Tube Sandbags for Flood Control & Ballast
Tube Sandbags are durable, reusable fabric bags for flood barriers, water diversion, tarp anchoring, and truck bed ballast. Their long, flexible shape follows ground contours and stacks to create temporary water barriers around gates, doorways, and buildings. Made from outdoor-grade polyester canvas, each bag features integrated carry handles and a hook-and-loop closure for easy filling, moving, and reuse.

Smart Design for Real-World Use
Most long sandbags are made from polypropylene or polyethylene—materials that break down in 3 to 6 months of sun exposure. Ours use a 3-year rated outdoor polyester canvas for unmatched longevity.
Where others require hand-tying or crude folding, we use Velcro closures that let you fill bags to the exact right amount—then seal them in seconds without tools or effort.
We include built-in handles to make these bags easier and safer to carry and position. Most others don’t.
And unlike water-filled or “self-inflating” gel bags—which are 1/3 the weight and 1/3 as effective as sand-filled bags—our bags hold their shape, weight, and function season after season. No leaks, no deflation, no surprises.
Trusted for Versatile Applications
- Flood Control – Create quick, continuous barriers along doorways, sidewalks, or curbs
- Vehicle Traction Weight – Add weight over wheels or place under tires for grip on ice or snow
- Pool and Patio – Hold covers or tarps securely without sharp edges or leaks
- Erosion Control – Direct water away from slopes or protect landscape features
- Temporary Weights – Use for tent anchoring, barricade ballast, and more
Also known as snake sandbags or tubular sandbags, our Tube Sandbags are designed for flexible deployment where traditional rectangular bags just don’t fit. Their elongated shape and clean finish make them ideal for edging, curbing, or lining uneven terrain.
Built to Last. Shipped Fast.
These bags are manufactured in-house and ship directly from our Las Vegas facility. No resellers, no repackaging, no compromises—just dependable performance and fast turnaround.
Best-Fit Applications
Water Diversion & Curbing
Create temporary curbing to direct runoff toward drains and away from buildings, walkways, and work areas.
Vehicle Traction
Add ballast over truck wheel wells or inside car trunks to help improve winter traction in rear-wheel-drive vehicles.
Ground & Row Covers
Keep row covers, frost blankets, and agricultural ground covers in place by weighing down edges against wind.
Sports & Recreation
Weigh down batting cage and practice netting to help keep balls from rolling underneath during use.
Tarp & Sheeting
Hold tarps and plastic sheeting in place with flexible ballast that follows edges and helps resist wind lift.
Doorway Protection
Create a temporary water barrier along garage and warehouse door thresholds to help reduce rainwater intrusion.
