RIOGOO Sand Weights

Just what I required good quality

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

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.

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

These are great weights. We added 7.5kg of sand to each weight and put it around each gazebo leg which held the gazebo firmly in place. Simple but strong velcro open close for compartments for sand (2) and loop with velcro ends to wrap around the poles. One suggestion for manufacturer would be the square of velcro for around the pole means it does not fit tightly where straps/strips made of velcro would have provided adjustment tight to the pole. This however did not matter in our case and we packed the bags tightly round our poles against a wall. The feet (that fit tightly), meant the poles could not slip up when the wind caught the tarpaulin. Overall did the job.

Got these a while back but wanted to use them a few times. They’re really easy to use and the can fit any gazebo. The straps need to be wrapped round the leg twice which is a pain but will attach the Velcro with a bit of trial and error. The pouches for the weights are Velcro top so simply open, fill and close. They seem like they’re made to be quite strong but I would change the strap so it’s like a belt instead.. through a loop and pull tight.

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.
