4 Reasons to Use Big Bags USA® Flood Barriers

Over the next few months, we will be moving from one flooding season to another. It’s important as a community to address the challenges that you will all face with flash flooding, snowmelt, hurricanes, and more. Making a plan now can help to avoid damage in the future, so it’s important to gather all of the tools that you will need to face the flooding head on. Here at Big Bags USA®, we provide incredible flood barriers for both commercial or personal use. In fact, they are the fastest deployed barrier anywhere! Here are four reasons you’ll want to keep Big Bags USA® stocked and ready to go at a moments notice.


#1. They Are Fast

Big Bags USA® flood barrier system is 200 times faster to deploy than a traditional sandbag wall. On five-ag system can be placed and filled by two men in less than 10 minutes. This is equal to 15 linear feet every ten minutes. There is no other sandbag deployment method that equals the speed of deployment possible with Big Bags USA®.

#2. They Are Economical

Not only can you get these flood barriers up in minutes, but they are also a fraction of the cost of regular sandbags. The systems can be re-used so that you aren’t having to budget for new ones every year. There are no costly contracts for clean-up, you just have to warehouse the bags and sand for later. Another way that they are economical is that the simplistic design allows more systems to be deployed by fewer workers, using less training and natural resources than sandbags.

Finally, One Big Bags USA protective flood barrier system replaces 750 regular sandbags. This is just in the footprint! If you were to stack regular sandbags to meet 40” in height, it would equal to 1500 sandbags. By using the Big Bags USA systems you save 52% on the raw materials alone.


#3. They Are Easy To Fill

Big Bags USA flood barrier systems are easily filled to the top or near the top of bags height. There are no additional ‘techniques or requirements’ to fill the sandbags. The flood barrier can be filled with a loader, excavator, crane, and bucket or a cement mixer. The front loader is the favored option for speed and efficiency of filling.


#4. They Are Durable

Our high-quality flood barriers are made from 6mm thick polypropylene. They are made with the highest UV resistant polymers available as well, which increases their longevity in sunlight. In fact, these bags are so durable, that they can be re-used. You can store them in a warehouse with the sand kept in the bags for the next use.

Each bag system includes:
▪ Our 50 lbs. (22.25 km) lightweight accordion design.
▪ Five 27 cu. ft. (35.28 cu. m.) high strength polypropylene Big Bags
▪ The patented U-frame design allows the systems to open up and remain standing, in place, for filling. Any number of systems can be connected together.
▪ Tightly woven utility loops for easy lifting and deployment
▪ Optional closed top Big Bags USA systems for submerging underwater. Often used for cofferdams.
▪ The highest in Ultra-Violet protection available.
