The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene bulk-water tank standing 90 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch square footprint. It holds 1,100 gallons and carries a 1.5 specific-gravity rating, so it is engineered to hold contents up to one and a half times the density of water without exceeding its design load. For a farm, ranch, fire-reserve, or industrial water program that needs a tall, compact vertical footprint, this is a straightforward, heavy-duty storage tank.
Will it work for your site?
Start with weight, because a full tank governs your pad and your placement. Filled with plain water this vertical tank weighs about 9,174 pounds, and at its maximum rated 1.5 SG contents it reaches roughly 13,761 pounds. That load sits on a 64 x 64 inch base, so plan a level, continuously supported foundation rated for the full contents weight - a properly sized concrete pad is the usual answer, and our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI framework. The 90-inch height means you should confirm overhead clearance and fill access before you set it. To pin down the right capacity for your draw and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide.
The black polyethylene advantage
The black exterior blocks light, which suppresses the algae growth that plagues translucent and light-colored tanks in outdoor water storage - a practical reason many operators choose a black vertical tank for exposed above-ground service. If your program is fire-protection reserve, our rural fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and cold-climate freeze protection; if you are aggregating grey-water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate for reuse, our water reuse tank topology guide maps out staged storage trains.
The mistake to avoid
Do not undersize the foundation. Operators size the pad for the empty tank or for water weight and forget the 1.5 SG rating - at maximum rated contents this storage tank pushes nearly 13,761 pounds through that 64-inch square base. Build the pad and choose the location for the full rated load, not the water weight.
