- Get some old truck tire tubes, they’re free. I went over to some underground tire garage in Asbury Park, NJ and loaded up.
- One tube=two sandbags, cut them in half. Be prepared for the stink, they smell like rancid fish. That’s OK, you will be sealing them back and won’t smell a thing.
- Seal one end up w/ a hose clamp and duct tape.
- Use a heavy contractor bag as a liner (optional), and place it in the sealed tire tube.
- Stand your sandbag on end and start filling w/ play sand, pea gravel, or a combo of each. The pea gravel will give you more weight. I found I can get from 30-80 lbs in one tube, depending on the size.
- Leave some slack on the unsealed end to give you room to fold, clamp, and duct tape the other end.
- Happy Sandbagging
