Abstract
An insulating system for storage tanks uses vertical straps and horizontal cables to form a web on the outer surface of a spherical storage tank. Fasteners and clamps positioned at intervals along the vertical straps anchor the cables in place. Panel sections are positioned transversely to the horizontal cables, the panel sections having opposing side flanges that are folded over flanges on adjoining panel sections as well as the attachment means looped around the cable.
