After getting flooded twice within a week and a half, we felt that it was time to take more drastic measures and do what we can to prevent anymore rain water from leaking in. After checking out some of the various options available, we decided that sandbagging was probably one of the most viable and immediate solutions available. These UpNorth Sand Bags w/ Ties had a pretty good rating, so we decided to buy the 100 pack and 1,200 pounds of sand from a big box retailer, since we couldn't find any sand on Amazon.These UpNorth sandbags are double woven at the bottom and have a hole punched through the position with the tie attached. We double bagged each bag of sand to help reduce the amount of water that seeps in and to increase the duration of time that the bags should last. Since these are used in a stairwell to the basement there should be minimal sunlight and the number of seasonal elements to impact them will be minimal to none. We built up the sandbags in a fort style against the door, to use the home as a backing for the bags, and filled each one with approximately 30 pounds of sand. The following morning after building our sandbag fort there was a rainstorm that caused the water to come up through the drain, for the third time in two weeks, but this time the water didn't enter the residence.If you're in the market for sandbags, whether to use them immediately or preparing for that rainy day, then these UpNorth sandbags with ties are a great item.If you found this review "Helpful", please click the button below.

These things were smaller than I expected, and smaller than I'd really hoped for. They are exactly the size listed in the description so this isn't a failing on the supplier's part in any way, I'd just hoped for sacks I could use for rubble that were a little wider than the (fairly small) dustpan I use to gather it up from the corner of my basement.They are sturdy, I've used them to carry a load of nail-bearing laths, rubble, stones etc. It's good to know they are strong enough to load up with stripped wallpaper and press it down hard for disposal. It would just be nice if they were a little bigger so I could get more into them and could load them without finding some of my rubble fell outside the bags.Update March 2018. Many of these bags have seen repeated use - I load them up with anything from rubble to laths with nails in them to bits of drywall with nails to chunks of drywall without nails. Yes, sometimes the nails catch and snag but even then the bags keep going. Sometimes a corner of a piece of drywall will catch as I empty it at the landfill and snag. This is to be expected. The bags keep going. Having bought 100 of them expecting to go through them I've probably still got 50-60 that haven't been used because I can just keep using the ones I have. So far I think two have become more or less unusable (one through being damaged by nails, the other gummed up with a load of building foam) so I just dumped the entire bag at the landfill. One more went out with the regular trash and is obviously gone. Aside from that, 97 of them are still serviceable after multiple runs to the landfill loaded with building trash. Upgrading from 4 stars to 5 stars.

When you can buy these bags at a small fraction of the price of actual heavy duty, long-term UV resistant bags you have no grounds for them not being indestructible. It does seem like a few purchasers have been shorted, but the seller provided refunds so I thought I'd give these bags a try. I needed them as partial-season weights to hold down tarps and row cover. I got 100 bags for just $36.They are tough. One of the 100 I've spied so far had one snag. All the rest seem solid. The ties are the weakest point, but they are plenty sufficient to keep the bag closed as long as it lasts WHICH IS 66-67 DAYS AS ADVERTISED. These are cheap, quick-hit bags. They'll do in a pinch and on a tight budget. But they are not (nor are they advertised) as bullet proof.If you lost your house because these didn't hold up as permanent damn against the ocean, you are an idiot; these bags don't deserve a bad review for that. Anyone who would pinch pennies, then complain that budget products couldn't resist the forces of nature was overdue for a reality check anyway.If you are trying to craft a levee to save your homestead from flooding, don't be a skinflit. Pay for something that can last one or two years. If you need longer than that you shouldn't be looking at sand bags.Know what these can do and use them appropriately. They are meant to photodegrade after 1600 hours of UV exposure and, apparently, they stick to that schedule. Hardly sensible to fault them for performing as advertised.
