The Enduraplas 5200 gallon vertical storage tank is a green polyethylene tank built for large-scale water storage, standing 164 inches tall (about 13.7 feet) on a roughly 100 inch diameter body with a 100 x 100 inch bounding footprint for pad layout. If you are sizing a rural fire-water reservoir, an agricultural supply tank, or a bulk process-water buffer, the specs below tell you whether it fits your pad, your ceiling height, and your load calculations.
Will this tank work for your site?
This is a 5,200 gallon vertical storage tank at 164 inches tall and roughly 100 inches in diameter (100 x 100 inch bounding footprint for pad layout). The polyethylene wall carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which means it is built with margin well beyond the weight of water, so occasional heavy sediment loading or a partially settled column will not overstress it. Filled with water, expect roughly 43,368 pounds of contents; at the tank's full 1.9 SG rating the contents can reach about 82,399 pounds. Those numbers matter before you pour a pad or plumb an outlet, because the foundation and connections have to carry the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Run your capacity and drawdown math with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit to a location.
Foundation, access, and load planning
At over 43,000 pounds of water alone, a tank this size needs a properly engineered base. A flat, fully supporting pad is not optional at this weight. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for putting a stable foundation under a vertical tank like this one. Account for the 164 inch height (about 13.7 feet) when you check overhead clearance, ladder and fill access, and any roof or overhang above the site — that same height also affects load height coming off the LTL truck. If you are building a private fire-protection reserve, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection for polyethylene storage.
The mistake to avoid
The most common misstep on a tank this large is underestimating the loaded weight and setting it on unimproved ground. Green resin here helps limit algae growth by reducing light transmission compared to a clear or translucent tank, which is useful for stored water sitting for long periods, but it does nothing to fix a settling or uneven base. One more caution before you plumb: inlet, outlet, and vent bulkhead sizes and gasket materials are not specified in this listing, so confirm your exact fitting plan with us by phone at 866-418-1777 before you order flanges or hardware. If you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or condensate into a storage train, our industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how a vertical tank of this scale fits into a banded storage system, and if this is specifically a harvesting install, our rainwater harvesting and first-flush diverter guide covers the upstream pieces.
