The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is molded from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) in black, rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. That combination puts it in the heavy-duty tier of vertical storage tanks: XLPE resists impact and stress-cracking better than standard HDPE, and the 1.9 SG rating means the shell is built to hold contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water without derating. For water storage where longevity and abuse tolerance matter, this is a Snyder black vertical tank that earns its keep.
Will it work for your site?
The tank holds 1,100 gallons and stands 90 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint. The shell height is 7.5 feet (90 in); allow additional headroom above that for your fill and vent line. Plan the pad around the 64-inch base, roughly 5.3 feet square. Full of water it carries about 9,174 pounds; at its maximum rated 1.9 SG contents it can hold up to 17,431 pounds. That spread is the number that governs your foundation, so size the pad for the actual loaded weight of what you store, not the water figure. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm capacity and headroom before you order, and see the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensions.
Foundation and load planning
A vertical storage tank this size lives or dies on its base. An above-ground poly tank needs a level, continuously supported pad rated for the full loaded weight, and our guide on concrete pad sizing under the ACI 360R-10 framework walks through how to size it correctly. If you are weighing crosslinked against standard polyethylene for your duty, Snyder XLPE vs HDPE explains when the crosslinking earns the upgrade. For fire-water reservoir and rural fire-protection use, the NFPA 22 sizing discipline guide covers reservoir sizing and freeze protection for cold climates.
The mistake to avoid
Do not size the pad or plan the plumbing off the water weight. The number that governs your foundation is the loaded weight at your contents' real density, which is why Snyder rates this XLPE shell to 1.9 SG rather than to water alone. Fitting placement varies by build, so confirm the outlet, bulkhead, and gasket layout with us before ordering rather than assuming a fixed configuration; call 866-418-1777 and we will match the tank to your outlet and connection needs.
