Sand Bags Empty | Filled

Looking for reliable and high-quality sandbags for your flood control and fortification needs? Look no further than SACKMAN®! We supply both empty and pre-filled sandbags, made of hessian or woven polypropylene, to help you protect your property and surroundings from flood water damage.

Sandbags are an excellent choice for the construction of levees, berms, dikes, and barricades for erosion control, floodwalls, and traffic control used for supporting highway signage. They can be used in a variety of situations, including during emergencies when rivers threaten to over-flood, or a levee or dike is damaged. Quick action and bags on hand could save countless Pounds in personal and property damage.

Properly filled and placed sandbags can act as a barrier to divert moving water around, instead of through, buildings. While sandbag construction does not guarantee a water-tight seal, it is satisfactory for use in most situations. Sandbags are also used successfully to prevent the over-topping of streams with levees and for diverting current flows to specific areas.

It's important to note that sandbags alone should not be relied on to keep water outside a building. Instead, they can be used in combination with plastic or wooden boards, scaffolding boards, or polythene sheeting and tarpaulins to form a more effective barrier. To create a sandbag wall, place bags tightly against one another to form the first layer of defense. Stagger the second and subsequent layers of bags, much like the pattern of a brick wall, to create an interlocking effect.

Our sandbags, when properly filled and placed, will redirect storm and debris flows away from your property improvements and are also often used for garden landscaping ponds. PLEASE NOTE we offer free UK mainland delivery within approximately 3-5 working days on all Filled Sand Bags orders, so please order early to avoid being caught up in bad weather and flooding.
