The Enduraplas 2500 Gallon Green Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV02500G) is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and non-hazardous liquid storage. It holds 2,500 gallons in a 90-inch by 90-inch footprint and stands 113 inches tall, so plan your site clearance and pad accordingly. The green color cuts light penetration to slow algae growth in stored water, and the tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating.
Will this vertical storage tank work for your site?
Start with weight, not just gallons. Filled with water, this vertical tank puts roughly 20,850 pounds on your foundation; at its 1.9 specific gravity ceiling it can hold contents up to about 39,615 pounds. Put those side by side - 20,850 lb full of water versus 39,615 lb at the 1.9 SG maximum - and you can see why the pad, not the gallon count, drives your site prep. Plan a pad at least 90 in x 90 in (a 7.5-foot square) plus working clearance, and confirm the base carries your worst-case load before delivery. Our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you check the numbers, and our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework for a poured base.
Common uses and sizing
At 2,500 gallons, this is a common size for rural water supply, irrigation, agricultural draw, and fire-water reserve. If you are building a private fire-protection reservoir, our write-up on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, and condensate aggregation trains, see our guide on industrial water reuse tank topology. Check the technical drawing on this page for the tank's dimensioned layout before you finalize your footprint.
The mistake to avoid
Do not size your foundation to the water weight alone if you may ever store a denser liquid. This tank is rated to 1.9 specific gravity, meaning the polyethylene shell can hold contents heavier than water - but your pad has to carry that heavier load too. Match the tank's rating to your contents and your foundation, and confirm the fitting sizes and outlet placement against the technical drawing before you plumb anything.
