I came across a company called 3c trading ltd. (cant add the link sorry). They do very big fluid storage units.

I do it a bit of occasional techy work for a company that sell rainwater harvesting tanks - am sure that I could get a bit of a discount on tanks if required. Here is the link https://www.irrigationuk.com/water-tanks-accessories/cat_1006.html

I have seven IBCs on my field where I have no mains water, just that which I collect from my small barn roof. Also five used house baths, two large round galvanised cattle drinkers, two stainless steel dairy containers and various waterbutts. With all of these I can just about collect and keep enough rainwater for the polytunnel, veggie and fruit beds, ducks, hens and goats. The IBCs weren't cheap at all, the baths were free, the other containers were secondhand and priced accordingly. I couldn't manage without the IBCs.

I've had one outside in full sun for eight years, it's 100% fine. Painting it black, however, would have stopped it going green.

You can get black ibc's. We have 7 around the homestead that are gradually getting connected to the guttering. Amazing where they fit as quite compact! Got mine off ebay.

Yep, hundreds on eBay, from under thirty quid. Location will be the key, I guess.
