Free Australia-wide shipping
Each pack contains 6 water-activated sandbags, designed for quick flood preparation around doorways, garages, shopfronts, and low-entry points. Lightweight and easy to store when dry, each bag expands when exposed to water to help create a temporary flood barrier during heavy rain or rising surface water. The bags are reusable: they can be dried out afterwards and used again.
