The Snyder Industries 710 gallon vertical storage tank is a closed-top, vented black ASTM XLPE (crosslinked linear polyethylene) tank rated to 1.9 specific gravity, standing 68 inches tall on a 60 x 60 inch footprint. That combination of a heavy-duty crosslinked wall and a high 1.9 SG rating makes it a serious vertical storage tank for water and dense contents alike, and the black resin blocks light to discourage algae growth in stored water.
Will this tank work for your site?
At 710 gallons the tank holds roughly 5,921 pounds of water when full, while its wall is rated to carry contents weighing up to 11,251 pounds at the 1.9 specific gravity maximum. In other words the wall is built to hold nearly double the weight of plain water, and that headroom is exactly what you are paying for in a crosslinked 1.9-SG tank versus a standard 1.0-SG HDPE unit. Plan your pad and anchoring around those numbers: at 60 x 60 inches this tank concentrates real weight on a small footprint, so a level, load-rated base matters. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 710 gallon capacity and dimensions fit your reservoir target before you order.
Fittings and access
Per the technical drawing on this page, the tank comes configured with a flange, an 18-inch PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15-inch access. That vented fitting is important on a storage tank: it lets the tank breathe as it fills and drains so you don't pull a vacuum or pressurize the dome. The 15-inch manway access supports interior inspection and cleaning. The flange and manway seal on gaskets, so confirm gasket material and bolt-up against the technical drawing before you plumb, since fitting and gasket compatibility is what decides whether a connection holds.
XLPE vs HDPE and usable volume
This is a crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) tank, not standard HDPE. Crosslinking builds a tougher, more impact- and stress-crack-resistant wall, which is why the 1.9 SG rating is available here. If you are weighing wall chemistry, our guide on Snyder XLPE vs HDPE: when crosslinking matters walks through where crosslinking earns its keep, and the Snyder Captor freeboard sizing guide covers the difference between nameplate and the volume you can actually use. For fire-water and rural reservoir sizing, see our fire-water reservoir design guide, and for pad engineering under a filled tank of this weight, review concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks.
Freight and ordering
This Snyder vertical storage tank ships LTL freight from a single California plant in Chowchilla, so distance is the dominant cost driver and freight is quoted live to your ZIP code rather than included in the list price. Pull a live number with our Freight Cost Estimator or call 866-418-1777 before you commit. The most common mistake on a tank this size is underbuilding the base: match your pad and anchoring to the full 11,251 pound rated load, not just the water weight, before delivery day.
