Box in propane tank

[chuck172]

Has anyone boxed in their pressurized propane storage tank? 500 gallons-10 feet long, 40" high, 37" dia.
You can stud and sheet rock the sides, and plywood the top making for shelf space.
I just set my TarmSolo 40 and all my wife can say is "It's so big". "Well at least there's no ugly pipe sticking out all over it"
I had to tell her its not piped yet.
Wait till she see's the gigantic silver torpedoes that I'm planning on!

Sure you can. Would want some access doors to the connections, and to fill and drain, and for the tank vent. Insulate the box. If your wife pictures the Tarm and the Box as warm winter days and nights, it could become quite beautiful.

I guess it's tough for her to get into the wood-burning winter spirit in mid-summer with temps in the 80's. No imagination.!

I'd box it in just to make it easier to insulate it adequately.
