Love the sandbags...
April 29, 2020
I live in a high rise condo and I use the sandbags for my umbrella base. It gets windy at times on my balcony so I now have piece of mind. I may even purchase 2 more just to make base twice as secure. Thanks. L

We use these to add extra weight for our free standing Market Umbrellas and Pole Light set-ups. They have worked very well, it's easy to add bags as needed. It's not surprising these work well for our purposes, it was a surprise that our clients have made several positive comments about them.
Pros
  • East to use
  • Can add more as needed
  • Feels like they will hold up to the sun and salt air
Cons
  • none

Durable and Effective
November 4, 2019
I purchased 2 of these to weigh down 2 banner flags, we setup and take them down once a week, and the flags survived a San Francisco wind storm! The bags are durable too. I took the advice on the website of filling the bags with sand that is pre-loaded into plastic ziplock bags, that way nothing leaks out next to the zipper closure. Fast shipping as well.
Pros
  • Durable
  • Effective
  • Quality Craftsmanship
Cons
  • More expensive than some other sites, but the difference is made up for in the quality.

The bags are great. They are made of heavy duty material and after I filled them with sand and attached them to the poles of the pergola it's not going anywhere.

I was impressed with the level of service provided. We needed this for a fast approaching event and we were assured it would arrive in time without having to pay high shipping cost. It was shipped the same I ordered and arrived in plenty of time.

Replacing a bag of rocks. Looks so much better. Seems to work. Only installed a couple of weeks. The opening could be a little bigger but it works.

Worked well on frame of rocking swivel patio chair
May 28, 2019
We needed weights to keep our rooftop patio furniture from blowing around on very windy days. This sandbag worked perfectly on the rocking swivel patio chairs. The black color blended in with the frame and is only noticeable when you look for it. We were very pleased with the product.

I live in a high-wind area and my patio umbrella was frequently falling over. It is now staying perfectly in place and the sandbag looks great . . . . not some unattractive bag of sand on top of the umbrella stand. Thanks much for a great solution!

The item came in a timely manner, as described, was filled with sand from Central Park and is now in my church, making sure the hymn stand is stable. It looks appropriate for the type of structure it supports and it is practical. Max
Pros
  • 99%
Cons
  • The handle is short and is parallel to the opening (zipper) so it is good for carrying but a bit more work to fill it with sand. A very minor issue though.

Circular Sandbag Review
November 29, 2018
Processing and shipment is handled quickly. The bag arrived in the mail within a couple of days after the order was placed. The quality of the bag looks very good. I was little concerned that if I put sand directly into the bag it might leak out the zipper a bit so I put sand in freezer bags and then put the freezer bags in the sandbag. This is not to address a design flaw as I do not think there is one. It more likely addresses my being cautious or a meticulous. I will say it works well this way though.
Pros
  • Solid construction. Fits my light stand perfectly.
Cons
  • I can't think of any cons. Its a simple product that is built well and does what it is supposed to do.

Works great!
November 29, 2018
I ordered a floor lamp online that has a curved arm so the shade hangs over your reading area. The description said it had a weighted base to balance out the offset shade. Not! It is typical junky Chinese design and construction. The weight in the base isn't nearly enough to balance it so the lamp is extremely unstable. The company wanted $50 shipping to return it plus the hassle of trying to re-box it or I would have sent it right back. The base isn't terribly visible where the lamp is located so your super well made circular sandbag was the perfect solution. It's just about the same diameter as the lamp base. Thanks for a great product!

Great idea!
September 22, 2018
We needed additional weight on our umbrella base but didn't want to fork out the extra bucks for a heavier one. We had resorted to laying a bag of playground sand on one side but that was just ugly. So I googled umbrella base weights and found your company. What an ingenious idea. Thank you for being smarter than the rest of us.
Pros
  • Handy and convenient.
Cons
  • None

Excellent Materials and Construction: Photo/Video Tripod Center Weight
September 20, 2018
Digital cameras have enabled greater photo-video ability. This practice requires larger tripod accessories and steady recording platforms. Adding greater low center of gravity weight produces a firm working base for cinematic camera moves. The Sandbag Store Circular Sandbag is a perfect add-on to the equipment. I did fill the bag with pea gravel rather than sand. There has been no dust leakage. All seams, clasps, and handles are robust and handle the weight and activity well. I am ordering three more units.

We have an umbrella on our deck which falls over in a strong wind. We purchased 2 circular sandbags to place on the stand and it works just fine!
Pros
  • Keeps umbrella from falling over
Cons
  • Sandbags weigh 25 lb each

Pickleball net holddowns
August 18, 2018
We got these to secure a light weight PB net, which it does very well. We got the sand locally, to save shipping costs. My only suggestion would be to add a flap inside, behind the zipper, to prevent sand coming out, through the ends of the closed zipper track onto the court.

Merchant Response:Thanks for the review! A flap is a great idea and we will look to incorporate right away. Many clients put their sand in sandwich baggies first (about 5 lbs per sandwich bag) which will keep the sand contained while letting the circular sandbag do all of the work.
Pros
  • Holds the PB nets securely.
Cons
  • Leaks a small amount of sand onto the courts when moved, through the ends of the closed zipper opening.

Perfect for keeping my mic stand upright!
August 14, 2018
I have very a small home studio space (in a walk-in closet) for recording voice overs. To minimize the foot print there of my mic equipment, I use a round-based mic stand (instead of one with a tripod), and, instead of using a separate music stand to hold my scripts, I have an attachment mounted on that mic stand which serves that purpose. The only problem with this is that the script holder is just heavy enough to make the mic stand a bit unstable and susceptible to tipping. Thankfully, the circular sand bag from The Sandbag Store is a perfect solution for this problem. It's pretty much the same diameter as the base of my mic stand, it weighs more than enough to offset the weight of the script holder, and it's totally easy to attach around the base of the mic stand. I am very happy with it!
Pros
  • Does a great job, easy to attach, and was delivered quickly.
Cons
  • None.

July 19, 2018
We have an umbrella on a roof deck and wanted weight it down for stronger winds. This simple sandbag worked wonders. It's very strongly made and should last longer than the umbrella. I would highly recommend it. I'll be looking for more products from this company.

Perfect Sandbag

The perfect circular sandbag for our umbrella stands. Easily adds that extra weight needed for those windy days.
By Melvin D.

OK, but?
July 11, 2018
I have used the product about ten times. I was always nervous that my umbrella would tip over, and it did. I was able to catch it, but if I had stepped off, there was a chance that my equipment could have been damaged.

Merchant Response:Thanks for the review Melvin! I am sorry to hear that a single bag was not heavy enough for your umbrella. As you have stated, these Circular Sandbags are stackable, and have the same great appearance with 2, 3, or 10 bags stacked. We do understand that having us pre-fill the bags does add some cost, however we do still offer free shipping in the USA with that added 25 lbs of sand! Thank you again for taking the time to provide us feedback. We really do have the worlds greatest customers.
Pros
  • Perfect for the base. Very attractive stage appearance.
Cons
  • Still to light for some wind conditions. Need to use two of them for best results. $25.00 extra for the filled bag is a little expensive. I would have to recommend using two.

We bought 2 of these sandbags to help hold down our offset umbrella and the crank for our pool's solar blanket roller. We filled them easily with bagged sand. The handle on the outside makes them easy to carry. The clip holds the bag in place after you wrap it around the pole. We are very happy with this product and would recommend it to others.

Circular Sandbags
June 22, 2018
We love the circular sandbags. They look so much better with our pipe and drapery rather than the standard rectangular/square bags. The only issue I've noticed is that sometimes sand will come out of the bags where the zipper is located. Any recommendations?

Merchant Response:Thanks for the great review. To help with sand coming out of the zipper, put 5lbs of sand into sandwich baggies. Then put those bags into the circular sandbag. The ziplock bags work as a liner that doesn't allow the fine particles to escape. Alternatively, select "Filled" when you buy them, and we will impulse seal (heat weld) the sand into plastic bags, put those bags into your circular sandbags, and ship them to you ready-to-use. We are updating the wording on the included guide to include this instruction to better help our customers going forward. Thanks again for the feedback.

This product works exactly as advertised and arrived promptly from the Sandbag Store. I use 2 of them to secure my favorite hammock in the back yard patio to ensue it does not end up in the pool during a high wind event. Excellent product. Excellent service.

Brilliant Idea!!
June 22, 2018
With the popularity of the small, two-person stand-type umbrellas, this is a genius solution to an inherent issues with them - toppling over. I'm sure there's a million other uses for these, but we love that we can use the handles to carry with us to events where we'll need sun protection, but perhaps won't be able to stake umbrella into ground. We filled ours with pea gravel and we take it with us whenever we'll need some secure shade at festivals, beaches and even just in our yard. Great idea!!
Pros
  • A little pricey, but perhaps as popularity grows, the price will come down.

I wish I had known about these Circular Sandbags years ago. They are easy to handle, fit around the umbrellas perfectly, and now my umbrellas will stand a lot of wind instead of falling with a gentle breeze. So happy I found them!!
