Description
Bulk Bags (FIBC) — Standard 3' Cubic Sandbags for Flood & Erosion Control
Our workhorse bulk bag for building large, stable sandbag blocks. Sized at 36" × 36" × 40" (about a 3' cube when filled), these FIBC bulk bags are purpose-built for creating quick flood barriers, erosion-control berms, and temporary walls you can move with a forklift.
Need a longer-life option? Our standard bulk bags are designed to last approximately 9 months in constant sun exposure. For multi-year outdoor service, upgrade to Big Hoss® Bulk Bag Sandbags—reinforced with DuraBag® polyethylene for a 5-year UV life and available in 9 colors.

Field Tips
- Filling – Stage the bag on a pallet; hold the duffel top open and fill with a loader/bobcat. Keep material dry for best compaction.
- Handling – Lift from the four loops with forks or a spreader bar to keep loads balanced.
- Placement – Set on level ground for tighter seams between bags when building barriers.
- Removal – Use the bottom spout to discharge flowing materials when relocating or emptying.
