Yeah the plastic 55 gallon drums are the biggest I've seen. Because at that point your dealing with 380 plus pounds of water.

You could make a man made pond with a geosynthetic membrane but spring a leak and hes losing his water plus thats a lot of labor digging and making a anchor trench of some sort.

Go to Tractor supply they sell barrels specifically for storing water of various sizes. They also sell fifty five gallon barrels with screw on lids.
