## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this barrier be shaped in a circle or semi-circle after it is filled?**
A: The Standard (4" high) and Ultras (6" high) are capable of some movement and re-positioning after they are filled. The Supreme and Titan sizes are too heavy and cannot be moved after being filled. Creating a complete circle with a single barrier would not be recommended however moving each end to create a U type shape is quite common. For the larger tubes we recommend you place the tubes in the place and shape that you want and then fill them.

**Q: How well does this work filling with a garden hose as opposed to buying the adapter?**
A: I fill mine with a garden hose. You just have to hold the hose against the opening to prevent being sprayed. It works fine.

**Q: Do these work on bare ground or grass, Or do they need to be on concrete as pictured?**
A: I would think they would work on both. I planned to use on concrete but taking them out of the package I think they will work on both. Easier than sandbags and made out of heavy plastics.

**Q: Do your barriers absorbs the water that seeps  unto surfaces and absirbs them until you ade ready to dispose of it?**
A: These barriers do NOT absorb the water.  It just help block the water from going to certain areas. As the picture to the left shows a barrier in front of a garage door, the barrier will help keep the water from going under the garage door.
