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

This is a well designed, easy to use product. I've used this for helping seal door threshholds, including sliding glass doors. Let's not pretend this is some sort of hydraulic seal, but I can say it's super effective on strong wind blown rain that you have with a hurricane. Been there... done that.Easy to fill, and the included small shovel is just perfect for filling the sandbags. Since each one has a closing strap, you won't be fighting with rope or cable ties to secure everything. That makes things much quicker and easier.Get some for hurricane season, and predetermine where you would get your sand as needed.

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.

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.

Very good quality

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.

good bag crappy tie string cant pull tight or drawstring breaks

Very effective for blocking the water from getting on the porch in storms. Overlap the ends for the best results.

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.
