Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank

The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank is a polyethylene vertical tank built for bulk water and liquid storage where you need real volume in a compact footprint. It holds 2,000 gallons, stands 88 inches tall, and sits on a 90 x 90 inch base. Because the 88-inch height is actually shorter than the 90-inch diameter, you get a low-profile tank that delivers serious capacity without sprawling across your site or towering over it. The black exterior blocks sunlight, which slows algae growth in stored water and makes it a practical choice for outdoor installations.

Will this vertical storage tank work for your job?

This is a 1.5 specific-gravity rated tank, meaning the wall is engineered to carry contents up to 1.5 times the weight of water. That rating is a structural fact you size your foundation around. Filled with water, the contents weigh roughly 16,680 pounds; at the full 1.5 SG rating the tank is built to hold contents up to 25,020 pounds. Both figures are contents-only weights from the spec data, and both matter for your pad: a tank this size needs a level, fully supporting base rated for the loaded weight. Run the numbers with the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to confirm capacity and footprint against your site before you order.

Fittings and applications

For outlet, bulkhead, and gasket sizing, read the technical drawing on this page. It shows the dimensional layout and the outlet positions and sizes, which you will want to confirm against your plumbing before you order. At 2,000 gallons this vertical tank is a workhorse for rural water reserves, agricultural supply, rainwater collection, and process or reuse water staging. If you are sizing a private fire-protection reserve, our guide on fire-water reservoir tank design covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. For water-reuse setups, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide covers grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation. Comparing brands first?

Foundation: the mistake to avoid

The single most common error on a tank this size is setting it on an undersized or uneven base. The water contents alone are over eight tons (16,680 pounds), and that load rests entirely on the footprint, so the tank must sit fully supported on a flat, continuous surface across the whole 90 x 90 inch base, not on blocks, gravel high spots, or a partial pad. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks lays out the ACI 360R-10 framework so your foundation matches the load.
