The Bushman 80 Gallon Vertical Corner Water Tank is a slim, corner-fit polyethylene tank built to hold water in tight spaces where a round vertical tank won't fit. Its rectangular corner footprint measures 29 by 21 inches and it stands 63 inches tall, so it tucks against a wall, into a garage corner, or along the edge of an equipment room and stays out of the traffic path. If you're deciding between this and a wider round tank, the corner geometry is the whole point: the same usable storage with far less floor lost to the curve. This is a tank for water and water-based storage — potable reserve, rainwater catchment, or a compact emergency supply.
Will it work for your site?
This is an 80-gallon vertical storage tank with verified dimensions of 63 in H x 29 in W x 21 in L. Filled to capacity with water it carries a full water weight of 667 pounds resting on a 29.0 x 21.0 in footprint — size your pad, shelf, or platform around that loaded number, not the empty tank. Run your gallon target through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a size; stepping up one size now is cheaper than adding a second tank later. See the technical drawing on this page for the port and outlet layout so you can confirm your plumbing lines up.
Setting it on a stable base
A narrow, tall corner tank puts a lot of loaded weight on a small footprint, so the base matters more here than on a squat tank. Set it on a flat, fully supporting surface — never on bare bricks, blocks, or an uneven slab that leaves part of the bottom unsupported. If you're pouring a new pad, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework, and the hydrostatic test methodology covers first-fill acceptance so you catch pad settlement or a weeping fitting before the tank is in service.
The mistake to avoid
Don't spec this corner tank purely on gallons and forget the height. At 63 inches tall it needs vertical clearance for the lid and any fill line above it, and its tall, narrow profile makes it more tip-sensitive when empty than a wide tank — strap or restrain it if it lives in a seismic or high-traffic area, and plan freeze protection up front in cold climates. Match the fittings and outlet you see on the drawing to your existing plumbing rather than assuming standard bulkhead sizes.
