Troubleshooting
Sand leakage from the opening
Ensure the drawstring is pulled taut and securely tied after filling. If the drawstring is damaged, consider a temporary fix or replacement.
Bag tearing during filling or placement
Avoid overfilling beyond the 15 kg capacity. Handle the bags carefully, using the integrated straps and handle, and avoid dragging them over sharp objects.

Compatibility: These sandbags are compatible with common filling materials like dry sand, soil, or small gravel.
Care: To care for the sandbags, empty them completely after use if they have been in contact with stagnant water. Clean off any excess dirt or debris with a damp cloth.
