Traditional Sandbags Are Broken

Flooding is unpredictable. Your protection shouldn't require a truck full of sand and a team of volunteers.

Traditional Sandbags

  • Weigh 40+ lbs each — require heavy lifting
  • Need sand, shovels, and multiple people
  • Difficult to transport and store
  • Not reusable — end up in landfills
  • Slow deployment in emergencies

StormBags

  • Only 1 lb dry — anyone can carry and deploy
  • Just add water — no sand or tools needed
  • Compact storage — 25 bags fit in one small box
  • Reusable 3-5 times when dried out properly
  • Ready in 3-5 minutes — deploy in an emergency

Three Steps. That's All.

From box to barrier in minutes. No experience required.

1

Unpack

Open the box. Each flat StormBag weighs just 1 lb and measures 23" x 13". A box of 25 weighs less than a single traditional sandbag.

2

Add Water

Submerge in freshwater — a wheelbarrow, bucket, bathtub, or even a garden hose. In 3-5 minutes, each bag absorbs 4 gallons and swells to 33 lbs.

3

Deploy

Stack hydrated bags like bricks to build a flood barrier. One person can protect an entire doorway or perimeter in under 30 minutes.

Built for Real Emergencies

Every detail of the StormBag is engineered for fast, effective flood protection.

Reusable

Reuse 3-5 times. Dehydrates in approximately 2 weeks in low-humidity conditions. Flip regularly for faster drying.

Compact Storage

A box of 25 StormBags stores flat and weighs less than a single filled traditional sandbag. Easy to stockpile in closets, garages, or vehicles.

Multi-Use

Beyond floods: soak up basement leaks, broken pipes, and spills. Keep plants hydrated in drought conditions with the non-toxic gel.

Common Questions

StormBags will dry out after about two weeks in hot, dry conditions. In cool, humid conditions, the process takes longer. If left exposed to water, they will stay at full size indefinitely or until the burlap biodegrades.
Each StormBag weighs just 1 lb dry. When fully hydrated, it weighs between 30-35 lbs depending on conditions. Each bag absorbs approximately 4 gallons of water.
Each StormBag absorbs approximately 4 gallons of water in 3-5 minutes when submerged. You can hydrate multiple bags at the same time in a wheelbarrow, bucket, or trough to speed up the process.
Yes. StormBags can be reused 3-5 times when properly dried. Lay them in direct sunlight and flip regularly. In dry conditions, they take approximately 2 weeks to fully dehydrate. Do not store while wet.
Yes. The polymer contents are non-toxic and the bag itself is made of biodegradable burlap and linen. Place a few around your trees or bushes in drought conditions to keep plants hydrated by minimizing evaporation.
No. StormBags are designed for use with freshwater only. Salt water will prevent the polymer from absorbing properly.
StormBags are non-toxic and landfill-friendly. But better yet — cut them open and spread the gel around your trees, bushes, and garden beds. The polymer will keep your soil moist for extended periods and will biodegrade naturally.
