Bag stands can speed the bag filling process. Doni and Kaki provide details for building bag stands in their excellent book Earthbag Building: The Tools, Tricks and Techniques. I like using a “bucket chute” — a plastic bucket with the bottom cut out. Here we present two commercially available bag stands for those who don’t want to make one.
Sandbagging Frame
- Removable legs to enable storage in small space
- Saves bending while holding the bag
- Prevents knuckle injuries that might occur when one person is holding the bag while another one shovels the material in
- Suits hesian bag size (230mm wide) and silt bag size (250mm wide)
Sandbagging Frame
SandHopper
- One person fills fast
- Easier and safer
- No power source required
- Take it where you need it
- Lessens backstrain and fatigue
- The HopperHook (optional) attaches the Sandhopper to the delivery vehicle, enabling filling of bags directly from the source.
