Add a Wing to the Sides of the Tower

The Enclosed Mushroom Water Towers vary between 10' to 20' at the base and 12' to 40 ft' in height. The main towers are built of 6x6's for posts and 6x6's for braces.  Upper platform is built with 6x joists, 2x decking, 5/8" plywood and roofing. The exterior walls are on the outside of the braces and made of 2x stud construction.  Exterior materials can be wood shingles, horizontal siding or vertical siding.  You can also mix and match materials.  If you just want an observation tower, you don't need a tank, just a handrail.  The tower can, however, be designed to hold water tanks up to 4,000 gal.  With the Enclosed Towers, you can add intermediate floors and create usable spaces.  These towers make a handy solution to storing water for residential or agricultural use.  They can provide gravity flow water when needed and the rooms can be used for any number of possible uses.  The 4 story version is wide enough to create a 1 car garage door opening.  You can have a variety of choices of handrails and can have either a wood or concrete floor.  These towers can also be adaped to serve as Lookout Towers.

The Enclosed Mushroom Water Towers are designed to the new 2008 International Building Code for 80 mph winds and seismic zone 4 requirements for California, the most stringent.  All plans are signed by a licensed California Structural Engineer or Architect.
