Trademark InnovationsSaddlebag Style Sand Weight Bag for Anchoring Patio Umbrellas by Trademark Innovations (Single Unit) Black

I like these bags. I was able to slide a 50lbs bad of sand into them without much fuss. They have double zippers to prevent spilling but I put the sand in without taking it out of the bag it came in.I do have an issue with the description. This is a single unit not two. I understood that when I purchased per the remarks and reading the description a couple of times and I purchased 2.Other than that, I cannot complain about anything as far as their construction. I will update later this year or sooner if they fail.

The bags that came with our off set umbrella leaked after one year. It had 2 bags but held as much as 4 of these. They were so heavy and hard to move or store. These have double zippers on each side. They are easier to use and move. I lined each side with a garbage bag and then filled it. I sealed it with silicone cable organizers. I am a 73 year old woman. I did need a second set of hands to put them in place if I can do it I am sure you can too. I can't promise how long they will last but I expect they will last longer than the original bags. I plan on saving boxes to store them in and will store them in my shed during our Michigan winters.

We have a 11ft patio umbrella with a weighted base from a "box store" for the side of our pool. The 2 green weighted bags that came with the umbrella held 100lbs of gravel apiece! And they were very difficult to move as they were floppy weight. I spent 3 summers getting help from friends to move these 100lb bags into a wheel-barrel and putting them into base of the umbrella or the storage shed. I bought these and transferred the rocks into these bags and this year setting up the umbrella was so easy packing 50lb bags instead of 100lb! The double zippers seemed very secure and the bags are easy to arrange in the patio umbrella base. Highly recommended if you have a large cantilever patio umbrella.

We tried these for the 1st time last summer and just ordered another set. Love them! In Henderson, NV, its windy and sometimes very strong winds. Our hammock and patio umbrella that was in a heavy duty stand would both blow over when winds were strong. So I went straight to Amazon like i do nearly everyday and purchased these. Not one single time has the umbrellas and hammock stand/hammock blown over...or moved even an inch. We bought 50 lb bags of play sand for each bag at Walmart and put the whole bag in unopened as I didn’t want a mess to clean up with sand spilling as I filled the bags. They have handles so you can move them when it’s not windy or you are entertaining in your backyard. As for us, we leave them on at all times. Great remedy for keeping things upright!

purchased these to replace original sand bags that came with my cantilever patio umbrella, These bags are better made and are not plastic like the originals, which dried up and cracked. They were easy to fill and very sturdy once filled. Easy to move into the umbrella base and arrange so the the base cover could be reinstalled. Very pleased with purchase.

Lifting 50 pounds of sand is never a pleasant experience, but these bags are really helpful. First of all, they have a very wide double zipper, so you can insert an entire bag of sand, unopened. The two weighted bags make an umbrella very secure. Also, the double zipper (one from each direction overlapping each other) on the bags seem to make them waterproof as well which means that the sand won't become weighted with water. The bags are liftable by a handle in the middle, so they fold in half and can be carried like a suitcase -- much easier than lugging a big bag. All in all, an excellent product that does what its supposed to do very well.

Just what needed to avoid patio unbrella casualty #3. Pretty heavy duty. Hoping they hold up to the elements. Helpful hint: you can actually work it so you can put the entire bag of sand in the bag (along with the bag it comes in.) Dont be like me and try to scoop it in. It gets messy, plus the sand granules will get stuck in the zipper (which is a double zipper btw)

After trying a few different anchoring devices for my umbrella, I found these saddlebags and they're perfect! Each one holds 50 pounds of sand and are easy to fill with a double zipper system to close. There's a strap in the middle so they're easy to lift when I want to move the umbrella. Two of these give me 100-pound weight which is fine when there's no wind. I'm quite happy with these and will buy two more for the windy days.

Expensive for what it is. But we've put a bag of stones in ours still in the plastic bag. Doing the job.

Item just arrived and I am disappointed and surprised to find that there is only one saddle bag as the description is very misleading as I thought it was two! Will not be recommending this product as I now have to purchase another one which I will be getting from another site! Disgruntled customer.

they work very well

The bag is very well made and easy to use, however even though the photo shows two double bags and the description shows 'bags' there is only ONE double bag in a package. You will need two double bags to fully secure the base of the umbrella, A sealed bag of stones or sand easily fit into the bag. Works very well and straps make securing it to the base or carrying it very easy.

Dans la description de l'article ça dit qu'il y a deux sacs mais finalement il y avait un seul sac lors de la livraison. La qualité est bonne mais la description est vraiment trompeuse. Il faudrait même qu'ils changent leur unique photo pour un seul sac au lieu de deux.
