Does the Sandbag comes with sand or why is it so heavy (35 pounds)? I thought its just the bag and i have to fill it?!

Does not come with sand and I would recommend using rice as a filler instead.

It can be filled with sand but it feels like you are punching a rock and weight over 350 lbs

You will want 500 to 700 pounds of sand. 10 to 14 50lb bags. We bought 14 and used 11.

Mine was filled with water for a while with no leaks, but I found my umbrella was to heavy for just water. Ended up going with sand.

I used 4 bags of 0.5 cu ft each of sand. Each bag weighed in at 48 pounds so that is nearly 200 pounds of sand. Nearly equal to 25 gallons of water..which weighs nearly 8 pounds per gallon. The guy that is using a 50 pound weight is really not securing his very well. One bag of sand and I could still tip mine over pretty easily. that was 48 pounds.

Yes it has sand bags. I have never used them as we only use it for kids baseball games on open grass fields. We just the stakes that are provided and they work fine.

I put a 50 pound bag and a half of another 50lb bag in ours. That was regular sand.

The base comes separately, but it is very easy to put on. You just screw the bag in. The tough part is filling the base. I bought four 60 lb bags of sand from Home Depot. I didn't know that there are different types of sand to purchase. Since the one I got seemed to be almost moist, it was really murder filling it up. The filling hole is pretty small, and I ended up having to make a small funnel and spoon it in. If you can buy sand that is dry and free flowing, you will have no problem at all. In general, the product is very well made and sturdy. I would recommend it.

No it does not come with the sand. It'll take 3 bags of sand if you were to buy it at the hardware store

Hi Kate,I believe the sand comes in a bag and the bag is in the box. I purchased it last spring and my memory isnt as good as it used to be, but i do remember that i was pleased with the way the sand was bagged and the quality of it. A year later and the sand is still white and perfect and my grandaughter is still enjoying it. i hope this helps.

Absolutely,, play ground sand which I seem to recall one bag is 40lbs. I combined sand and several bricks which may have totaled a bit under the recommended weight ? I think they recommend 80lbs..so I would encourage using at least the minimal recommended wght to minimize issues. I mean once it's together you're not gonna want to take it apart. I have had NO PROBLEM and I am very satisfied with this product.

You have to fill it up yourself, Don't worry though. You can fill it up with common sand, gravel, etc.

I also have a 4-leg Sand table about 2 ft wide and 3 ft long. The 25 lb bag filled it up less than 2 inches high. The sand is really great, feels wonderful and doesn't stick to the kids. But, I feel that the expense was too much to have toddlers throwing it is the grass.

I don't remember if it had a hook at the bottom. Mine touched the ground so it didn't move that much. You can fill it with quite a bit of sand it is a 150lb bag so I'm not sure about 300lbs. I went to garage sales and asked people who were done if they would sell as much clothes as could fit in a 55gal trash bag. So I cut that stuff into strips and stuffed the bag. When it settled I filled more. Look into filling it with cloth easier on the body.

Both myself and my boyfriend go at the bag pretty hard, with and without gloves. The only issue we have is that it makes a certain noise when it's gone beyond its limit. But as far as stability we've had zero problems. I would recommend filling it with sand over water, but both work
