Sandbags provide a simple, effective, and inexpensive use for many things, including protection from floods, reinforcing structures, diversion of water, control of erosion, construction of levees, and extra weight to hold down traffic or road signs. They also can be used as extra weight in the winter for cars and pickup trucks to provide extra traction to keep vehicles from sliding all over the road.
Depending on the task at hand, there are a variety of different sandbags available at local hardware or home improvement store, as well though online stores.
The most widely used type of sandbag is burlap. These can be purchased in large numbers and easily stored for long periods of time. Note that the bags should be stored empty and filled before use so they do not deteriorate, though some may be treated to help prevent rotting and mildew. In addition to serving as sandbags, the burlap bags can be used to hold feed, flour, fertilizer, and more.
Polypropene sandbags, which are made of plastic, are another widely available option. They can be filled with sand or soil. These are a good choice because they resist punctures and tears to keep the sand in bag dry and secure. They are also flexible and provide clarity. They are excellent for use in blocking moisture and can be purchased in different thicknesses, colors, and sizes. They also can be stored for a long period of time. The disadvantage to these bags is they are not biodegradable.
There are also UV treated sandbags available that are ideal for placement in areas where there is direct sunlight, resulting in a longer lasting bag. All types of bags are purchased open and must be filled and tied shut for use.
While there are many stores that sell different style and sizes of sandbags, don’t forget that the web can be a great resource of information, as well a useful tool to compare pricing.
