The 200 Gallon Plastic Water Storage Tank from Norwesco stands 59 inches tall on a 35-inch diameter footprint, holding 200 gallons of water in a black polyethylene vertical tank built for outdoor and indoor bulk water storage. The black resin blocks light to discourage algae growth, and the vertical profile keeps the footprint compact where floor or pad space is tight. If you are weighing this size against other dimensions, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Does it work for your setup?
This vertical storage tank carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which means it is built for water and water-density liquids at up to roughly 8.34 pounds per gallon. Filled to its rated 200 gallons, the contents weigh about 1,668 pounds, so the pad, slab, or platform underneath has to carry that load plus the tank itself. The 35-inch diameter footprint is the full circle your base needs to support evenly. For sizing math across capacities, the calculator and guide above let you check headroom, fill height, and footprint before delivery day. Note there is a sibling 200 gallon water storage tank in a 30" x 72" set: this 35" x 59" version is the shorter, wider tank (lower height to fill, easier overhead clearance), while the taller 30" x 72" trades a tighter footprint for more height. The dedicated buyer's guides linked below break down both.
How does it ship?
At 200 gallons this is an LTL freight item. The only stocking origin for this SKU is the Norwesco plant in Burnet, Texas, so freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the list price, and LTL cost scales with distance from central Texas — a buyer in the South-Central or Southwest will generally see lower freight than one in the Northeast. Use the Freight Cost Estimator for a delivery quote, or call 866-418-1777 to set up the shipment and confirm liftgate or limited-access requirements at your site. Fitting and outlet locations are confirmed at order time — call the same number to lock those in.
The mistake to avoid
The common error on a vertical water storage tank this size is underbuilding the foundation. People see a 35-inch diameter and assume a light, easy set, then put it on uneven gravel or an undersized pad. At 1,668 pounds full, an unlevel or soft base lets the tank lean and stresses the wall. Set it on a flat, continuous surface that supports the entire diameter. Just as important, keep service within the 1.0 specific gravity rating: this is a water tank, not a chemical tank, so denser liquids would exceed what the wall is rated to hold. If you need to store anything heavier than water — a chemical or a higher-density liquid above 1.0 SG — call 866-418-1777 and we will point you to a properly chemical-rated tank instead of pushing this one past its rating.
