I have to stop up to 24" of water entering my garage. Can these be stacked, or do you have another solution? Thanks, JW

They can be stacked. I have never gone over 2 of them stacked though. Hope this helps.

I would not recommend relying on stacking this product. I haven't used it in this manner, but when dry, they weigh less than a couple pounds per section. I don't believe they would stay in place with the force of water applied that you mention. WOG

I think that you could stack them...but I doubt that they would hold against the pressure of 24" of water. You probably need sandbags. These Quick Dam barriers are good and hold a lot of water for a long time. Ours are still intact and in place after 8 months. (Although we haven't had any torrential rain here in Central Pennsylvania for some time) I'll be very interested to see just how long they will last.

I don't think you would have any problem. I use these in my garage to hold my kayaks. My largest one is 14 ft and two hooks work perfectly. You have to screw them in on your studs of course. They are very sturdy.

I just looked at mine. My best answer is yes AND no. Yes they can be used stacked as far as the filler cap and fuel fitting are recessed enough for stacking, BUT, they are not molded to stay stacked on their own. One would have to improvise something to hold them together. Not advisable is my conclusion.

I double stacked mine for the same reason; i needed an extra 4 inches. They safely and securely stack together, i even added coasters under them b/c of my hardwood floor.

I dont think you want to stack them. You should order one that tall. They have them.

They should work fine because they are built heavy duty. And the cap has a built-in spigot to make dispensing the water easier. Just remember that these things are heavy when full: about 56 pounds (and somehow it feels even heavier). So even though they have a stackable design, I would not store them that way in a boat.

No...they could not be stacked. No way to connect in that fashion and it would also obstruct the rotation cycle of the lower cans. Hope that helps.

According to the manufacturer, these should not be stacked when full. I have found with my own use, that stacking them while full puts a lot of pressure on the bottom container and it will "bulge out". I tend not to stack my containers for this reason.

I suppose they could but they are meant to drain excessive water so if you put a layer of gravel under them, say 2", that would probably work

I use two side by side, but don't know why they could not be stacked if stabilized (bungee cords or framed in - with rubber strips or gasket material in between). Will be at boat next week and could double check. You can email me at Saildoc13@gmail.com.

That is the most ideal way. Water entering on the bottom and exiting on top. However, I know may installers that have use it horizontally with good results. The biggest factor would be actual flow rates being treated.

I have never stacked them since 12" seems to be deep enough for me, I have 4' x 8' beds. Any deeper than 12" would mean an incredible amount of soil and since I make my own that would take an enormous amount of compost. I would suggest not stacking the 12" boards since you will always be fighting the split in the wood where the boards come together, I don't see how you could prevent leakage since board dimensions are imperfect and irregular, there would be gaps.

I have three stacked up and they work fine. It's just more difficult to move them around if you have three stacked up. I'd find a spot on your counter and keep them there if you're going to stack three.

You sure can, I have 2 24" lights 1 on each side since I have a divider in the middle to support the shelf I have on the tank. Really cuts down on water evaporation also. Hope this little info helped you out.

I hook mine to the utility sink in my garage without any problems. It comes with adapters to attach to your faucets. Think you can do it without any problem. Only problem may be the length of the hose.

not as long as you keep the best level. The water will spray out eventually. But using the collection trailers helps a lot

I only bought two, so I don't stack too high. But they do stack. I had them in my garage, one on top of the other for months. Of course, they don't lock together, but it is pretty safe.
