Flood Prevention Sandbags, Reusable Flood Water Barrier, Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor, etc. to Control Flooding in Rainy Season (5 feet 7 inches (Pack of 4))

With the thought of what these do, being as happy as I am (a lot) seems pretty reasonable. My driveway goes down to my house. As a result, Michael the mailman will not delivery my mail and when it rains hard, enough water comes in the garage to soak the office the prior owners had build out there in 2/3 of one bay. I have an in-ground shelter so I can't park anything in the other bay. I have these staggered outside the garage door and they've done an amazing job in keeping the water out.

Well made of tough material. I’ve had for one winter/spring season but bags are in good condition & I expect to reuse for multiple years. Will store in garage when not needed for storm or hurricanes to help protect from sun damage.Much better than water bags or those absorbent bags for preventing rain water from entering doorways. I purchased the 5 foot bags. Filled fully with sand so they have weight to them but I am able to lift and move them.I am pleased with them & would buy again if needed.

The bags are made of a heavy duty material. The material seems very durable. I would have given five stars but the first bag i filled the string broke. Closing the bag was not easy and I feel like this needs to be redesigned. The string is flimsy and thin. It's silky and pulling the bag to cinch it togwther was difficult. The strings are not heavy duty for such a durable bag. Idk what they were thinking with that string design. I feel like it should be more like clothesline thickness and be able to withstand a hard pull. Do not pull hard. You have to sort of pull on each side a little at a time. It's one long string. Even on the second bag it did not close up entirely so I had to twist the bag shut and then tie the rope around it to make sure it was shut. Maybe I need to fill it more and then it will shut easier? If so maybe the manufacture can let me know. 3/4 of a fifty pound bag of sand is what it takes to fill one of the 4 x 7 bags. I still think it's a good buy over these gel like barriers that can only be used once or twice.

I have a 13x20 tent in my backyard and where I had to put it was a low spot. Water kept getting in and flooding the tent not now though I put these on the perimeter and they divert the water.

Bought the 4 foot versions to build a runoff diversion from the upper part of the yard that flooded the front of my garage during big rains. My previous efforts with normal size sandbags or water filled barrier were as effective but had other issues that caused me to try these. As I had hoped they diverted water and they were small and durable enough that I could very easily move them and drive over them without damage to access my upper shop area. A very nice longer term alternative to the cheap woven bags that are handed out free elsewhere.

good bag crappy tie string cant pull tight or drawstring breaks

These work perfectly to cover the gaps under my garage goods during wind and rain storms. Definitely heavy duty and worth the money.

I ordered the 6ft x 7” and as others said the string provided is a bit short. I am giving 5 stars because I wouldn’t use the strings even if they were long. I used a very fine dry lake sand. The bags held without leaks. I used cable ties, folded the end over a few times. No leaks and it’s 6 ft! I have 4 of them in a teepee. Keeps the wind from blowing it away.
