Kingspan supplied the made-to-measure water tanks used in The Block 2026 yards, and the show mentioned them on screen as a rainwater harvesting feature rather than just a product in the list.
Kingspan at a glance
- What it is: an Australian rainwater tank maker (formerly Tankworks, since 1934) making steel tanks to measure.
- How it got on the show: Nine credits Kingspan water tanks on the front yard lists for Rick and Tayla and Sev and Courtney.
- What we spotted: two tanks on one yard, described on screen as made to measure and set to harvest the rain.
- Range: AQUAPLATE steel tanks in the full range of Colorbond colours, from 500 to 29,000 litres, according to the company.
Seasons seen: The Block 2026.
The Block Head’s take
The Block Head’s take: tanks are the unglamorous part of a yard, so it was a good move to dress them. The caption in Episode 49 is the giveaway: once the planting grows over the tanks, you get a wall of green.
Every time Kingspan turned up
| Episode | What happened |
|---|---|
| Episode 47 | Two made-to-measure Kingspan water tanks are shown, set to harvest the rain that is falling |
| Episode 49 | A yard is praised, with the point that planting will cover the Kingspan tanks and leave a lovely wall of green |
If you are thinking of buying
- Check local rules: rules for rainwater tanks vary by state and council, so check connection, plumbing and approval requirements first.
- Made to measure: custom sizes let you fit a tank into a narrow side or screen it with planting.
- Colour match: Colorbond colours let the tank blend with the fence or house.
