Product Overview
Preparing for heavy weather is easier when the materials for temporary barriers are already part of your emergency supplies. Rothco Sandbags offer a straightforward way to support flood-control efforts, erosion prevention, and hurricane preparation, with woven polypropylene construction and a drawstring closure that keeps the filling contained.
Each bag measures 27 inches by 15 inches, giving you a useful reference when planning a project or deciding where filled bags will be placed. The drawstring lets you pull the opening closed after filling and tie it securely, helping reduce sand leakage when moving bags into position. It also keeps closure simple without requiring a separate fastening system.
Material suited to outdoor placement
Outdoor sandbags may remain exposed to sunlight while serving their purpose. These bags use UV-resistant polypropylene rated to withstand up to 1,600 hours of sunlight exposure. That resistance is particularly relevant for erosion-control work and construction projects where bags are left outdoors rather than deployed only during a brief weather event. The woven material also provides a durable structure for demanding outdoor use.
- Construction: Woven polypropylene.
- Bag dimensions: 27 inches x 15 inches.
- Closure: Drawstring for securing the opening after filling.
- Intended applications: Flood control, hurricane preparation, erosion prevention, and construction projects.
For emergency planning, consider the areas you intend to protect and the arrangement of the bags before severe weather arrives. For ongoing outdoor projects, use the bag dimensions to plan placement; the finished shape will depend on how each bag is filled and positioned.
