The bag is sent empty. You get to supply you own "sand" or other weight. I use pea gravel as it is less messy.

I only put sand on one side but either side is built to play and hold sand and/or water. I went through one bag this summer filling up one side over and over again. So doing both sides it would probably take less than 1/4 of a bag to initially fill it.

You might be better off shipping it to your destination. It is too big to carry on so if you have to pay for checked bags, just mail it instead.

You must pay for it via credit card on the internet when you make a reservation for it to be picked up. The bag has to be clear of obstructions, so you could not put it next to a regular dumpster. The specifications for where it needs to be are on the website and on the bad itself. We found it to be a great process.

No water comes in the bag. It's on you to fill the bag. I don't think anyone would want to pay shipping on 150-180 lbs of water.

I have it in my garage it moves a tiny bit once in a while and hasn't been an issue that I thought would need to be sand bagged. It comes with strips of fabric attached to the corners so you can stake it to the ground if outside. Or maybe tie it to sand bags. If it were outside I would think it should be staked down. I will also use a tarp under it when we use it outside so the ground doesn't get it dirty or puncture. If on a tarp it would move around more. I hope this helps. If you have more questions please ask. We love it so far. I defiantly recommend it.

We bought this sand for the kids' sandbox...I agree with the other answer that said buy a bag of sand from home depot or lowe's. This is a very small bag of sand! You don't really think about it (we didn't) but it doesn't take much to make 5 pounds...This is EXACTLY just plain sand like you find on the beach, nothing fancy, nothing special. Save yourself time and money and go buy you some bulk sand from your local sand pit (dump truck delivery guys can tell you where to buy in bulk) or, as previously mentioned, a big bag from home depot.

I would assume that there is a weight associated with the shipping information on Amazon. But its not too heavy. But you do need weights like sandbags to keep it sturdy.

I didn't use sand bags. I strapped a rubber coated 10lb. weight to each side of the ladder near the bottom.

The bag is mesh, so it probably couldn't hold sand. You could try to find a tighter mesh bag.

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

Unfortunately it isn't. It will fill about an inch maybe 1 1/2" in the bottom of an inside sand table that is about 16 x 20". It is great sand, feels really nice and isn't dusty, and will buy it again for that purpose. Unfortunately, it would take many boxes for an outside sand box. I would recommend play sand from a home improvement store for that purpose. Much cheaper $5/bag and in 50lb bags.

We put one bag (from Lowes) in the sand table and no water. The grands have fun with it on both sides. It is on our patio and with more sand, it would be harder to move. One bag is enough for them. They do like to put the sand down the hole where the umbrella goes so you might want to put something to catch the sand.

Correct, the bags are empty. Sand from your local beach works well, but messy. I would not recommend Olympic weights... It rips the bag.

I've had my original one for going on 3 years now. I usually tote 2-4 beach chairs, a beach umbrella, stuffed beach bag, beach towels and a small six pack cooler with little issue (I added a bungee cord). The more weight you add the deeper it sinks into the sand however, I haven't found it to be a real issue. Maybe if you had to tow it long distance in soft sand? Any weight works fine on the hard wet sand. We love the table for game play and food prep too. I liked it so much I bought another for family to tow their own gear. Hope this helps.

I put a dead Everlast bag and a dead Century bag (shredded cotton cloth) in ours. Sand is a great core material, but use small batches and make sure it stays put. Loose sand has ruined more bags than anything else I've seen.

It doesn't weigh much empty. You have to fill it with sand or with water first. I filled mine with 1 lb of sand & I can still move it around pretty easily but it doesn't move on it's own much when using it. I can still add more sand as there is still plenty of room to fill but I haven't needed to. This is meant to be a reflex bag anyway, not a full strength punching bag.
