The Bushman 250 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is a plastic tank built for dependable liquid storage in a compact footprint. It holds 250 gallons on a 31" x 31" base and stands 84" tall, so it tucks into the corner of a barn, pump house, utility room, or equipment yard while still giving you real reserve capacity. If you are sizing storage against your actual draw and refill schedule, run the numbers first with our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide.
Will it work for my setup?
This is a 250-gallon vertical storage tank measuring 84 inches tall on a 31 x 31 inch square footprint. Filled with water it carries roughly 2,085 pounds, so plan for a level, load-rated pad or slab. Spread across the full 31 x 31 base, that full-water load works out to about 2.2 psi of bearing pressure, which is the figure to check when you size a slab or confirm a floor or mezzanine rating. The tall, narrow profile keeps the ground footprint small, which makes it a practical choice where floor space is tight but overhead clearance is available. Confirm your clearance to the 84-inch height before you place it, especially under low roof lines or shelving.
What should I avoid getting wrong?
The most common mistake on a tall vertical tank like this is the base. A partially supported or uneven pad concentrates that 2,085-pound full-water load on one edge and stresses the tank wall over time. Give it continuous, flat support across the whole 31 x 31 footprint. This tank is set up for water and general liquid storage; if you are considering it for a chemical, verify the resin and specific gravity rating for your fluid before you commit, and call us so we match you to the right tank.
