The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Liquid Storage Tank is an 86 in. diameter by 55 in. tall white polyethylene tank built for above-ground bulk water and liquid storage. It carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is the heaviest-duty wall in this vertical line, so when buyers search for a vertical storage tank that holds a full liquid column without flexing, this is the spec sheet that answers it. Because this is a round tank, the 86 in. diameter equals the 86 x 86 in. footprint envelope (the bounding square of the circle, not a square tank), and the low 55 in. height keeps it stable for wind loading and tucks it under low eaves or inside a pump house.
Will it work for your site?
This Snyder vertical tank holds 1,100 gallons. Filled with water it weighs about 9,174 lb, and at its full 1.9 SG rating the rated contents reach roughly 17,431 lb. Those numbers drive your foundation: a tank this heavy needs a level, continuously supported base that carries the full loaded weight, not just the empty shell. Read our concrete pad sizing guide before you pour, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator with the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 1,100 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle. See the technical drawing on this page for dimensional callouts.
What it's good for
This is a workhorse white vertical tank for non-potable water storage, rural and remote fire-water reservoir duty, irrigation supply, and general bulk liquid holding. The 1.9 SG rating means the wall is built for liquids heavier than water, so it also serves as a vertical storage tank for denser solutions when the chemistry is compatible. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reservoir or planning for cold-climate service, our fire-water reservoir design guide walks through NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection. For deeper spec reading on 1,100-gallon vertical tanks, see our related buyer's guides here and here (confirm the on-page 86 x 55 dimensions against your layout, as those guides cover sibling configurations).
The mistake to avoid
Do not undersize your foundation, and do not assume a fitting layout. This listing does not specify a factory fitting configuration, so confirm outlet, bulkhead, and lid size, count, and placement with a tank specialist before you order. The white tint passes some light, so for any application sensitive to algae growth, plan for shading or a tank-cleaning schedule. And while the 1.9 SG wall handles heavy liquids, the specific gravity rating describes wall strength, not chemical resistance: any liquid heavier than or more aggressive than water must be checked against the polyethylene resin before you fill.
