The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Vertical Storage Tank is molded from crosslinked linear polyethylene (XLPE) in black, standing 88 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint. XLPE gives this vertical storage tank a rugged, impact-resistant wall structure, and it carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating. This is the kind of black vertical tank people search for when they need durable, long-term above-ground water storage that stands up to outdoor placement and heavy fills.
Will it work for your site?
Filled to the full 2000 gallons, the water alone weighs about 16,680 pounds, so the pad or slab underneath has to carry that load - plus the tank shell itself - across the full 90 x 90 inch footprint. Size the foundation for 16,680 pounds of water at minimum, and confirm the shell weight from the technical drawing on this page before you pour. Polyethylene tanks want continuous, flat, full-diameter support, not point loading, so a level pad is not optional. The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the ceiling for this tank - it is the maximum contents density the wall is rated to hold, which for plain water leaves a wide margin. If you are unsure which capacity fits your draw-down and refill cycle, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math.
Fittings and the mistake to avoid
Outlet, bulkhead, and gasket configuration is not published for this SKU, so confirm fitting size, thread, and gasket material against your plumbing plan on the technical drawing or by calling 866-418-1777 before ordering. The bigger mistake is assuming XLPE means chemical-service ready. Crosslinked polyethylene resists cracking and is tougher than standard HDPE, but tougher does not mean chemical-rated - match the tank to your specific liquid first. If you are weighing XLPE against standard high-density polyethylene, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE explains when crosslinking earns its keep. For rural fire-protection storage at this size, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA-22 sizing and freeze protection, and the 2000 gallon vertical tank comparison lines this size up against the other major brands.
