Sandbags have been used to combat flooding for hundreds of years. Of course, this is not without reason; the method has simply proven itself.

A house close to water is a dream for many, but it quickly becomes a nightmare when there is flooding. That’s why it’s important to be prepared. Sandbags should be at the top of your to-do list.

In addition to the tried and tested jute sacks, there are also polypropylene sandbags that are used to protect against flooding. In specialist shops you can also find sandbag tubes, for example, that are significantly longer than the usual sandbags.
