ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting a cylindrical object such as a storage tank using a plurality of supports. Each support may be a foot, having a curved portion adjacent to the cylindrical object and a base section. The feet may be mounted with their curved portions adjacent to the sides of the tank and the base section may be attached to a flexible base, which may be rolled or folded for easy storage when not in use. Furthermore, the support may be a portion of the base itself, folded toward the cylindrical object or folded as a flap from the center region toward the outer edge. The independent nature of the supports and their adjustability with respect to the base makes them suitable for use with tanks of various sizes. The independent nature of the supports also makes them suitable for use on uneven ground.
