The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is a black polyethylene tank built to the ASTM D1998 standard for above-ground storage. It holds 2,000 gallons in a round vertical body that stands 84 inches tall on a 96-inch-diameter footprint, so it fits within a 96 x 96 inch pad. This is a heavy-duty vertical storage tank for water and other liquids that stay within its rated specific gravity.
Will it work for your site?
Sizing and support come first. Full of water this tank carries roughly 16,680 pounds, and at its maximum rated contents weight it reaches about 23,352 pounds. That load has to sit on a flat, fully supporting foundation - a level concrete pad engineered for the full weight, not bare or uneven soil. Our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework for above-ground poly tanks. If you are still settling on capacity, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match tank volume to your real draw and refill cycle. For rural reservoir and private fire-protection duty, our fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline for remote sites.
The specific-gravity rating - and the mistake to avoid
The most common mistake with a vertical storage tank is ignoring its specific-gravity rating. The SG rating tells you the wall is engineered for liquids up to a set density; water sits at 1.0, so this Snyder tank has real headroom for heavier contents. Before you order, confirm the exact ASTM D1998 SG rating for this model against the density of what you plan to store, and never assume a black water tank is a chemical tank - denser or aggressive chemistries may need a higher-rated tank. The Snyder freeboard sizing guide explains how ASTM D1998 density and thermal expansion affect the volume you can actually use. Comparing brands at this size?
