FAQs
How much sand should I put in each bag?
Each bag can hold approximately 25kg of sand. For flood defense, it is recommended not to overfill the bag to ensure it remains flexible enough to mold to existing sandbags and the ground.
What is the typical quantity needed for flood defense?
An average house will need about 12 filled sandbags per door to provide an effective flood defense barrier. This can vary based on the size of the door and any additional openings.
Are these bags reusable?
While they can be emptied and refilled, their primary characteristic is natural decomposition. They are best suited for temporary protection and are not designed for long-term, permanent reuse like synthetic bags.
What is the material of the sandbags?
The sandbags are made from heavy-duty natural jute fabric, also known as hessian.
Do the sandbags come with sand?
No, the sandbags are supplied empty and require filling with sand, soil, or other suitable materials.
What are the dimensions of the sandbags?
The length of the bag when empty is approximately 78cm, and when full, it reduces to about 50cm.
What other uses do these sandbags have besides flood defense?
They are also ideal for use as weights to hold down garden furniture, trampolines, road signs, netting, covers, tarpaulins, and tents.
Troubleshooting
Bag tears during filling or placement.
Ensure the filling material is not too coarse or sharp. Avoid dragging the bag forcefully across rough surfaces. Do not overfill, as this can strain the fabric.
Water seeping through the sandbag barrier.
Check if bags are packed tightly together. Ensure there are no gaps. Verify that bags are not overfilled and retain some flexibility to mold to the ground for a better seal. Consider adding more layers to the barrier.
Sandbags degrading faster than expected.
Store bags in a dry environment when not in use. Ensure bags are dry before long-term storage. Exposure to constant moisture will accelerate natural decomposition.
