Under Deck & Tight Space Flexible Water Storage
Australian-made rainwater bladder tanks
Do you want to harvest rainwater but don't have room for a bulky rigid tank? The Fleximake Rainwater Bladder Tank – proudly designed and manufactured in Australia – is the answer.
Engineered for under decks, under houses, garages, sheds, and narrow passages, these flexible pillow tanks turn dead space into valuable water storage.
Made from heavy-duty reinforced PVC, they are puncture-resistant, UV-stable, and built specifically for the harsh Australian climate – from blistering summers to torrential downpours.

🔧 Fill Configuration (Inlet) – Choose how your tank fills
We offer three ways to connect your rainwater bladder tank to your downpipe. Select the option that best fits your installation space and plumbing setup.
Top Fill – Best for DIY. Connect your downpipe directly to the top of the tank. Simple, no plumber typically required.
Bottom Fill – Best for permanent, concealed installations (like under a house). Clean look with hidden pipework. Professional installation recommended.
Side Fill – Best for retrofit or tight access areas. Uses a reducer socket (90mm or 100mm down to 50mm). ⚠️ May require local council or plumbing approval depending on your area.

Installation Configuration & Fill Options
• Top Fill – Simplest DIY option. Connect directly to a downpipe for easy rainwater harvesting. No plumber typically required.
• Bottom Fill – Best for permanent or concealed installations (e.g., under-house systems). Provides clean plumbing layout with hidden pipework. Professional installation recommended.
• Side Fill – Ideal for retrofit installations or tight access areas where plumbing runs need flexibility. Requires diverter, 50mm hose, and non-return valve. Licensed plumber required in most states.
👉 If you are unsure, Top Fill is the easiest and most common option for residential installations.
⚠️ In most Australian states, modifying downpipes requires a licensed plumber by law.
Installation & Site Requirements
• Top Fill – DIY-friendly. Most homeowners can install this themselves.
• Bottom Fill or Side Fill – Professional installation recommended.
• Folded and rolled for transport
• Carried through narrow access points (doors, side passages, under-house entries)
• Unfolded and positioned on-site before filling
Once filled with water, it expands to its full size.
Important requirements:
• Ensure the folded tank can physically fit through access points
• Confirm there is enough flat space for final placement
• The surface must be clean and free from sharp objects
👉 If access is very limited, we can recommend a custom bladder design to suit your site.
• Surface must be flat and level
• Free from sharp rocks, debris, or protruding objects
• Suitable bases include concrete slabs or compacted soil
• Maximum recommended slope: 250mm over 10 metres (25mm per 1 metre)
• For steeper slopes, a retaining wall or level platform is recommended
• Custom tie-down or webbing systems are available for challenging sites

• Under houses (sub-floor rainwater storage)
• Under decks or patios
• Garages and sheds
• Narrow side passages
• Low-clearance or unused spaces
• Off-grid water storage systems
