The Enduraplas 6011 gallon green vertical storage tank is built for bulk water storage where using several smaller tanks would mean more plumbing, more pumps, and more failure points. Molded in green polyethylene, this vertical storage tank stands about 12 feet in diameter and 110 inches (roughly 9 ft 2 in) tall, holds 6,011 gallons, and is rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, so it carries dense contents well beyond plain water without stressing the wall.
Will it work for your site?
Start with the load, because on a tank this size the foundation matters as much as the tank. Filled with plain water, the tank and its contents weigh roughly 50,132 lb total. Push it to the full 1.9 SG rating and the contents alone can reach about 95,250 lb, so the loaded weight climbs higher still and the pad has to be sized for the heaviest thing you actually plan to store. That means a level, engineered foundation carrying the full loaded weight across the 12 ft round footprint. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework for above-ground polyethylene tanks, and the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you confirm this capacity fits your draw and refill cycle before you commit. For rural fire-protection reservoirs, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows where a tank this size fits in a banded storage train.
Fittings and configuration
Confirm all fitting sizes, thread types, and gasket requirements against the technical drawing on this page before you plumb the site. Verify the outlet, overflow, and any bulkhead or manway locations shown there, and match them to your inlet and pipe runs so the layout lines up with what actually ships. On a tank of this scale, getting the outlet elevation and bulkhead placement right the first time saves a lot of rework, since you are not moving a 12-foot tank once it is set and filling.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank this large is underbuilding the foundation. The 1.9 SG rating tells you the wall is engineered for dense liquids, but that rating is only meaningful if the pad can carry the full loaded weight. Do not set this tank on bare soil, on gravel that has not been compacted and engineered, or on a pad sized only for water weight if you plan to store anything heavier. Size the foundation for the real contents you intend to store.
This tank ships LTL freight, quoted live to your ZIP from the nearest Enduraplas plant we stock from - Converse, TX or Neche, ND - so the origin closest to you sets the rate.
