Best Sand Bags for Flood Protection

A Buyer Guide for Flood Defence

When preparing for flooding, choosing the right sand bags is important.

Different types of sand bags are designed for different applications.

Understanding the options available can help you select the best solution.


10kg Sand Bags

10kg sand bags are commonly used for:

• Flood defence barriers
• Doorway protection
• Surface water control

They are lighter and easier to deploy quickly.


15kg Sand Bags

15kg sand bags provide additional weight and stability.

They are often used where stronger barriers are needed or where sand bags are stacked higher.


Gravel Filled Sand Bags

Gravel filled bags are commonly used for ballast.

These are often used to stabilise:

• Temporary road signs
• Barriers and fencing
• Construction site structures


Polypropylene Sand Bags

Woven polypropylene bags are designed for durability.

They are commonly used on construction sites and infrastructure projects because they are UV resistant and long lasting.


Hessian Sand Bags

Hessian sand bags are biodegradable and often used in environmental applications.

They are commonly used where natural materials are preferred.


Bulk Flood Defence Bags

For large-scale protection, bulk bags provide greater coverage and are commonly used by councils and contractors.
