The Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in black holds 5,000 gallons of water for residential, agricultural, fire-reserve, and bulk-storage service. This is the 102 x 102 inch (square footprint) variant standing 159 inches tall, molded in High Density Linear Polyethylene with a 1.0 specific gravity rating and sized for water and water-weight contents. It is a serious vertical storage tank: filled to capacity it carries 41,700 pounds, so the pad and siting matter as much as the tank itself.
Will it work for your site?
The black resin blocks light, which slows algae growth in standing water compared to translucent tanks, so this tank suits long-term water storage and reservoir duty. At 159 inches tall it needs vertical clearance and an overhead fill plan, and the square 102 x 102 inch footprint defines the slab you will pour or level. The 1.0 specific gravity rating means this tank is engineered for water and other contents at or below the weight of water; it is not rated for heavier-than-water chemical service. If you need a higher specific-gravity tank for denser contents, call 866-418-1777 before ordering. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm 5,000 gallons fits your draw-down and refill cycle before you commit.
The one thing not to get wrong
Plan the foundation around the full weight, not the empty tank. The maximum rated contents weight is 41,700 pounds — water at 1.0 specific gravity — so the base must be a level, continuously supported, engineered pad rated for 41,700 pounds plus your own safety factor: a reinforced concrete pad or properly compacted sand bed. Polyethylene vertical tanks flex and settle; an uneven or undersized pad concentrates stress at the base and shortens tank life. Get the pad right and the tank does its job for decades. Fitting and outlet configuration for this SKU is confirmed at quote, so call 866-418-1777 to lock in the outlet and lid setup with your order rather than assuming a standard arrangement. If you are sizing for fire protection or planning a multi-source reuse train, our guides on fire-water reservoir design and NFPA 22 sizing and industrial water reuse tank topology walk through the engineering decisions before purchase.
Freight
This 5000 gallon vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from the Albertville, Alabama plant, quoted live to your ZIP code. Because of its height and footprint it moves as a single oversized unit, so freight is priced per destination rather than bundled into the listed price. Get a real number for your address with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call 866-418-1777 and we will quote the tank and the LTL freight to your delivery point.
