The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black polyethylene vertical tank built to ASTM standards with a 1.4 specific gravity rating, so this Snyder 2000-gallon vertical tank carries plain water and heavier-than-water contents without pushing past its wall design. It stands about 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and holds its full 2,000 gallons in a single upright column, a practical shape for bulk water storage, rainwater capture, and rural fire-water reserves where floor space is tight but head height is available. Confirm the exact height and footprint against the technical drawing on this page before you pour a pad or frame an enclosure.
Will this tank work for your site?
Start with the load, not just the volume. Filled with plain water, this vertical storage tank carries roughly 16,680 lb of contents; at its full 1.4 SG rating it is engineered for up to about 23,352 lb of contents weight. That higher number is the wall and structure limit, not a target: your pad and soil have to be sized to the actual density of what you store, not the maximum rating. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,000 gallons matches your draw-and-refill cycle, and check your real liquid weight before you set the tank.
Fittings and foundation
Inlet, outlet, and vent sizing plus bulkhead-fitting and gasket selection must be confirmed from the Snyder spec sheet for this SKU rather than assumed, and any fitting gaskets have to be rated for both the stored liquid and the tank's SG service. On the base, a vertical tank this size lives or dies on its foundation: the 90 x 90 inch footprint needs to sit fully supported on a level, continuous surface. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the ACI framework, and if this is a rural fire-water reserve, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing and freeze protection.
