FAQ

How much do sandbags weigh?

Our 12" x 38" Empty Tube Sandbags weigh 2.5 oz. When filled they can weigh up to 90 lbs.

How many sandbags do i need for trucks?

If you need sandbags for your truck for added traction during winter, you will need 240-300 lbs. for a 1/2 ton pickup, which is at least 3 full 12"" x 38"" tube sandbags at full weight capacity (90 lbs. each). For a 3/4 to a 1 ton pickup, you will need 300-400 lbs, which comes out to at least 4 full 12"" x 38"" tube sandbags at full weight capacity (90 lbs. each).

For optimal traction, make sure the weight is centered over the rear axle, or as close as possible to the rear axle.

How do sandbags prevent flooding?

Sandbags prevent flooding by acting as a water barrier to divert water, this is due to the sand's coarse texture making it less porous (ability to absorb water) than other materials. The main benefit of using sandbags to prevent flooding is just how simple and quick they are to use and set up.

What do sandbags do for erosion control?

Sandbags help control erosion by minimizing sediment loss from rain and other natural forces on hills and slopes. Sandbags act as a barrier to divert water away from the specified area that is prone to sediment and soil loss. They are used to protect roads, beaches, buildings, and more!
