Rotproof Hessian Sandbags
Rotproof hessian sandbags are a reliable solution for flood prevention and are commonly used alongside tarpaulins to waterproof and reinforce sandbag barriers. Made from jute, these hessian sandbags are fully biodegradable, but our rotproofed version has been treated for extended durability, making them ideal for prolonged outdoor use.
Each sandbag is supplied empty with an attached string for easy sealing after filling. These builders sand bags are also useful for securing tarpaulins, ensuring stability in challenging weather conditions.
Tarpaflex rotproof hessian sandbags measure 76cm x 33cm and come in a dark green colour. When filled, each sandbag comfortably holds up to 15kg. To maximise efficiency, it's recommended to fill them to two-thirds of their capacity, allowing them to be easily stacked or shaped to fit specific areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do sandbags keep water out?
Sandbags can help reduce the impact of flooding by acting as a barrier to divert or slow down water. However, they are not 100% watertight. When stacked correctly and used alongside a waterproof membrane, such as a tarpaulin, they can be more effective at keeping water out of homes and buildings.
How long do hessian sandbags last?
Standard hessian sandbags are biodegradable and will naturally break down over time, typically lasting a few months when exposed to the elements. However, rotproof hessian sandbags, which have been treated for durability, can last significantly longer, especially in wet conditions.
Do sandbags work against flooding?
Sandbags are commonly used for flood protection and can help to redirect water away from properties. While they do not create a completely watertight seal, they are effective at reducing water flow and absorbing some moisture. For best results, they should be stacked properly and used in combination with waterproof sheeting.
