Above Ground Water Storage Tanks
Explore how custom made fiberglass above ground water storage tanks are a long-lasting way to safely store large amounts of liquids.
Above Ground Water Storage Tanks
Our custom made above ground fiberglass water storage tanks offer a robust solution for storing water and various chemicals. Engineered to resist expansion and cracking, these tanks provide long-lasting performance in diverse environmental conditions, including exposure to rain, wind, sand, and sunlight. Their non-corrosive nature ensures structural integrity over time, making them ideal for both residential and industrial applications.
Why Choose Fiberglass Over Other Tank Materials?
Compared to plastic, steel, or flexible tank options, fiberglass tanks deliver superior long-term durability and environmental resistance. Their rigid structure withstands high temperatures, UV exposure, and long-term outdoor placement, making them one of the strongest and most reliable above ground tank options available.
Additional benefits include corrosion resistance, zero conductivity, and built-in UV inhibitor protection with color-matched integral pigmentation for long-lasting performance and appearance. Fiberglass tanks are also up to 75% lighter than many alternative materials, with a higher strength-to-weight ratio that helps lower shipping, handling, and installation costs.
Other fiberglass uses include:
- Fiberglass septic tanks
- Underground fiberglass storage tanks
- Fiberglass basins for wastewater and chemical processing
- NSF Certified
Tank Specifications & Dimensions
Our fiberglass above ground storage tanks are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations to meet different site and application requirements. Vertical tanks typically range from approximately 60 to 6,000 gallons, while horizontal tanks range from 25 to 6,000 gallons, with additional custom options available.
Who Uses Above Ground Fiberglass Water Storage Tanks?
Municipal & Rural Water Systems
Utility engineers and water system operators use fiberglass tanks for potable water storage, fire protection reserves, and backup supply in small towns, rural districts, and remote communities. They value non-corrosive construction, long service life, and the ability to position tanks above ground in harsh climates without extensive foundations or site work.
Commercial & Industrial Facilities
Facilities, maintenance, and EHS teams in manufacturing plants, warehouses, data centers, and processing facilities rely on fiberglass tanks for process water, washdown water, greywater, and compatible chemical storage. High strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to cracking, denting, and blistering help keep operations running with minimal maintenance and predictable performance.
Agricultural, Residential & Remote Sites
Growers, ranchers, property owners, and contractors use these tanks for irrigation supply, livestock watering, rainwater collection, and emergency water storage in locations where access, weather, or soil conditions make traditional materials difficult to install. Lightweight fiberglass construction simplifies delivery and placement while still holding a large volume of water or compatible liquids.

Applications for Fiberglass Water Storage Tanks
Each fiberglass tank is manufactured using a custom resin formulation designed to meet the requirements of the specific liquid being stored. For potable water storage, optional filtration systems help maintain drinking water safety and purity. Fiberglass above ground storage tanks are trusted across residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial sectors for the safe containment of:
- Potable and drinking water storage for residential, agricultural, commercial, and municipal systems
- Dedicated fire protection water reserves for hydrants, sprinkler systems, and emergency response staging
- Greywater capture, equalization, and reuse systems for irrigation, flushing, and other non-potable uses
- Corrosion-resistant storage of compatible process chemicals, treatment additives, and industrial solutions
- Non-potable wastewater, septic, and effluent holding in remote, temporary, or hard-to-service locations
