By co-operation and exchanging experiences of waterfowl breeders there has been developed a high quality polyhedron (GRP) rearing tank, which is manufactured by a polyhedron (GRP) processing company in The Netherlands. These rearing tanks have been tested during a longer period of time and proved to be of high quality with many possibilities.
The rearing tanks are being manufactured with a strong fibrous (fibre glass) material and by the end of the process the outside of the tank is sprayed in a dark green colour. Inside the tank the surface is finished very smoothly. This is to minimize the chance of affixture of bacteria and contamination by faeces of waterfowl.
The benefits at a glance:
- Useful for different kinds of waterfowl;
- Fabricated of a durable high quality polyhedron (GRP);
- Possibility for different compartments;
- Easy to clean by a smooth inside;
- Standard dark green colour on the outside;
- Different sizes available;
- Providing (semi) customization is possible.
Available variants and options
The polyester rearing tanks are available in three variants. Two sizes have been developed for waterbirds. For wading birds is currently one size available.

Optional Extras: Overflow
Regulating the water level and the simplified removal of the contaminated water can be controlled by the overflow plug system, connected to the waste pipe. If desired, this can be supplied separately or pre-installed on the rearing tank.
Optional Extras: Aluminium base
For the rearing tank a lightweight aluminum base is developed. The rearing tank hangs by means of the wide polyester edge close-fitting in the upper base frame. The legs are easy to slide so that the entire frame is easy to disassemble. If disassembled, the base is compact stowable.
