Garrison - Sandbags for Flood Control & Force Protection
Garrison’s sandbags are 14” x 26” and use a 6mm thick, 10x10 thread, polypropylene fabric. This fabric incorporates 2.5%, 1600 hour UV protection for added life. Garrison commercial grade sandbags are manufactured with durability and effectiveness for floods in mind. Each bag is double stitched at the bottom to increase strength and has tie strings to close the bags. Garrison bags are standard in size and weigh 35-40 lbs when full.-
Garrison bags are ideal for flood control applications such as doorway protection, levee and berm construction, sewer and drain protection, and all types of water retention applications.

The Garrison sandbag is manufactured using high quality 6mm thick, Polypropylene material with a 10x10 weave.
All Garrison sandbags are UV protected for 1,600 hours to protect against material degradation.
Fill & Installation Time.Two people, using a shovel, can usually fill and tie off between 12-15 bags per hour. Mechanical bag filling machines can usually fill approximately 5,000 bags per hour.
Sandbags Needed for Wall Construction.Installation time is dependent on the size and length of the wall or barrier being created. It typically takes 600 bags to build a 100ft wall that is 1ft tall (using a base width of 2-3 sandbags).
Depending on the strength of wall needed, you can build walls using a base that is 2x or 3x the height desired. So a 2ft high wall at 100ft long, would require 2100 sandbags at 3x the height and 1700 sandbags at 2x the height.
