Is this a fabric or plastic bag? Could I repair any tears in it?

Hello Marge, The label says 100 % polyester. It quite strong, I can tell you that. I think you could fix it by sewing on a patch. Hopes this helps.

You could repair this with a patch of some sort, it is not plastic but more like a coated fabic so that it is waterproof.I hope this helpstks

It's a heavy fabric. You should be able to repair it. I doubt it will tear though.

It's some kind off man made nylon-type material. Mine completely broke so I no longer have it. I totally overloaded it one day and it gave up on me. It was OK till then

It is a strong canvas-like fabric with an interior coating of plastic. Mine has held up far longer than the plastic wheels on the frame did. I think the fabric could be repaired with an upholstery needle and sturdy thread or by patching.

It's a fabric, not 100% sure what it is. I expected fiberglass but it still looks and works great. My only concern is that it may tear at some point.

As many others have said, this is basically a large plastic bag. More durable plastic than the average trash bag. No easy way to seal it. I ended up using duct tape.

If I remember correctly the answer is in the description on the bag. It is not sand it is stuffed with rags. We have had ours for over a year & it is used at lest every other day. Still looks and feels like new-great bag at a great price.

I cannot recommend a good cover, but I can say that the one offered on Amazon is a little dodgey. The one I got had a tear in one of the seams. It was a hassle to send it back, considering the price, so I now use a contractors, black, garbage bag. It fits pretty well and if it gets damaged, I just pull a fresh one out of the box. I recommend the contractor's waste bags because the plastic is a heavier gauge than the standard, black trash bags.

I'm not sure what the material is, but it appears to be a woven fabric; not plastic.

The material is, but the bag itself has holes that water can get through. They are the silver circles on the picture.

It's a plastic, no cloth. I will say though that it is pretty darn durible. Lots of walking on it ams pulling on it and heels and kids trouncing on it and it never ripped.

I use a lightweight plastic bag, but had trouble with static cling, so I added an old used Bounce sheet and it works just fine. I empty the plastic bag into trash, but save the Bounce sheet in bag.

It is plastic, but it's definitely not your regular plastic decorator bag. It's very light, very easy to work with. It's a breeze to clean and even working with colorful frostings the bag did not get discolored. I've had it for several years and use it quite frequently. I've had bags that separated in the seam overtime, this one is still holding strong. I am sure you can find different sizes, I have one 12" and 16". I use the bigger one all the time, it's just easier for me to work with it because I don't need to re-fill it. But that's just personal preference.

Its a nylon bag. Pretty sturdy, more than you would expect. I haven't used it much at all but I would guess it would last as long as you don't expect too much.

its not plastic but its not burlap either, its some sort of synthetc canvas, very strong but not tear proof, I tore mine trying to flow water off of it after a rain storm, but it was very heavy and I was applying a ton of force on it. Good tarp for storage not so great for towing...

Bags are NOT made of paper. I believe the plastic is quite durable - not really thin. Maybe like a good thick zip lock bag. If something pointed is put in the bag, it may rip but that would be true of even a very thick plastic.

there is no indication on the bag as to what the ply is. i unfolded the bottom of the bag to see what was inside. there is one layer of white sticky like material. feels waxy. don't know if it paper or cloth. so the paper bag and the white section. that's it. works for me.the inside of my container is clean.

This is a very light bag. My only concern is that the stitches in fact tore at the top of the bag by the straps. It was a non-essential stitching in terms of weight bearing and structure, but it is not cosmetically pleasing... this tear occurred 2-3 months of everyday, heavy use. The stitches kept the straps connected from the outside, otherwise the straps are still functional. I believe the tear occurred from filling the bag up to capacity with laptop and books, etc.. hope this helps.

The fabric is vinyl. I purchased this for my son 2 years ago. He is in it every day. It works just as good as it did new. There has been no problem with ripping, or wearing thin. Looks as good as new.

I haven't torn the seams to check, but it appears to be some sort of fibers similar to cotton stuffing or poly stuffing. It acts that way with use and requires plumping from time to time the same way that kind of filling would act.Another poster mentioned that the external material on theirs was made of plastic. That's not true of mine. They're a simple cotton shell. I've put them on overstuffed chairs that I use daily. I would actually recommend them because they don't set off my allergies the way down pillows tend to.
