Westeel Liquid Storage Tank
Westeel's aboveground steel tanks are a best-in-class choice for equestrian barns because they combine proven galvanized-steel construction with modular capacities that keep upfront capital costs lower than purpose-built slurry silos. Compared with larger, more specialized systems on this list, Westeel tanks are easier and cheaper to site and maintain for mid‑to‑small barns while still offering corrosion resistance and straightforward pump/venting integration for odor and runoff control.

Perma-Store Harvestore Slurrystore
The Perma-Store Harvestore Slurrystore holds a market-leader position driven by its long track record for high-capacity, durable slurry containment and proven liners and sealing systems that reduce odors and seepage. While typically a higher upfront investment than modular steel tanks, its specialized sealing and storage performance make it financially attractive over the long term for facilities that require large, low-maintenance storage footprints and strict environmental control.

Boerger Rotastore Tank
Börger's Rotastore tanks stand out for integrated pumping and agitation options that minimize maintenance and energy use while improving slurry homogeneity for easier transfer and spreading—valuable for barns that need efficient emptying and low-odor management. Technically more advanced than simple steel tanks, Rotastore systems can reduce operating costs and labor compared with non‑agitated options like basic aboveground tanks and are well suited to barns that need frequent handling of viscous manure.
