The Bushman 130 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank pairs a genuinely tight footprint with usable capacity, which is why the slimline profile exists: at 17 inches wide and 49 inches long it slides into narrow side yards, equipment alcoves, and against-wall runs where a conventional round vertical simply will not fit. Standing 50 inches tall in black polyethylene, it holds 130 gallons of water for rainwater capture, hauling, irrigation buffering, and emergency reserve.
Will it work for your site
Start with the footprint before you commit floor space: this tank occupies a 17.0 x 49.0 inch rectangle and reaches 50 inches to the top. It carries no published specific-gravity rating in our spec set, so plan on water and light-liquid service and do not assume it is suitable for heavier chemicals. Fitting sizes and port locations are not published in our data for this SKU, so read them off the technical drawing on this page or confirm by phone before you order bulkheads or gaskets. If you are still deciding on volume, run your daily draw and refill numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide so 130 gallons matches real demand rather than a guess.
Weight and mounting
Empty, this tank moves by hand. Filled, it is a fixed load: 130 gallons of water weighs roughly 1,084 pounds concentrated over that 17 x 49 inch base. Set it on a flat, fully supporting, level pad rated for that mass. Because the slimline shape is tall and narrow relative to its width, a stable, non-tipping foundation matters more here than on a squat round tank, and it should never carry weight on its fittings or bridge across an uneven surface. For elevated or gravity-feed setups, size the stand to the full-water weight, not the empty shell.
