The 1295 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank from Norwesco is a free-standing polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real volume on a compact footprint. It stands 64 inches tall on an 84-inch diameter base, holding 1,295 gallons. As a vertical storage tank, it sits on its own flat bottom and needs no external support frame, which keeps the install straightforward for ranch, rural, fire-reserve, and industrial water duty.
Will this tank work for your application?
This is a polyethylene vertical tank rated to a specific gravity of 1.5, so it carries liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water without the wall stress that lighter-rated tanks face. For plain water at 8.34 pounds per gallon, a full tank weighs about 10,800 pounds of contents; at its full 1.5 SG rating the tank is built to hold up to 16,200 pounds of contents. Use those numbers when you plan your pad and your fill schedule. The footprint is 84.0 inches in diameter, so size your slab to fully support the base ring with no overhang. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this 1,295-gallon size is right for your draw rate and storage window before you commit.

Pad and placement before you fill
A vertical tank carrying up to 16,200 pounds when full puts serious point load on whatever sits under it. The most common mistake on a tank this size is setting it on uneven ground, gravel that settles, or a pad that does not extend under the full 84-inch base. Pour or verify a level, continuous foundation sized for the loaded weight first. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the slab matches the load. If this tank is going into a fire-water reserve, our fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate sites. For grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate aggregation, see our write-up on industrial water reuse tank topology. For full dimensions and outlet detail, see the technical drawing on this page.
