Rooftop Sandbag Tips & FAQs

Where should sandbags go on a roof tarp?

Place along tarp edges, overlaps, and at windward corners/ridges. Avoid sharp edges and hot roof penetrations that could abrade fabric.

Will sandbags damage shingles?

No—properly placed bags protect the surface by avoiding fasteners. Use smooth-sided bags and avoid dragging across granules.

Sand vs. pea gravel: which fill is better?

For ballast use, gravel is ideal as water will drain out during weather.  For DuraBag®, select the Sand Liner when using sand to prevent seepage and extend life.

Are these solutions reusable?

Yes. Saddle and Ballast bags are sealed and designed for repeated use. DuraBag® and Acrylic can be reused with proper handling.

Empty vs. pre-filled — what’s faster?

Pre-filled pallets deploy immediately and include free shipping. Empty 100-packs cut freight and let you fill on site.
