The Snyder Industries 200 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a 200-gallon polyethylene vertical built for water and general bulk storage where you need real capacity in a tight footprint. It stands 53 inches tall on a 36 x 36 inch base, so it tucks into a corner of a pump house, equipment shed, or fire-water setup without sprawling. The natural white wall allows approximate level visibility so you can eyeball where the liquid sits, and the 1.9 specific gravity rating is the headroom that makes this a heavy-duty vertical rather than a light water-only vessel.
Will this tank work for your job?
Plan your slab and stand around the loaded weight, not the empty shell. Filled with water this 200 gallon tank carries roughly 1,668 pounds of contents. The 1.9 specific gravity rating lets it hold up to about 3,169 pounds of denser contents at full volume, and you can reproduce that number directly: 200 gal x 8.34 lb/gal x 1.9 SG is approximately 3,169 pounds, versus 1,668 pounds for plain water. That 1.9 SG rating is why this is a heavy duty vertical storage tank instead of a standard water tank: the wall is built to carry liquids heavier than water. The 36.0 x 36.0 inch footprint is what your concrete pad or platform has to support, and it must stay flat and fully continuous under the entire base. To match tank volume to your draw and refill cycle, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide; for the pad itself, see our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks. Outlet and fitting sizes and locations are not published in this listing: they are shown on the technical drawing on this page and confirmed at order, so reference that drawing before you cut any plumbing.
The mistake to avoid
Do not size this tank by empty weight or by water alone. The number that governs your foundation is the loaded weight, and with the 1.9 SG headroom this vertical can legitimately hold heavier liquid than water, which pushes that figure toward the 3,169 pound rated load. Build the pad and any tie-downs for the full rated load, keep the base supported across its entire 36 x 36 inch footprint, and never set a vertical tank on a partial or uneven surface. If you are running this 200 gallon tank in a private fire-protection or rural reservoir role, our writeup on fire-water reservoir tank design for rural and remote sites covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For larger water-reuse and aggregation systems, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide shows how a vertical storage tank like this fits a quality-banded storage train.
Freight
This vertical storage tank ships LTL from a single Snyder plant in Merced, California, so buyers east of the Rockies should pull a live quote before ordering rather than assuming a flat rate. Freight is quoted live to your ZIP and is not baked into the list price. Get a real number with the Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it to your delivery address and confirm the right tank for your application.
