Modern septic tanks are most frequently made from either concrete or high density polyethylene, abbreviated HDPE. HDPE is a heavy duty grade plastic used to make many products, including septic tanks in both underground and above ground tank styles. Due to the strength and versatility of HDPE, plastic septic tanks come in a wide range of volume capacities and measurement dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contrary to some thoughts, HDPE plastic septic tanks<\/strong><\/a> make excellent choices for onsite waste management systems for both homes and businesses. Compared to concrete tanks, plastic septic tanks cost less, are easier to transport and install, are more resistant to cracking and weathering, and come in many shapes, volumes, and sizes to meet any application\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the wide range of available options for underground and above ground septic tanks, shopping and comparing specifications can be challenging and time-consuming. To help, we have compiled a septic tank sizes chart of the most common tank capacities and measurements. The chart includes the liquid surface area supplied by the septic tank\u2019s dimensions to help select the right tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
