Hessian sandbags are, as the name suggests, used for carrying sand, soil or other grain like materials from place to place and as a result are made from an incredibly durable material.

Hessian is a heavy and sturdy fabric that's made from a natural jute fabric that is eco-friendly and biodegradable - being able to withstand heavy floods for 4 - 6 weeks on average before breaking down. This material is relatively inexpensive to purchase and so makes these sandbags a great cost effective solution to a number of issues.

Sandbags are most notably seen as a form of flood control, being able to protect against the waters flow and in many cases prevent the flood itself from spreading - they're also used as a form of weight for keeping heavy items like signs in place or even to help anchor ships.

Often seen in construction or military based industries.
