Commonly Asked Questions About BIG BAGS USA®
BIG BAGS USA® flood barriers provide lightening fast flood protection at a fraction of the cost. There is no sandbag deployment method that equals the speed in which a BIG BAGS USA® barrier can be placed. With such a unique product, people have a lot of questions about the BIG BAGS USA® systems. Here are the answers to some of the questions we hear a lot:1. What are the advantages of the BIG BAGS USA® systems?
There are many advantages to using the BIG BAGS USA® systems for flood mitigation. The main advantage is the lack of labor involved with assembly and filling. Our systems can easily be placed and filled by two men in less than 10 minutes. The second advantage is the speed with which you can protect an area from flooding. The third would be the cost savings compared to any other flood protection product available.
2. Are the BIG BAGS USA® systems stackable?
Yes, our flood barrier systems can easily be stacked to any height. We recommend that you stack them like a pyramid for the best results. If you were trying to fight 10 feet of flood water, then you would need to stack the systems 4 layers tall. The base of the barrier should also be 4 layers wide.
3. Can you re-use the BIG BAGS USA® systems?
The answer is absolutely! The bags are tough enough for more than one use. There's no need to budget for new systems on every project. Clean-up is easy and you can simply warehouse the bags, sand included, for the next use. However, depending on the situation, it may be more cost effective to just buy more systems instead of cleaning, re-assembling and then storing them.
4. When filled with sand, how much does one bag weigh?
Depending on the wetness of the sand, one bag can weigh anywhere from 2,800 lbs to 3,200 lbs. If you need to move the bags after they are already filled, you can use the BIG BAGS USA® patented spreader bar.
5. How big is one BIG BAGS USA® system?
One of our flood barrier systems is comprised of 5 individual bags connected to one another. These are equal to 15 linear feet by 3 feet tall.
6. How long does it take for delivery of the BIG BAGS USA® systems?
Delivery time depends on the size of the order. Typically, it will take 5 to 7 business days to be delivered to your destination.
7. Who are the competitors of BIG BAGS USA®?
There are other barrier manufacturers out there that actually work, but please consider the following:
- Cost Comparison
- Speed of Deployment
- Speed of Removal
- Investment Return on Uncontaminated Sand
8. What do you do with the bags when the flood waters are gone?
After the flood waters recede, you have many options. Depending on how often your community floods, should determine if you want to keep the sand in the bags for later use. Once these bags are filled and broken loose from the rest of the system, they can be placed on pallets and stacked outside. The next time you need to use them they will already be filled. You can also use these to cover man hole covers and sewer drains.

Let the machines do all the work for your. Our BIG BAGS USA® systems are very simple to use and cost effective when comparing to the alternatives.
