Anyone ever make / fill sandbags? Are there any tips / tricks that are helpful. I was thinking on emptying the sand into a large storage bin and filling the bags from there. I don't want sand going everywhere. Need the sandbags for water barrier / flood control during heavy rains.
Get a piece of 8" stove pipe. Put the stove pipe in the bag , all the way to the bottom. Scoop up sand in/with the stove pipe. Stand the bag up & pull out the stove pipe. 3 people can make bags fast with 3 stove pipes 1 fitting bags over the pipe 1 scooping & pulling the pipe 1 tying & stacking
Made thousands. Stove pipe & bag , work on your knees with a back brace, build muscles , heavy as a wet 14" birch round
I could substitute an 8 inch pvc for the pipe. Don't have any extra stove pipe and I think the PVC is cheaper
