The Bushman 100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank (SKU 900100-1.5-NAT) is a compact, free-standing polyethylene tank for straightforward liquid storage where floor space is tight and the load needs to sit stable. Filled, it carries real weight: 100 gallons of water plus the tank comes to roughly 834 lb standing on a 31.0 x 31.0 in. base. Verified dimensions are 37 in. tall by 31 in. wide by 31 in. deep, so you can confirm the footprint against your pad or platform before it arrives. The natural translucent body lets you sight the liquid level through the wall without opening the tank.
Will it work for your setup?
This is a vertical liquid storage tank sized for water and water-like liquids. The number that governs your foundation is that 834 lb filled weight, concentrated on a 31 x 31 in. footprint - which is why a vertical tank needs a flat, fully supported, load-rated surface underneath it: a level concrete pad or a continuously supported deck, not a few joists or an uneven gravel bed. Because it stands taller than it is wide, keep it out of high-wind exposure when empty or partially filled, or strap it down. If you are still weighing this 100-gallon body against a taller or wider footprint, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide - both help you match gallons, height clearance, and pad size to the space you actually have.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error with a small vertical tank is treating it like it can hold anything. This tank is specified for water and general liquid storage - it does not carry a specific-gravity rating in our data for heavier-than-water chemistry, so do not fill it with a fluid denser than water (fertilizer solutions, many concentrates) without confirming a properly specific-gravity-rated tank first. Match the tank to the liquid's weight per gallon, not just its volume - the Tank Sizing Calculator lets you check weight-per-gallon against this tank's water-only rating. One more gap to close before you order: fitting configuration (lid or manway, outlet or bulkhead, and gasket material) is not specified in our data for this SKU, so confirm outlet size and gasket material with us before you buy.
