The Snyder Industries 300 Gallon Plastic Vertical Water Storage Tank in Green is a 300-gallon polyethylene vertical tank built for above-ground bulk water storage. It stands 72 inches tall on a square 36 x 36 inch footprint and carries a 1.0 specific gravity rating, which covers fresh water. Filled to capacity it holds 2,502 pounds of water, so the pad and tie-downs under it have to be sized for that loaded weight, not the empty shell.
- Capacity: 300 gallons
- Footprint: 36" x 36"
- Height: 72"
- Full water weight: 2,502 lb
- Material: polyethylene
- Specific gravity rating: 1.0
Will this tank work for your site?
At 36 x 36 inches square and 72 inches tall, this is a compact-footprint vertical storage tank that fits tight equipment pads, pump houses, and the corner of a barn or utility shed while still holding 300 gallons. The 1.0 specific gravity rating is matched to water — if your fluid is heavier than water, that 1.0 rating is your hard ceiling, so confirm the required SG before ordering rather than assuming this listing covers it. To check the size against your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator or work through the Tank Sizing Guide before you commit. For a same-size walkthrough, the 300 gallon green water tank buyer's guide covers what to look at on a tank this size. Rated for non-potable water storage; no potable or NSF-61 certification is claimed for this listing.
The full-water weight is the number that matters
The mistake to avoid on a 300 gallon tank is under-building the base. A full tank puts 2,502 pounds onto that 36 x 36 inch footprint, and the load needs a flat, fully supported, level surface — concrete, a properly compacted pad, or an engineered stand rated for the full contents weight. Poly tanks do not tolerate point loads or a base that bridges a gap; the floor has to support the entire bottom. For the pad itself, our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks walks through the framework.
Common uses for a 300-gallon vertical
A square-footprint 300-gallon vertical storage tank like this fits non-potable water storage, rural and remote-site supply, rainwater capture, and reuse-train staging. For fire-protection reserve sizing on private and rural systems, the fire-water reservoir tank design guide covers NFPA 22 discipline and cold-climate freeze protection. If you are aggregating grey water, rainwater, or HVAC condensate into quality-banded storage, the industrial water reuse tank topology guide maps out how a tank like this fits the train.
