The Enduraplas 8000 Gallon White Vertical Storage Tank (SKU THV08000W) is a large-format polyethylene vertical tank built for high-volume water storage. It holds a nominal 8,000 gallons in a natural white shell, stands 142 inches tall (about 11 ft 10 in), and occupies a 144 x 144 inch footprint - a 12-foot diameter - so it needs a genuinely large, level pad before it ever sees water. If you have been searching for a white vertical storage tank at true bulk scale, this is the size class where site prep, not the tank itself, becomes the main planning job.
Will it work for your site?
Start with the numbers that matter for a tank this big. Filled with water, the contents alone weigh 66,720 pounds, and the shell carries a specific gravity rating of 1.9 - structural headroom of up to 126,768 pounds of contents, not a chemical-service clearance. For water storage the 66,720-pound full-water figure is your working load; confirm your foundation can carry a static load at that scale before you order. Run your volume and drawdown math through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide so the 8,000-gallon capacity actually maps to your daily demand and reserve. Outlet, bulkhead, and gasket details are not published for this SKU here - call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm the exact fitting sizes and thread types before you commit, so your plumbing and offload plan match the tank you receive.
Foundation and application planning
A 12-foot-diameter tank loaded to over 33 tons demands an engineered pad, not gravel or bare soil. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for exactly this weight class. If this tank is going into a rural fire-protection reserve, read our fire-water reservoir tank design discussion for NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For capturing rainwater into this volume, our guide on first-flush diverter sizing per the Texas Manual on Rainwater Harvesting covers inlet pretreatment, and for reuse trains blending grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate, see our industrial water reuse tank topology overview.
Freight and ordering
This tank ships LTL freight and leaves from Enduraplas ship points in Converse, TX and Neche, ND, so your delivery departs from whichever is nearest to you. Northern and cold-climate buyers usually draw from the Neche, ND plant, which shortens the haul for exactly the freeze-protection installs described above.

Call 866-418-1777 and we will walk it through with you before you commit.
