RIOGOO Sand Weights

Purchased for a 2m x 2m canopy which couldn't be anchored to the ground due to it being concrete. Filled with sand (there is a strong velcro closure strip when the bag has been filled with sand) they are heavy but easily carried into situ and fit with strong velcro to the struts of the canopy. The bags did get wet, but didn't 'leak' sand and the canopy didn't move in a stiff breeze. I was confident it could have stood more with these bags anchoring it down. I've not given 5* for Water Resistance only because the sand did get wet inside through the closure in the top - but wasn't a problem . The Velcro - although probably strong enough to take considerable weight - will eventually go but definitely not within the next 12 months or even longer. Well made and does the job promised.

Does the job. Only negative is the Velcro straps to attach them to a Gazebo, are too long so they hang loose. Not the most secure of attachments to the gazebo leg. Designed for gazebos with large cross section legs. Say 6x6 cm. Will be doing a slight modification with more Velcro to make strap fit 3x3 cm cross section.

Just what I required good quality

I bought eight of these quality sand bag pockets to weight down my pop up gazebo. I am very pleased with them. I just filled one side of the double pockets, but if filling both sides they can be used to secure tent poles by using the velcro tags, which are sewn into the bags. They measure approximately 43cm wide on the side the sand goes in, by 38cm deep. They have a useful lifting tag sewn into the material that runs along the depth of the bag in the centre and forms a loop to the outside edge. I bought four bags of builders sand from B&Q (£2 a bag) and used three to fill just one side of the bags, so six bags will be enough if wanting to fill both pouches. These are good quality items, which should last for years to come.

Good price, good weights, gives great stability, quality material

They seem to hold my Coleman Event Shelter in place very well on the patio. Hasn't been really windy yet, but I will update this review with how well they cope when it is. UPDATE these held my shelter firm through all the February storms. AMAZING!!! I'm using sand. It will be very handy on the beach if, as I expect, it works ok. The shelter has been up a week now, with plenty of wet, gusty days, and it hasn't moved an inch. Amazing! Many thanks!

Sturdily made, easy to fill and attach , remaining stable in rough weather. Recommended. Punctual delivery and value for money.

I bought these for the gazebo on my balcony. Although they don't look as good with them on they match well with the gazebo and have kept it in place through relatively strong gusts of wind. They attach to the poll with Velcro straps that seem to hold well. I filled them all with sand and my gazebo has been up for a couple of months now despite my balcony being quite high up and getting a lot of wind. I don't know how long they will last for but they seem quite sturdy for a bag and I am hopeful for getting a couple of years out of them.
