VISEMAN4PCS Sports Net Sandbags, Weighted Anchor Bags for Baseball & Golf Nets,Soccer Goals, Hockey Nets

These were easy to fill and works perfectly to hold down my chairs outside in the wind

I filled each anchor bag with 10 lbs of sand and I've paired these anchor bags with bungie cords with adjustable hooks attached to their straps. I have used them for a couple months now and the anchor bags seem durable so far.NITPICK: I might take a half star off for the plastic baggie inserts being noticeably smaller in volume than the actual bag. The fit is just a little sloppier than I would have preferred.

I bought them for our out door movie screen, to keep it and stationary, it was super easy, bought a 50lbs of play sand to fill, the fact it has Velcro to wrap around and secure.

2023-06-16. Weighted Anchor Bags by VISEMAN. 4 pcs. Orange.Upon initial inspection of these bags, I'm pretty impressed.They're made of polyester. The unit of measure is DENIER and refers to the fibers weight and thickness. In general the higher the number, the heavier and thicker the yarn used in the material's construction. As a reference 600D is the most common weight used in backpacks and luggage. And you probably guessed it, the higher the weight of the same fabric, the stronger it is. e.g. 700D is heavier and stronger than 600D. These bags are 300 Denier which I think is a good weight for its purpose. They don't need to be super abrasion resistant to withstand getting dragged along the sidewalk on the walk home from school, and with a thicker fabric comes less flexibility (for storage), bulk, and weight.Polyester is a plastic, so naturally it's highly water resistant. The tighter the weave of the polyester fabric the more waterproof it is (and the higher the Denier). These anchors will easily repel rain, but water will eventually soak through in a downpour of if submerged under water (there is a covered zipper where water will enter through as well if submerged). The other good point of this is that polyester doesn't absorb water (it's plastic), so even if it does get water trapped within the weave, it will dry fairly quickly in the sun and will not mold. Why all this mention of water? Well its more relevant than you may think. Remember, you're using sand as weight, and sand can take on more water than these anchors. So if you don't use the provided plastic bags and dump sand directly into the anchors, then get them wet, you'll get some nice sludge you'll need to clean. Cleaning will be easily, just flip it inside out, and hose it off then dry them in the sun, but it's cleaning you can avoid if you just use the included sealable bags.These anchor bags are super versatile and can be used for many applications. on the backside, there is a long vertical strap that you can wrap around any type of pole that is secured by hook and loop fastening (AKA Velcro). You can also use it without the strap and just rest these anchor bags on the surface of what you want to hold down. In addition to items mentioned in the product details, I tried these anchors on a portable Badminton net and they worked just fine. I also tried it on my 10 foot popup tent. In this application, the bags rested vertically and "slouched", but they still did a so-so job of anchoring it down a bit more. This test was a bit extreme as something like a popup tent really needs to be staked down, not weighted down. I also used it on my 8 foot Sport-Brella and they worked well with this application.Note: during my testing, it was very breeze, but there were no strong winds. My best guess is nothing higher than 10 mph. I know that by open water, winds can pick way up to 3-4 times this speed and that would really put these anchors to the test. Unfortunately, I'm not Storm for the X-Men so I can't control the weather when I want...Overall, I'm pleased with these anchor bags by VISEMAN. The material was a good choice and weight, and the design was well thought out in providing the strap closure for extra security when affixing to poles. But I get it, what good is a review without some critical points. Well, from a functional perspective I didn't find anything to complain about. But If I had to nit-pik at something, I'm going to pick the attachable strap. This strap provides a secure fitting on poles or bars with a 1" diameter. They could have made this strap larger to accommodate larger poles (maybe up to 2" in diameter) to make this even more versatile than it already is. The only other notable is the storage bag that this set came with. There is a sealable storage bag to hold these anchor bags, but it's really small, In fact, I had a very hard time getting these bags back in there because once used, they're no longer vacuum pressed and consume more space. They should have provided a larger storage back for easier access. This bag was made of plastic, which is a poor choice of materials because it's subject to tear if excess stress is put on the seams (which is easy to do if you're not careful). In the end, I decided not to use the provided storage bag. I just stuffed three of these anchor bags into the fourth. I'm not docking any stars for this because the bags themselves are functional, and the storage does not affect that.

So far, I am pleased with the exterior polyester bags. At first I was afraid they wouldn’t be very durable, but it turns out they are pretty sturdy. My problem is with the plastic zip top bags that hold the sand inside of the exterior polyester bags. The item description when ordering said I would receive leak-proof clear bags to go inside the exterior polyester bags. While I didn’t have a problem with the zippers on the clear plastic bags coming undone, each of my clear zip top bags have ripped horizontally down the middle. I now have to try to find and purchase zip top bags that are not only more durable, but that will fit inside the exterior polyester bags as well as the originals.

This sandbag kit comes with everything but the sand. I like how it includes the plastic bag to make sure sand does not spill. The grab handle and fold over flap is genius.Thank you for taking the time to read my review and photos of this product. I hope it has been helpful in providing you with more information.

Didn’t even last one year without ripping.
