The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical storage tank built for bulk water and high-density liquid duty. It holds 2,000 gallons, stands 84 inches tall, and sits on a 96 x 96 inch footprint. Plan your pad around that footprint, and allow clearance above the 84-inch height for the top fitting and fill access before you order. The black resin blocks sunlight to suppress algae growth, which is why this model is a common pick for outdoor fresh-water storage, fire-water reserve, and industrial water reuse setups.
Will this tank handle your liquid?
This Snyder vertical tank carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, well above the 1.0 of water. Filled with water, the contents weigh roughly 16,680 pounds; at the full 1.9 SG rating the tank is engineered to hold contents weighing up to 31,692 pounds. That headroom is what makes it a heavy-duty unit rather than a basic water-only vessel. If you are storing anything heavier than water - brine, liquid fertilizer, or other dense solutions up to 1.9 SG - this heavy-duty wall is rated for it where a standard 1.5 SG water tank would be over-stressed. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and our Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 2,000 gallons matches your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit.
Mounting and site prep
Foundation matters at this weight. A flat, level, fully supporting pad is required - this is not a tank to set on bare or uneven ground. Size your pad for your actual service weight, up to 31,692 pounds at the full 1.9 SG rating, not just the 16,680-pound water figure, or you will under-build the slab. For pour specifics, read Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks, which walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework and where the ACI 318 boundary applies. Outlet, bulkhead fitting, and gasket configuration is confirmed at order - check the technical drawing on this page for available port locations, then call 866-418-1777 to spec the fittings and gaskets for your plumbing before you buy.
Where it fits
The capacity and footprint make this a workhorse for several jobs. For rural and remote fire-water reserve, see Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design for Rural and Remote Sites for NFPA 22 sizing discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, our Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide covers quality-banded storage trains. Comparing brands at this size?

This 2000 gallon Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Chowchilla, California plant, with the cost quoted live to your ZIP code. Shipping originates from California, so freight to eastern ZIPs runs higher - get your exact number with our Freight Cost Estimator before you budget, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote it for you. The most common mistake at this size is underbuilding the foundation: a fully loaded tank can put more than fifteen tons of dense liquid onto a single pad, so set it on a properly engineered slab and your tank will outlast the install.
