The Bushman 1150 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in dark brown stands 90 inches tall on a 63-inch-diameter footprint, holding 1,150 gallons in a single polyethylene vertical storage tank. It is built and ships from Fairfield, Texas, which makes it a practical water storage tank for projects across Texas and the surrounding region. This page answers the three things that decide the purchase: whether the tank fits your site and your water, what it costs to get it to you, and the one detail people most often get wrong on a tank this size.
Will it work for your site and your water
At 90 inches tall and 63 inches across, this is a tall, compact vertical tank that puts 1,150 gallons over a small ground footprint, a good fit where floor space is tight but vertical clearance is available. Plan your access and any overhead structure around that 90-inch height before you set it. The tank is molded from polyethylene and rated for a specific gravity of 1.0, so it is for water-density contents only: do not store denser liquids such as fertilizer, brine, or chemicals in it, which need a tank rated above 1.0 specific gravity. Size the volume against your actual draw and refill cycle with the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide so you neither overbuy nor run short between fills. This listing does not specify the molded inlet, outlet, and lid sizes, so confirm the exact fitting sizes and that outlet gaskets or seals are included for your plumbing before you order, by calling the number below.
Setting it on a proper base
A vertical tank holding this much water needs a flat, fully supporting base under the entire 63-inch-diameter footprint. The water alone weighs 9,591 pounds when the tank is full, which is also the maximum rated contents weight, so size the pad to carry that plus the empty tank shell. A level concrete pad engineered for the load is the most reliable foundation. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework for getting that pad right, and if you are storing rainwater rather than municipal supply, the Bushman rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter guide covers the upstream side of the system. The technical drawing on this page shows the molded dimensions for layout planning.
Freight and how to order
This tank ships LTL freight from the Fairfield, Texas plant, quoted live to your ZIP code rather than bundled into the listed price. Run your delivery address through the Freight Cost Estimator for a real number to your site, and plan for a truck and an offload plan on arrival, since a tank this size cannot be hand-carried. If you are weighing this 1,150-gallon vertical against other storage tank sizes, or coordinating it into a larger build, our water reuse tank topology and fire-water reservoir design guides cover the broader system. For sizing questions, freight estimates, denser-than-water service, or help confirming this is the right vertical storage tank for your project, call 866-418-1777 and we will work through it with you.
