a great team--
He warned about his rant. I love this guy! haha
Thank you!!!! Your simple explanation finally helped me convince my husband on doing this.
With you 100% on the racking. I worked in a warehouse for 4 years while I was in undergrad. Those are the heavy duty racks, as you pointed out the uprights are doubled. Just for your information, those will hold 27,000 pounds. You could place 4 of your 500 gallon tanks on them and still be OK. And just because they are rated for 27,000lbs does not mean they wont hold more. Some racks held pallets of steel stock, 40,000lbs total, for all 4 years I was there without incident.
I've been watching since Feb. of this year. I'm 62 and I admire the hell out of you. Your dad must be very proud.
I don't consider you the type of person who would risk creating something that would harm your wife or son. When I watched the water tower segment, I too was thinking of tying into the barn. If it were me, I'd tie the legs together a couple feet off the ground (maybe they are & I missed it).
Carry on, fear not. Hope the fire danger subsides (I'm in Colorado).
Mac.
Amazing view from your garden!
You're out of line Cody. NO rack or building of any type could support the weight of Roseann Barr break dancing......., that is an awful lot to ask!
Gold.
matt4270 lol
LOL
dont talk about my lady like that.. i dreamed about making sweet love to her since i was a kid.. id love her to sit on my face and eat her sweet come as it oooozes out of her
Yah Roseann Barr. A baby elephant sure, but Roseann Bar no way. : ) : )
You're awesome man - I found your channel on accident and can't get enough. I'm planning on moving to a homesteading style and I'm learning so much watching your thought leadership. Please don't stop because of the Sally's.
Awesome system, I never would have thought of this myself. Now I'm off to find info for water ram pump systems and maybe be able to do something like this for MY family. Thanks for the info Mr. Wranglerstar.
I love your rants, they are SOOOO AWESOME! LOL
Thank you for the share, always looking forward to them. The van has me thinking on what i can do to mine. Thanks again :)
Ah, the energy to dispell the critiques of all the doubting Thomases on youtube. More power to you.
I wouldn't put Rosanne up there, it would contaminate your water supply beyond all use.
Safety Sally. I'm going to use that one.
Damn 10 years ahead of me thanks for the share
NICE! Thank you for sharing! Also I really like how you incorporated measuring water flow and pressure reading into the video. It really helps to figure out what DIY systems are poor designs and what DIY systems are good designs! :)
he's a fireman he knows what he is doing I agree with all he's doing for his house and family :3 great work man
Very nice setup.
Thanks Cody.This is my favorite channel on youtube.
Great job!!! Very inspiring!! Super smart!
I really appreciate you taking the time to go through this. Awesome.
My pleasure!
You did a great job. I owned a welding company and built hundreds of building and what you did is more then enough. I am thinking of putting up a Catch Basin tank for rain water off of our 30x60 barn,,which I should be over 900- 1000 gals from a ONE inch rainfall. I was thinking of cementing 2" pipe in the ground 4 ft deep and weld 4" channel on top,,but I think I like your idea better...looks sound and well designed.
Love your view too,,here in south Texas we don't have that,,,,Jealous...;)
Cody , All i can say is well done mate, I have worked the land years ago and wish i would have known of the benefits of the Ram pump, Thank you for a very informative video, PS: never worry about the trolls here who know every bloody thing but know nothing, You do your way mate, looks flamin awesome to me . Cheers.
I love the vid, you really motivate me. I have just finished my rain catch with a 300 gallon tank. Having my own water tank on that level would really put me ahead of the game. Thx.
Great video. Thanks for sharing theprogress, and telling the Safety Sallies where to file their complaints.
I would like to suggest switching to an all-drip, or all 'mist' system in those boxes. As you can see in the video, the spinnerheads are watering the sides of the boxes. They are meant for a larger circumference , with 'head-to-head' coverage.
All the best, and keep up the great work. We are all learning a lot!
Tell the Safety Sally's to go into Home Depot and look at the free standing racks that are not double legs holding up floor tile and and other heavy supplies. You did a great Job.
You background it’s beautiful, looks like heaven.
What a Great View, Great Videos. If your ever in Manitoba come for a visit.
In the past I owned & used the engineered shelving that you have built your tower from. It's perfectly safe for the load that you've placed on it. People these days are almost incapable of changing a light bulb without full msafety gear & 2 people to hold the ladder.
I'm off-grid in the Alberta badlands near Drumheller & built my tower from treated 4x4's , it serves as both outdoor shower as well as watering the garden & trees.
I love being off-grid & self-reliant lifestyle. All the best.
That Mount Shasta in the background? God's beauty to behold!
interesting...in the mid 60's I built two ram pumps for a friend of mine....I went thru hell . I used plans from a 1920's magazine..... you made it look easy....LOL...
Nice rant Cody! Let folks sit on the couch and be afraid of doing anything. Nice work. Have you tested the production (volume) of your ram pump? Oh wait you said 500 gallons in 10 hours = .83gpm? Thanks for sharing!
Nice work Cody, your rant made me laugh.
Great water tower!
All that hard work and pays off too look at that wonderful view.
That Water Tower is Great, It's not the way I would do it, but is constructed exactly the way it should be.Very safe.I admire your talent.
Very nice set up. Looking forward to updates on the tower when you find a second 500 gallon tank.
love your chanel and videos keep them coming and God bless you and your family.
awesome setup keep videos coming, i watch every single one u load
good homestead video... I'm intrigued by water towers for energy storage and water (obviously)
GREAT IDEA!!! i"m going to build one on my place! and YES! it will support the weight and it IS safe!! thanks for the videos!
Nice work thanks for sharing
As the season wears on, will have to give us a good vid on how you winterize/weatherize your great looking off grid water system. Good stuff!
Ha.. that made me laugh... Go Roseanne.... Structure looks solid to me. good job..
I work in a book depository warehouse. Our racks are very similar, but they are very old and don't look as sturdy and reinforced as yours. A pallet of books can with 1.5-2 tons depending. The racks are fully capable of holding 8 full pallets each with 2 more on the ground. Before you mentioned it, I was going to recommend tying it in to the house/shed to prevent wobble. You did a great job. Thx for the vids!
If some people are so scared of the pallet rack falling on them tell them not to go to those big bulk store one of the one in there might fall on them. Nice project, love the video
I laughed by butt off at your Rossane Barr comment... Its safe Mrs.W!
LOL "You're scaring Mrs. Wranglerstar"
'Safety Sally's' are all to often found in the can't do so they try to instruct group as experts(?) You have a good design, set well and solid, so don't let the armchair experts distract you. Love this video series, enjoy the way you solve the problems, well done. You have some usable water as you need it, and the fire rig refill is awesome. Keep it up.
Cool. Rosanne Comment was funny. Funny how you decided to use her.
great video.... i was getting ready to say water hammer than you said it.lol
I was hoping this was how to build the aqua tower, that gets water from the air. They want to sell you the manual on how to build it, and to be honest, this kind of info we should share freely with each other.
I can't believe people would think that a tank that small couldn't be safely supported by a pallet rack. People obviously do not understand physics and/or have common sense. Keep on rocking it!
Awesome
nice set up Brother....
Roseanne Barr breakdancing holly cow I just about peed myself lol You are the man
Mr and Mrs w don't listen to some negative feeds that you have. you are good people keep the videos coming :) :)
Glad to see a young man, with his shit together, and his brain working.
Awsome, Great Work !!!
I laughed at your rosanne comment. nice haha
love the water tower setup. with the wildfire threat getting worse each year i'd ad at least another tank. and as gjmcart said you got room for 4 total. extra ins. and added peace of mind. especially with it taking 10 hours to fill that one. just found your channel a few days ago and getting a stiff neck from watching all the vids. haha... great work and i envy you for your location.
