I'd liketo purchase sand bags that would absorb water and then dry out. Water sits up against one part of my house in heavy rain.

These are exactly the bags that you need. The reason that I purchased them was because I needed something that would allow water to be absorbed into the sand and then dry and it worked perfectly. I live near a river and the bags worked exactly as I had hoped they would!!!

I'm really not the one to ask. I was not happy with the bag. Water didn't drain all the way and became stagnant. Then a strong wind came and tilted the tree to 45% . I can't recommend any of them. Sorry

I am new at this too, so don´t worry...Its perfect for that, I bought the ¨Everlast Double End Striking Bag¨ and its perfect for avoiding drilling the floor, i filled it with water and works great, you can also try sand. Hope the information helps, enjoy and stay active!

I honestly used about a third of a tube sand bag and its heavy, and the quality is not worth the money, i would just get one from dicks that is prefilled

Yes, but I really feel that sandbags or rolled carpet are a better alternative. Good luck.

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".

That would not be a good use of it--it is very sturdy but a heavy rain would get through it---it's nylon, not canvas. Water could get in through the bottom/base as well if the ground is wet.

I think rain would ruin them. I bought bar chair covers and leave the stools covered except when using them.

You're welcome. Try to look for a bag that is advertised to be waterproof, else wise you may not be able to make claims in case the product doesn't satisfy you for that reason. Best of lucks!

I have not had the occasion to have it fully emerged but I was on a real heavy downpour and my stuff was dry inside. Hope this helped. Happy shopping

I went to a very humid site for several hours and the outside of the backpack was covered with due and soaked. The stuff on the inside was dry. Don't know if more water would seep in but it definitely fought off the due.

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.

we have this exact sandbox in our backyard and it tends to fill up with water as rain falls, etc.... I didn't want the drowning hazard, so I used a 1/16 drill bit to poke about a dozen small holes right at the bottom of the sidewalls around the whole interior wall. Doesn't cause sand to fall out but it allows the water to seep out slowly.

Living in California, can't help you about rain water., but do not let the compost get too wet you have to throw a lot of it away. I find that material of tea bags does not degrade .

Not a good idea. It does tend to get water in them when a stream of water is around. When it rains not really. Only when a constant stream of water is around you tend to get water in them

Bag will work as long as its transparent. It's the sunlight that purifies the water, not the bag. I'd try to rinse the bag with clean water from time to time, but otherwise, it's good as long as it holds water and the sun keeps shining!

I don't believe that these are designed to be filled with water, I do believe they would leak badly. They work perfectly if you put approx 40 pounds of play sand (available at Home Depot) into each bag--good luck!
