Sandbags serve a wide range of purposes in various situations and industries.

Sand bags can be used for many purposes and are quite inexpensive. Common applications include weighing down tents and tarps, preventing erosion, and controlling flood waters. Durable materials like burlap, polypropylene, or nylon are used to create sandbags, which are then filled with sand or other materials.

The pre-filled Hessian sandbags can vary depending on the application. Sand is the most common filler, as it is readily available and inexpensive. However, other materials such as gravel, dirt, or even rice can be used as a filler. The choice of filler will depend on the specific application and the desired weight and stability of the sand bags.

When filling sandbags, it is important to ensure that they are filled evenly and tightly. This is where we use sandbag filler. 

It is important that you make sure you secure the sandbags to prevent leaks and ensure that it is stable and effective. They should be stacked in a pyramid shape, with each layer overlapping the previous layer. This will help to create a stable and effective barrier.
