Long Tube Sandbags with Handle - 4 ft length (Lasts 1-2 Yrs) - 70 lb Capacity
Now With a Built-In Handle for Easy Carrying, Positioning & Reuse
Sandbaggy’s heavy-duty 11" x 48" tube sandbags are the ultimate solution for flood control, erosion prevention, water diversion, and more. Unlike standard sandbags, these reusable snake-style sandbags are made from thick, high-density polyethylene mesh that’s 2–3X stronger than polypropylene, giving them a lifespan of 1–2 years under direct sunlight.
Now upgraded with a convenient built-in handle, these tube sandbags are easier than ever to move, position, and reuse. Simply fill with gravel, tie shut with the attached tie strings, and put them to work—whether you’re building a flood barrier, stabilizing hillsides, or adding traction to your truck bed.
- Best filled with gravel or rocks—not sand (mesh construction may leak fine sand).
- Bags arrive empty and heat-sealed at the end; cut or pull apart the seal to open for filling.

Customer Review: Robert from California
These polyethylene sandbags here to the lower edge keep the silt that may overflow there from going down into my French drain.
I served in the Marines. I did a lot of sandbagging in Beirut with the normal military sandbags. Those are nice to build walls with and things of that nature.
But these monofilament, polyethylene sandbags definitely work superior than any other sandbag for stopping erosion from runoff because they're made nearly four feet long. Once they're tied off, they can cover a lot of area pretty quickly and prevent your earth/water from running all over the place.
FAQ
I received the product but can’t figure out how to open the end to fill it. The videos never show this as the bag is already filled. Do I cut the end?
Yes, you can either use a pair of scissors or you could just pull it apart. It is just a heat seal lamination that needs to be opened.
