The Snyder Industries 1000 Gallon Vertical Straight Wall Water Storage Tank in Black is a 1,000-gallon vertical water storage tank molded from high-density linear polyethylene, sized for bulk water storage where you need real capacity on a compact pad. It stands 89 inches tall on a round, 60-inch-diameter body and carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, the correct rating for water and water-based contents at or near the density of water.
Will it work for your site
Filled to capacity, this tank holds roughly 8,340 pounds of water, so your pad, ring, or slab has to be engineered to carry that static load fully supported and level. Because the base is a round 60-inch-diameter footprint, plan a level pad at least 60 inches across (the 60 x 60 figure is the bounding square, not a flat square base). The black exterior blocks light through the wall, which slows algae growth in stored water compared with translucent tanks and makes it a practical choice for outdoor water storage, irrigation, fire-reserve, rainwater, and reuse applications. Size to your actual usable draw-down and refill cycle rather than nameplate capacity by running your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator or working through the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Spec summary
Capacity is 1,000 gallons of water storage in a vertical straight-wall design. Outside dimensions are 89 inches tall by 60 inches in diameter. The shell is high-density linear polyethylene in black with a 1.0 specific gravity rating, and full-water weight is about 8,340 pounds. Fitting, inlet, and outlet placement should be confirmed for your plumbing before you order this 1000 gallon vertical storage tank; if you need to verify the bulkhead and outlet configuration, call 866-418-1777 and we will confirm it before the order goes in.
Common mistakes to avoid
The two errors that cause the most trouble on a tank this size are foundation and density. First, set it on a fully supported, level pad rated for the full 8,340-pound water load. A vertical tank this tall is unforgiving of an uneven or undersized base, and partial support concentrates stress on the wall. Second, respect the 1.0 specific gravity rating. This is a water tank engineered for water storage and low-density water-based liquids, not for denser chemicals that would require a higher-SG-rated body. If you are storing anything other than water, confirm the contents density against the rating first. For freeze-prone sites, also plan for cold-climate protection before the first winter fill.
