The Bushman 80 Gallon Vertical Corner Tank is a slim, upright polyethylene reservoir built to tuck into a corner or against a wall where a round tank would waste floor space. It stands 63 inches tall on a compact 29 x 21 inch footprint - just 609 square inches of floor, with a 21-inch depth that clears a standard doorway or utility-room gap - so it stores a useful volume of water in a spot most tanks can't reach. Dimensions are launch-verified against Bushman's own figures; see the technical drawing on this page for the full profile.
Will it work for your site?
At 80 gallons this is a point-of-use or supplemental storage tank: a corner rainwater catch, a small fire-suppression reserve, an RV or cabin water buffer, or a narrow utility-room reservoir. The opaque shell blocks light, which slows algae growth in stored water. Before you set it, plan for the loaded weight, not the empty weight: filled with water at 8.34 lb per gallon, the tank and its contents run about 667 pounds sitting on that 29 x 21 inch footprint. That load wants a flat, continuously supported base - a level concrete pad or full-bearing platform, never point supports or a few boards. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm 80 gallons is the right draw for your refill cycle, and the concrete pad sizing guide walks through building the base correctly.
The mistake to avoid
The corner geometry is the whole point of this tank - and the easy error is treating it like a standard cylindrical vertical tank when you site it. A corner tank is tall and narrow, so it carries a higher center of gravity than a squat drum of the same volume. Anchor it against tipping, keep it fully supported underneath, and give it a base sized to the filled load. This tank carries no published specific-gravity rating, so size it for water at SG 1.0 only - don't press it into denser liquid service. If you're using it as part of a rainwater setup, size your first-flush diverter to the catchment - the Bushman rainwater harvesting guide covers that per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting. For small private fire-water reserves, the NFPA 22 reservoir design guide puts the volume in context.
