2 Pack Heavy Duty Pool Weight Plastic Sand Bags,Universal Pool Steps Weights for Above Ground Pools,Fillable Ladder Weight Anchor Bag Container for Swimming Entry Systems

Not sure how long they will last, but, we added approx. 35 lbs of pea gravel to each one and zip tied them to the pool steps. I picked them up by holding under the bags as I wasn't sure how seams and handles would hold up when filled. I am sure there was enough room in them to hold 50 lbs of sand or gravel. So far they are doing a great job of keeping the steps from floating up. Price was good and quality seems okay so far.

These sand bags were great. Not easy to fill but once they were they held our steps down for the swim season. The best thing was they did not create in green algae under the steps.

Filling was a bit of a pain with getting the sand in. I used 2 bags for stairs. Didn’t come with any tie downs so had to use haybale strings and the stairs still float a bit. The stairs I bought don’t have a closed bottom so nothing to set it on only to tie it to the sides with the bags underneath. During the summer I’ll have to rig something so the stairs don’t float. My replaced pool is above my deck now as it is taller than my original pool. Adjustments to add post to tag into my help.

These were a great price and had decent reviews so I thought I would give them a shot. I was impressed with the thickness of the plastic they are made from and I like that there are 2 handles: one on the top and one on the side. I just didn't realize how hard it would be to get the sand in! The hole is half the size of the other ones I had- if even half. I attempted a few different funnels (homemade and regular ones) and NOTHING worked. I eventually cut the spout off a gallon water container and duct taped the rest of the bottle to the opening... I was then finally able to fill it about 75% of the way before I got frustrated with it spilling all over and called it good.The positive side of it is that it IS working. I was able to get it behind my "entrance system" (steps,lol) and onto the bottom brace and just one bag is holding the ladder down. And since there is NO WAY I am voluntarily going through all that again I now have a spare! Hopefully it will hold up to the water pressure. If you can figure out a way to fill them that's better than my method then you should take the chance and buy them...

They are difficult to fill. they leak.. The water gets in the sand gets out.. I would give a negative star if I could... Don't waste your money!!!

WORKS GREAT MADE FROM A HEAVY MATERIAL RECOMMEND

Perfect product to anchor down our pool steps. We used 4 of these that were easy to fill and the handles made them easy to maneuver for installation. These are exactly as described and will use them every season when we open our pool.

I give this a 2 because trying to put the sand into these is incredibly time consuming. It will take more than an hour to get the sand into these 2 bags. Sure they work but there is no way to attach them to the ladder/stairs so you will have to figure it out for yourself on how to weigh you device down. I have already started looking for something better to use.
