how much sand can each bag hold?

I bought a 50b bag of sand and that was enough to fill just under 3 bags. So, my estimate is about 20lbs each.

I do know that a 5 gallon bucket of sand only filled 3 bags and 1/4 of the last one. So, they hold about 8 gallons of sand altogether. I hope this helps. I didn't weigh it, but that's a lot of sand.

You can fit two bags on the tray... I've been using sand in my 25lb bags , you can aIso hang two bags in the back lower bar or put all four on tray but they will over hang

I bought a bade from Home Depot to hold it. It's basically weight. You can always use sand bags

i just transferred old bags of play sand I had out in the yard into these bags and they were 50 pound bags.. so full they hold 50 pounds.

Yes, you can use 25 lb sandbags to hold each corner. Blast Zone, the manufacturer, has them on their site.

I don't remember seeing how much it can hold either, but I have 22 pounds of sand in it and feel that it can handle a little bit more. The sand shifts around a bit and I'd like it to be a bit more still. Does that make sense?

One container/jar of sand is enough for it. They need to make bigger sand boxes! Easier to control kids with this size, though.

Absolutely,, play ground sand which I seem to recall one bag is 40lbs. I combined sand and several bricks which may have totaled a bit under the recommended weight ? I think they recommend 80lbs..so I would encourage using at least the minimal recommended wght to minimize issues. I mean once it's together you're not gonna want to take it apart. I have had NO PROBLEM and I am very satisfied with this product.

Whatever sand does get into the bag will fall out through the mesh. I find it easier to shake the sand out of the mesh bag than to empty your cloth bag and then shake it out. The only downside of this bag is that it is heavier than I thought it would be and the material is a little rough on your shoulder and arm if you're not wearing a cover up.

I think one bag would be plenty. You can break them off at intervals, and I believe that's more than enough.

The bags are a heavy unlined canvas and have a fold at the top with velcro that keeps it tight. If you filled them with water it would leak through the bag and the top. I'm assuming your wondering about water so you don't have to carry the 40lb bags of sand around. I'm thinking if you could find some kind of water/liquid bladder that you could slide into the bags then then fill with water. You may want to check into a sporting goods store, but that option may be quite expensive especially since you would need 4 of them.

It calls for 50lb., I found that after FOLLOWING the direction that it held some less than 50lb. Most bags you will buy from the pool supply's are 50lb. BE SURE to follow the directions of the pump manufacturer to properly prep the sand before use!!!

We used 12 5-Gallon buckets and there was still plenty of room. I think in the description or one of the reviews it recommends a certain amount of sand.

It has been awhile but I think I went with this formula. 5' x 5' x 0.5 =12.5 cubic feet. Home depot sold play sand in .5 cubic feet bags pretty cheap so I went with 12 to 16 bags and filled it halfway which was plenty. My daughter loves it at 5 and it is much better than the plastic boxes.

I put a 50 pound bag and a half of another 50lb bag in ours. That was regular sand.

Sorry, I thought you were asking about the tent its' self, seems you are looking at the bag weights. They are a medium weight nylon like material. We used quart zip lock bags to put the sand in and filled the weight bags with those to keep the sand from coming through the material. Each one held 40 pounds of sand.

use a small sewing pin and poke a few holes in a gallon zip lock baggie for storage. You can also do the same with a tupperware type container, poke some small holes in the lid to allow the sand to "breathe".
