DuraBag Sandbags® – Pre-Filled Pallet, 5-Year UVI, Gravel Bag for Erosion Control & Ballast – 3,000 lbs.

Why DuraBag® Works Better for Erosion Control

• 5-Year UV Life (10,000 UVI): Engineered for long-term sun exposure.
• Mesh Shell = Drainage: Allows water flow while retaining aggregate fill.
• Gravel-Ready Design: Optimized for 1/4″ chip stone or 1/2″ washed gravel to reduce clogging, freezing, and muddy seepage.
• Erosion & SWPPP: Our 1/2″ washed gravel is EPA-compliant for erosion control and SWPPP applications. (Note: minor sedimentation can occur during aggregate storage.)
• Color Coding: Nine fade-free colors for crew or zone identification.

Fill Material Options (We Fill for You)

• 1/4″ Chip Stone (Small “chip rock”): The smallest free-flowing aggregate we recommend. It shifts and beds like sand for stable berms, but—unlike sand—its stone makeup resists moisture retention that can lead to frozen “bricks” or sloppy, dripping bags.
• 1/2″ Washed Gravel: Best for erosion and underwater applications. Washed to reduce fines; EPA-compliant for SWPPP/BMP use. Expect minor sedimentation over time while in storage.
• C-33 Sand (with Inner Liner): For applications that require sand, we line each bag with a woven polypropylene inner bag before filling with C-33 to prevent leakage (added charge applies).

FAQ

• Do I need a liner? Only when using C-33 sand—we include a woven PP inner liner for those orders (added charge applies). No liner is needed for chip stone or washed gravel.
• Which fill should I choose? 1/2″ washed gravel is best for erosion/SWPPP; 1/4″ chip stone beds like sand for berms without the freeze/mud drawbacks.
• Will fines build up over time? Expect minor sedimentation in stored aggregate—this is normal and accounted for by using washed material and a mesh shell.
• Can I store the pallet outdoors? Use the Big Hoss packaging option for prolonged outdoor storage; standard PP bulk bags are not rated for multi-year sun exposure.
