The Snyder Industries 5000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank in green is built for high-volume bulk water storage where the footprint governs the job as much as the capacity. Molded from high-density linear polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated to a 1.0 specific gravity, it holds 5,000 gallons in a cylinder that measures 119 inches in diameter and stands 116 inches tall. That 119-inch (nearly 10-foot) diameter is the dimension that drives your site access and pad layout, so plan delivery and clearances around it first. This green configuration shows up often in rural water storage, irrigation, and fire-reserve service.
Will it work for your site?
Plan your slab and your fill schedule around real numbers. The footprint is 119.0 x 119.0 inches, and at full capacity this vertical storage tank carries 41,700 pounds of water on that pad — that is the maximum rated contents weight, so the ground under it has to be engineered, not assumed. A poured pad is the standard approach here, and the loading math is worth running before you order. See Concrete Pad Sizing for Above-Ground Polyethylene Tanks for the ACI framework, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator or the Tank Sizing Guide if you are still deciding between 5,000 gallons and a smaller or larger water storage tank.
Common service and outlet configuration
This size is a workhorse for rural water storage, irrigation supply, and private fire-protection reserves. If you are sizing a fire-water reservoir for a remote site, the NFPA 22 reasoning and freeze-protection notes in our Fire-Water Reservoir Tank Design guide shows where a 5,000-gallon poly tank fits in the stack. For grey-water, rainwater, and HVAC condensate aggregation, our Industrial Water Reuse Tank Topology guide covers reuse-capable storage trains. Outlet and fitting configuration is not specified in this listing, so confirm thread size, bulkhead location, and gasket material with us at 866-418-1777 before you order rather than assuming a size.
The mistake to avoid
The biggest error on a tank this size is putting it into service without a hydrostatic acceptance test. Fill it with water, monitor the pad for settlement, and check the outlet connection for leaks before you trust it — a 41,700-pound load that settles unevenly can crack a slab or stress a fitting. Our Hydrostatic Test Methodology guide covers the fill discipline and hold-time math. This tank is rated for 1.0 specific gravity, which means plain water and water-weight contents. If your contents run heavier than 1.0 SG — most chemicals, brines, and liquid fertilizers do — this tank is not rated for them; call 866-418-1777 for a 1.5-or-higher SG-rated tank instead.
This 5,000-gallon vertical water tank ships LTL freight from the Snyder Industries plant in Merced, CA — a single West Coast origin, so the quote scales with your distance from that point. We quote it live to your ZIP code, and you can get a number before you commit using the Freight Cost Estimator. Questions on fit, sizing, or delivery?
