Customer Reviews for VEVOR Flood Barrier, 3.66 m Length x 51 cm Height Sandbag Alternative, Water Barrier for Flooding with Great Waterproof Effect, Reusable PVC Water Diversion Tubes, Flood Barriers for Home, Door, Garage

We needed a semi-permanent spring through summer solution to rainy years. Water runs down the hill from the neighborhood and if it rains hard enough the water runs up against our foundation and the basement leaks. This is due to previous owners adding too much fill to the lawn when they removed a swimming pool in the 90s. I figured how to stop the problem from happening by using Quick Dams that puff up on demand. But the price of those is too high compared to owning this reusable PVC tube. The material is nice enough. I was mostly concerned with how thin it was, but it's reinforced PVC kind of like the floor of a nice tent or a life raft. It's nicer than your kid's inflatable wading pool, so my worries were relieved when I took it out of the box. It comes with two black pieces which I assume are patches. The 'wings' it comes with I will not be using, but they're yellow and can be kept to use as patches. I'm sure rubber cement will work well to fix this if needed. Most of the negative reviews are people trying to stop a one-time event and then drain and remove the thing. I plan on inflating in April and leaving until July. I didn't have any problems filling it with my garden nose. Make sure the filler it pointed up and that it's at the highest level and you can get the whole thing to fill all the way. I got the yellow one because it won't get as hot in the sun hopefully, but now we have a giant 24 foot lawn banana. But it's a necessary evil to keep my house dry for the time being until I win the lottery and can call out heavy earth moving companies to swale and tile my back yard.

I live near the water in Florida and had an issue with flooding a few years ago during a hurricane. I purchased these with hopes that I would never need them, but was happy when the most recent hurricane rolled into the Gulf of Mexico. They did an excellent job with blocking the water. The shipping and packing was great. The bags were easy to use. Simply roll them out and fill them with water. One piece of advice is to make sure you have the bags exactly where you want them before you fill them up because they are near impossible to move once they are full of water. If you're putting them around your home, I'd recommend putting them against the exterior wall versus out in the yard. The sheer weight of the bags will prevent any water from coming underneath the bags. I also added a layer of landscaping plastic under the bag and against the home to provide an extra layer of protection as I was concerned about water coming underneath. I don't think the plastic was necessary, but it gave peace of mind incase the water did come up higher than the bags. I utilized my normal garden hose to fill the 24 x 20 x 12 bags. Each bag took approximately 45 minutes to fill up, so be sure to allow enough time for this. I did not try to stack the bags, but I may in the future as one side of my house tends to get more exposure due to the location of the shoreline. The bags were easy to empty. After getting the water out, I used my shop vac to extract the rest of the water and the air, which made it easier to fold the bags up for storage. I was able to fit three empty 24' bags in each 27 gallon storage bin. I highly recommend these flood prevention barriers.

The flood bags were packed well and the shipping was fast. I had a problem where I had to reach out to customer service the online chat box is the best way to contact them my problem was fixed quickly. These flood bag are great if you are preparing for hurricane season

This does protect as it was designed but you need a flat area to put it on, as it will roll when filled (even on a slight slope) and then you need to empty it to put it back in place. I had to use stakes through the loops on the side to keep it in place.

Utilisé pour entrainement: nécessite env 20 minutes pour la mise en place. remplissage et vidage sont faciles. Il faut bien positionner le boudin à vide car une fois plein, il est imbougeable (c'est aussi ce qu'on recherche). le matériel semble de bonne qualité. plus pratique qu'un batardeau, pour des inondations modérées.

I got this product to control storm water runoff from the road that flooded my yard and entered my foundation. First, it's BIG. I didn't realize it would be rubber raft size. Second, it's rugged. Third, the yellow color screams anchors away! So if you're trying to hide the fact that your basement floods - don't buy this. Fourth, make sure you put the fill caps up. It is too late if it's half full to discover you should have rotated it more. It holds so much water that after I got mine only half full, it weighed a ton! No rearranging after the fact. If you're serious about flood control, this is a serious product.

Funktioniert zur Wasserumleitung wie beschrieben. Allerdings dauert das Füllen schon ein bisschen und sie kann halt nur vor Ort gefüllt werden. Wenn mal Wasser drin ist, dann lässt sie sich halt kaum mehr bewegen (ist ja auch Sinn der Sache). Stapeln lassen sich die Barrieren eher nicht/nur schwer. Ich habe sie am Start um Wasser das bei Starkregen einen Weg runtergeschossen kommt in die Wiese zu leiten und "auszubremsen". Dafür ist sie nahezu perfekt und ich spare mir viel Sandsack Schlepperei.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: While they look like this picture they are very heavy to move and they did not really stop the water as well as I thought they would.

they were purchased for the hurricane a lot of work to set up and put away its almost time to take them out again so far they work

For the price of them they are a decent product overall….you need to be careful with them quality is decent but you will get holes in them if you use them for a while and have to move them around much…..overall I recommend them.
