Protect your home or business from flash flooding, storms and other flood damage with this clever alternative to traditional to traditional sandbags

Traditional sandbags are heavy, bulky, dirty and generally awkward to handle. Our portable sandbags are lightweight, portable and compact and can be deployed in minutes and disposed of easily.

The bags change from being as light as a pillowcase (200g) to as heavy and secure as a sandbag (20kg) within a few minutes

The semi-porous inner liner within the bag contains a gelling polymer which absorbs water to become taut in just over 3 minutes. Once the water is absorbed it is held within the bag adding weight which ensures the bag stays in place and keeps the flood water out.

Flooding can cause a hazard to road users, so to alert to the danger it could be a good idea to pop a couple of flood road signs in the vicinity.

Customer Questions

Ask a question

Roger Butler - 01 Oct 2024

Q. Hi, We plan to use these externally for the duration of any flood then plan to put away ready for another day. So the question is how many times can we reuse them?

A. We do not recommend re-using these sandbags as floodwater is often contaminated.

Steven Marriott - 09 Aug 2021

Q. It states these are guaranteed for 1yr. How long do they store for, for instance if I purchased and stored away in dry location would they still be ok for use say after 5yrs time?

A. Yes, if they are stored in the original packaging in a dry location they will still be suitable for use.

Gordon Lynch - 03 Mar 2021

Q. I want to create a permanent barrier against a stream that floods occasionally, are the alternative to sandbags long lasting?

A. Due to the biodegradable nature of these sandbags they will not offer a permanent barrier.

Robert R Hollingsworth - 27 Aug 2020

Q. Are they re useable or a one off protection?

A. As nearly all flood water is contaminated it not advisable to reuse due to potential health problems.
