I'm on # 2 !
December 9, 2021
I was so happy with my 1st one, I found another use for it. I wrote a 2nd review. Sadly, it was 1 per customer and they couldn't accept my praises. But, since I've purchased another, I get another shot. Yeah!
Originally, I got this to hold a very large umbrella stand on my newly constructed porch. I didn't want to screw it to my new deck. I might feel like adjusting where it sits, you know. I, typically, close the umbrella at night. But, the wind picked up one day while I was out and it tipped over. Like I said, LARGE umbrella. I think it's part parachute. I figured heavier is better. I ordered a second. However, that was not the only reason I purchased my 2nd. Last Christmas a set a little, artificial, tree on my new deck. I used the sandbag to anchor the base, on the table, so it couldn't blow over. And, it did not disappoint. Sat there, throughout, whatever cruddy weather, came to pass. I'm in IL. Trust me, LOTS of cruddy winter weather, here. Don't ask.
This year I decided to place my little tree on a higher perch, so it's more visible. One sandbag is around the rung of the stool, the other is at the base of the tree. Trust me, none of those things is moving, no matter how the wind howls. Just sayin. I love these things. So, well constructed and sturdy. Great zippers ! Wish my winter coat was so nice. Happy Christmas EVERYONE ! Stay healthy and thanks again for asking my opinion. I love these things.
Merchant Response:Thanks for the great review and wonderful insight on how you use your circular sandbags Karen! We have the greatest customers.
Pros
- Sturdy construction. Great zippers. Easy to fill. Solid handle for moving.
Cons
- Pretty darned heavy once it's filled. Not really a 'con'. Im 4'11 & 120 lbs. It's just me. Really.
