Description
Geotextile Sandbags – Engineered for Erosion Control, Drainage, and Environmental Applications
Geotextile Sandbags are crafted from non-woven, needle-punched polypropylene fabric that allows air and water to pass through while securely retaining internal fill. Positioned between our Cactus® polypropylene line and our DuraBag® polyethylene line, these bags deliver better erosion control, filtration, and strength than Cactus®, while costing less than the more permanent DuraBag®.
Resistant to UV, rot, and mildew, Geotextile Sandbags are a top choice for contractors and agencies working in regulated, environmentally sensitive areas.
