So here is a handy howto:

peagravel Howto: Make a Sandbag.
My sandbag was not a sandbag, it was in fact, a Pea Gravel Bag.

Materials Needed

  • Pea Gravel/Shingle (Here for £1.82/25kg)
  • Heavy Duty Rubble Sacks (Here for £3.06/10 bags)
  • Canvas Kit Bag (Here for £3.00 (£7.00 delivery so buy a few))
  • Tie Wraps (Here for £3.94/100)
  • Duct Tape (Here for £1.19)

Instructions

  1. Leave the Pea Gravel inside for a while to dry, I spread mine out on a plastic sheet to speed this up.
  2. Fill up Heavy Duty Rubble Sacks with how much weight you want in Pea Gravel. I filled up 3 bags with 10kg to make 30kg in total.
  3. Now put all these smaller bags into the Canvas Kit Bag.
  4. Tie wrap the bag closed and duct tape over the tie wrap so it doesn't poke you while lifting the bag.
  5. Cut off the strap.
  6. I then like to write the weight of the bag on the bottom so I can easily see how much each one weighs.
