Tips on how to properly fill and stack your sandbags:

  •  Fill bags one-half to two-thirds of the way full
  •  Over-filled bags will result in a leaky sandbag wall
  •  Stack sandbags so that the seams between the bags are staggered
  •  Tuck the top of each bag under to ensure that that bag is sealed by its own weight
  •  Please bring your own shovel.
