Sandbaggy Sandbags

Heavy duty, with UV protection: These rugged long-lasting sandbags are made for heavy-duty applications & can sit under direct sunlight for 1-2 years before they began to degrade. Compared to standard sandbags with a 6 month life, these long-lasting sandbags can last 2-3 times longer. These structurally durable sandbags will not rupture if driven over by cars. Manufactured from high-density polyethylene materials, each strand is a single filament. The non-deformable filaments are woven in a specific pattern and fusion welded for extra strength. Excellent for heavy duty applications like sandbagging, landscaping and construction.

Sandbags Filling Tips:

1. Fill sandbags and tie the bag at the top (lay flat when in place).. This sandbag should weigh between 35-40 lbs. An overfilled sandbag weighs between 60-75 lbs and will leave gaps which will allow water to seep through.
2. Always wear gloves during filling operation to avoid hand injuries and protect from contaminants in sand and floodwater. Safety goggles should be used on dry and windy days. Filling sandbags is physically demanding work and can easily cause back and other injuries if not careful. Always lift with your legs and not your back. Do not reach out, bend over, or twist when lifting.
3. Do not throw sandbags - it stresses the back and shoulders. Rather use a brigade line to pass bags
4. Use a short handled, #2 rounded point shovel with straight shaft and D grip, bagger scoop or funnel to fill sandbags.
5. Remove any debris from the areas where the sandbags will be placed. After placing the sandbag, walk on sandbags to create a tight seal between each bag.

Fill Materials

• Sandbaggy sandbags are built to withstand both gravel or sand. Be aware of poor quality sandbags that rupture when filled with sharp gravel rocks. Watch the video on this page to learn more about the fill material of these sandbags.
• Gravel should be filled in sandbag when used as an erosion control device (on slopes). Sand should be filled for flood control needs, whether to protect doors or garage or to divert water. Please note that there will be small amounts of leakage when filling burlap bags with sand. This does not affect the overall usability of the bag however. If sand or gravel is not accessible, less effective solutions is to fill the sandbags with backyard soil.
• 1 cubic yard – amount of sand/gravel it takes to fill 75 40-pound bags
