The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is a rugged polyethylene vessel built for reliable bulk water storage on farms, job sites, remote fire-water reserves, and industrial water-reuse trains. It holds 300 gallons in a compact round cylinder that measures 35 inches in diameter and stands 82 inches tall, so it fits tight equipment rooms and pad corners while giving you real vertical capacity. The black polyethylene wall blocks light to discourage algae growth in stored water, and the tank carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating - a structural spec that rates the shell for dense contents up to 4,754 pounds.
Will it work for your site?
Filled with water, this 300 gallon vertical storage tank carries about 2,502 pounds of contents, while its wall is rated to hold dense contents up to 4,754 pounds. Size your foundation to that shell rating, not just the water weight: a fully loaded tank of this size needs a level, continuously supported base. For above-ground installs on a poured pad, our concrete pad sizing guide walks through the ACI 360R-10 framework so the slab actually supports the full 4,754 lb rating. If you are still deciding between capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match gallons to real draw-down and refill needs.
Common uses and sizing
At 300 gallons on a 35-inch-diameter footprint, this vertical tank is a workhorse for non-potable water holding, rainwater collection, and staged storage in grey-water or condensate-recovery systems. If you are building a reuse train that aggregates multiple water sources, our guide on industrial water reuse tank topology shows how quality-banded storage stages fit together. For rural and remote fire-protection reserves, the fire-water reservoir design guide covers NFPA 22 sizing discipline and freeze protection for cold-climate service. Reference the technical drawing on this page for exact fitting locations and overall dimensions before you plumb the tank.
