Sandbags - Box of 100 - Empty Woven Polypropylene Sand Bags w/Ties, w/UV Protection; size: 14" x 26", color: Military Green

When you can buy these bags at a small fraction of the price of actual heavy duty, long-term UV resistant bags you have no grounds for them not being indestructible. It does seem like a few purchasers have been shorted, but the seller provided refunds so I thought I'd give these bags a try. I needed them as partial-season weights to hold down tarps and row cover. I got 100 bags for just $36.They are tough. One of the 100 I've spied so far had one snag. All the rest seem solid. The ties are the weakest point, but they are plenty sufficient to keep the bag closed as long as it lasts WHICH IS 66-67 DAYS AS ADVERTISED. These are cheap, quick-hit bags. They'll do in a pinch and on a tight budget. But they are not (nor are they advertised) as bullet proof.If you lost your house because these didn't hold up as permanent damn against the ocean, you are an idiot; these bags don't deserve a bad review for that. Anyone who would pinch pennies, then complain that budget products couldn't resist the forces of nature was overdue for a reality check anyway.If you are trying to craft a levee to save your homestead from flooding, don't be a skinflit. Pay for something that can last one or two years. If you need longer than that you shouldn't be looking at sand bags.Know what these can do and use them appropriately. They are meant to photodegrade after 1600 hours of UV exposure and, apparently, they stick to that schedule. Hardly sensible to fault them for performing as advertised.

Excellent general purpose sandbags. We used approximately 900 to build a small earthbag building. Building dimensions were 8 feet wide by 24 feet long by 8 feet high. Of the 900, there was only 1 manufacturing defect, a missing bottom stitch on one bag. That's it. Every single one had the little tie at the top, not one was torn. Ours were left full and in the sun for 2 weeks while we prepped the area and there was no noticeable degradation. These are rated for 1600 hours of UV exposure. While ours were only exposed to about 150ish hours, I don't see them falling short of their 1600 hour rating. Realistically, you shouldn't expect them to last a year in the sun + weather + animals + things falling on them or scraping them + moved roughly over and over. It just won't happen. But for temporary water/flood mitigation, earthbag building where you are going to cover the bags with cob/adobe/stucco/etc, or any project where the bags will not be exposed to sunlight for long, these are perfect. They are very tough, surviving falls from about 9 feet (dropping them from where they were filled to where we were building), being thrown around several times, then being tamped into place roughly. After tamping, we drove rebar through them and only tore two bags when missing the rebar and hitting the bag full-force with a 5-pound sledgehammer. For those curious, the tamped bags were about 5 inches high, 12 inches wide, and 18 inches long. Highly recommended.

The typical sandbag sand that you buy at big box stores are either 50 lbs or 60 lbs. These will barely hold 50 lbs, so it's a REAL pain to get 50 lb plastic wrapped store bought sand bags into them. 60 lbs, forget it, you'll have to dump sand into the bags directly.If you are filling them with loose sand, they may work better, but unless you live at the beach, you are likely to be buying bagged playsand at a big box store to fill.Make them 1" WIDER and the problem is solved!Beyond that, the bags are decent if double bagged with a plastic bag. They aren't meant to last forever, so I'm not going to complain about that. They are reasonably strong, and the ties don't fall apart, and are easy to wrap.

These things were smaller than I expected, and smaller than I'd really hoped for. They are exactly the size listed in the description so this isn't a failing on the supplier's part in any way, I'd just hoped for sacks I could use for rubble that were a little wider than the (fairly small) dustpan I use to gather it up from the corner of my basement.They are sturdy, I've used them to carry a load of nail-bearing laths, rubble, stones etc. It's good to know they are strong enough to load up with stripped wallpaper and press it down hard for disposal. It would just be nice if they were a little bigger so I could get more into them and could load them without finding some of my rubble fell outside the bags.Update March 2018. Many of these bags have seen repeated use - I load them up with anything from rubble to laths with nails in them to bits of drywall with nails to chunks of drywall without nails. Yes, sometimes the nails catch and snag but even then the bags keep going. Sometimes a corner of a piece of drywall will catch as I empty it at the landfill and snag. This is to be expected. The bags keep going. Having bought 100 of them expecting to go through them I've probably still got 50-60 that haven't been used because I can just keep using the ones I have. So far I think two have become more or less unusable (one through being damaged by nails, the other gummed up with a load of building foam) so I just dumped the entire bag at the landfill. One more went out with the regular trash and is obviously gone. Aside from that, 97 of them are still serviceable after multiple runs to the landfill loaded with building trash. Upgrading from 4 stars to 5 stars.

I am not expecting anything, but it seems like not bad . I would say it is so good so far!

Worked for a project

great deal

No es el tamaño estándar verifica el tamaño es más pequeña que la de los costales de harina.

Very good quality

Not a very thick bag but seems to be strong enough.

i like the size of the bag i use it to put worm castings in to sell
