## Description

Not Your Ordinary SandbagSnake Sandbags™ are a family of multi-functional sandbags made in a modern design consisting of quality materials that stand up to the forces of nature for residential and commercial applications. When you think of sandbags, you probably envision heavy bags that serve one purpose: to block water. Though effective for preventing vast amounts of water damage, it's not so useful for the one who has to deal with various situations on a smaller scale. Not anymore. Snake Sandbags™ is that other better solution.Lighter. Durable. Flexible. Much more...* Lightweight - 6-foot Snake Sandbags™ can weigh 22 pounds. Traditional sandbags can weigh up to 50 pounds. Which one would you rather lift?* Durable - Snake Sandbags™ are made out of CORDURA nylon with heavy-duty reinforced stitching and handles the toughest of jobs whether indoors or out.* Flexible - Ever try bending traditional sandbags around a corner? Good luck.* Functional and Elegant - Though Snake Sandbags™ are functional, the simple design conveys a sense of modern elegance. Who thought sandbags can be beautiful?* Easy to Manage - Snake Sandbags™ conforms to the average hand size for grabbing and lifting easily.* Stackable - Build up by stacking in a pyramid fashion. For example, start with 3 on the bottom, 2 in the middle and 1 on top. Configurations are endless.* Dry Sand - Snake Sandbags™ are designed with a sealable inner liner to keep the sand dry (will vary based on usage).* Portable - The form factor and weight allows you transport and utilize Snake Sandbags™ wherever you need them.* Reusable - Snake Sandbags™ are NOT a disposable product solution and their strength factor does not degrade under the sun.

Review: Excellent Product for Drainage Issues - Firstly I'd like to agree with the other the majority here - this is a high quality product. The outer shell fabric is thick and tough and the plastic liner on the inside is much thicker than I expected it to be. I suspect that this will last quite a long time so long as it's not abused. I think this sort of sandbag is best used for diverting water flow - not repelling it. In my case, I needed to redirect rainwater runoff away from a sunken area on my patio to ensure it flows away from the house. I won't be moving it unless I have to because all the leaks and seepage under the sandbag clog with small bits of stuff that travel with the rainwater. Each time it rains, it gets a little dirtier and becomes that much more effective. Eventually I'll fix the patio, but for now, this is a fantastic temporary solution. I think these bags could be used for a variety of similar situations. On the other hand, if you're looking for something to put in a doorway to stop rainwater from coming in and ruining your hardwood floors - this is not, nor is any other product like it, the solution. Sandbags are not waterproof. Water will seep under it or any of the other similar options including those "sandless" ones. You need to get your problem fixed properly rather than trying to use a product like this. Garage door? Have a look at garage door thresholds - this will keep the rainwater out so long as it is not deeper than the threshold height. Door problems need to be fixed at the threshold by height or slope - not with sandbags - that's my 2c at least. Some additional thoughts: - Filling is made much easier if you use a canning funnel. desertcart suggested it when I bought this. I used a bit of packing tape to join the liner to the funnel and a big solo cup to dump sand in. Could have been an awkward messy job but this approach made it easy and quick. - I wish these were less expensive, but I'd not want the seller to compromise the quality. It's rare that you receive a higher quality product than you expected. - When you're filling it - especially if the sand is dry - wear a dust mask - breathing in dust from the sand is not good for you!
Review: Excellent design - quality construction - easy to move - When we get heavy rains - as happens increasingly often - the water from the street floods my driveway and gets into my basement. The sand snake is the PERFECT solution for me. I put it at the edge of my driveway and it blocks 100% of the water. The long, narrow design means that it weighs less per foot of protection than anything else I've found, with the result that it's easy for me to move it when I need to (which, in a driveway, is often) (I'm 67, so this is saying something!) It's very high quality. The "fabric" is extremely tough. Great product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this good only for rushing water or can it help with seeping water**
A: I only used mine outside during the end of last summer and fall. They seemed to work as I had hoped, to keep run off from my neighbors gutters from coming over to my yard, driveway and then seeping onto my basement. Since the ground was wet from rain it was impossible to tell if any would have been able to seep under the snakes from the wet to the dry side. I think they might work temporarily if the ground surface is flat enough.

**Q: how do you fill it with sand?**
A: You will need a funnel or funnel-type of device. A canning funnel like http://www.amazon.com/Norpro-607-Extra-Plastic-Funnel/dp/B000HJ99XS or a funnel used for changing oil works well.

**Q: I need the 4 foot snake sandbags. how do I find them?**
A: Please contact us via  Amazon messaging. You can go to: 
https://www.amazon.com/sp?_encoding=UTF8&asin=&isAmazonFulfilled=1&isCBA=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID=&seller=A3UIJ1CKUT5Y3&tab=&vasStoreID=

You can also get to that page from our product page and click on the blue link labelled "Snake Sandbags LLC" in the buy box area on the upper right.

**Q: Can these stay out in the winter?**
A: Absolutely. I have four of these that stay out all winter. Make sure you read the directions  thoroughly on filling and sealing the end of the  inner liner.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective in channeling water - but a bit of a challenge to fill
*by P***Y on July 19, 2016*

This is the second order we have received. Didn't get enough the first time. They work pretty well at channeling water away from your house. They are a little difficult to fill. Definitely takes two people and some kind of funnel to get the sand into the bag. We used a "jar filler" that you use when canning tomatoes. It worked pretty well.
