The Bushman 2800 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in black (SKU TC9598IW-BLACK) is a bulk polyethylene tank built for above-ground stationary water storage. It stands 98 inches tall on a verified 95 x 95 inch footprint, giving you a substantial reservoir on a compact-for-capacity base. The dimensions on this listing are verified, so you can plan your pad and clearances against real numbers rather than estimates. If you are still deciding whether 2,800 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit.
Will it work for your site?
This is a vertical bulk water tank in the 2,800-gallon class, suited to general above-ground water storage such as rural water reserves, rainwater and reuse collection, hauled-water fill, and process makeup water. This listing is rated for water (specific gravity 1.0) service; if you are storing a heavier-than-water liquid, confirm the tank's specific-gravity rating before ordering. Filled to capacity with water, the tank plus its contents reaches 23,352 lb (11.68 tons), so the pad and soil beneath it have to carry that full load without settling. Size and pour your foundation for the loaded weight, not the empty shell. For above-ground poly tanks the pad detail matters as much as the tank, which is why our guide on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework is worth reading before install.
Fittings and configuration
Fitting and manway configuration is not listed on this record. Call 866-418-1777 to confirm inlet and outlet sizes and positions before you plan plumbing, and consult the technical drawing on this page for the vertical profile so you can match it against your site layout.
Freight and delivery
A tank this size ships LTL freight on a dedicated pallet or skid and will not travel by parcel. Freight is quoted separately from the tank price to your delivery ZIP via the Freight Estimator. Plan for a liftgate or on-site equipment to receive it, since even empty the tank is a large, tall unit. Get an exact number through our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 and we will work the delivery details with you.
The mistake to avoid
The most common miss on a 2,800-gallon vertical is underbuilding the foundation. Empty, the tank is easy to move and set; full, it is 23,352 lb pressing straight down on a 95 x 95 inch footprint. A pad that looked fine dry can crack or tilt once the tank is filled, which stresses fittings and distorts the geometry the drawing depends on. Before your first fill, do a controlled hydrostatic fill and watch for pad settlement and fitting leaks, as laid out in our hydrostatic test methodology. If this tank is headed into a rural fire-protection or industrial reuse role, our writeups on fire-water reservoir design and industrial water reuse topology will help you place it correctly in the system.
