Buying Sandbags in Dallas?

[AggieFactFinder]

anybody know where I can buy some (already filled)?

So far no dice from Home Depot, Lowe's, Elliot's, and Jackson Pottery.

What about Sandbag King at the mall?

From what I'm seeing, most of your sandbag options are going to come through the city / county / state government & since Dallas really isn't considered a high risk flood area, they probably aren't gonna be stocking up on them to hand out.

Know anyone in the coastal areas?

The only other option I might see is http://SandBagExpress.com with options for overnight shipping (500 bags @ $ 170.00, lower prices in larger volume).

Also, you should look into the "GoBagger".>The Link

thanks Rox. It looks like Sandbag Express is just the bags, whereas I need ones already filled.

I've bought them before here but the usual suspects are out.

Can't you fill them yourself?

I'm guessing the shipping costs are pretty steep on pre-filled sandbags.

HD, Lowes, etc. sell playsand in plastic bags in gardening-will those work??

A place that is even cooler than Elliot's is Turner Hardware. I'll bet they have the bags, but I don't know about pre-filled.

I have seen McMansion crews use them to hold mesh grates over stormwater drains to keep debris out, so there are certainly some non-emergency uses.

Good luck!
