How to Use Sandbags for Hurricane Protection: A Complete Homeowner’s Guide

When a hurricane is forecast, there’s no time to waste. Sandbags are one of the most cost-effective and immediate ways to protect your home or building from storm surge and heavy rain. But using them effectively takes some know-how.

At BJ’s SandBags, we recommend placing sandbags:

Around doorways, garage doors, and low-lying windows
In layers with overlapping seams to block water
With a plastic barrier for extra protection

We provide pre-filled sandbags ready to deploy, and bulk unfilled bags if you prefer to DIY. Don’t wait until the warning sirens—prepare early and stay safe.
