Hessian Sand Bags - Standard Size - Biodegradable Jute Sacks

Whether you need emergency flood protection or are organising a classic school sports day, Rally Hessian Sand Bags are the reliable, eco-friendly choice. Made from natural jute fibres, these traditional sandbags are biodegradable and robust. Each bag comes with a convenient side tie attached, allowing for quick and secure closure once filled. Sold in bundles of 50, they are an essential stockpile item for emergency services, councils, and homeowners alike.

Best For Emergency flood protection, construction site counterweights, temporary retaining walls, and traditional sack races.

Key Features

• Integrated Side Tie: Features a pre-attached tie string for quick and easy sealing, eliminating the need to hunt for separate twine during emergency situations.

• High Capacity: Designed to hold between 15kg to 25kg of sand, creating a heavy and stable barrier against water or a solid anchor weight.

• Biodegradable Material: Made from natural hessian (jute), these bags are environmentally friendly and will naturally decompose over time, making them safe for long-term use in soil erosion projects.

• Versatile Utility: While built for heavy-duty flood prevention, the soft yet strong fabric makes them equally suitable for root balling plants or use in recreational sack races.

• Standard Dimensions: Measuring approximately 838mm x 357mm, they are the standard size for stacking and interlocking to build effective defensive walls.

Oversized Item Delivery Options

Oversized, heavy, and structural goods ship via specialist freight. Freight is calculated at checkout from estimated packaged volumetric or physical weight. Carrier depot audits may adjust the rate — if the increase exceeds 10%, we will contact you before processing.

Available options include:

✔ Delivery to your closest depot for pickup — default method
✔ Direct delivery — requires an operational forklift on site unless Tailgate Delivery has been specifically requested and quoted (contact us — this cannot be selected at checkout)
✔ Tailgate hydraulic lift delivery — must be specifically requested; contact us for a quote (not available as a checkout option; extra fees apply; required if you do not have a forklift)
✔ Forklift loading at our warehouse (no extra charge if you arrange your own freight)
✔ Direct truck delivery (available in Victoria)

Important Notes:

• Shipping costs vary by location and method
• Any carton or consignment over 25–30kg (or over 200cm) must be palletised
• Without a specifically requested and paid Tailgate Delivery quote, palletised freight requires a forklift on site — otherwise the carrier will redirect to the nearest depot
• Bulky and oversized items cannot be delivered to a PO Box — provide a physical street address
• Failed deliveries, locked gates, unattended sites, or incorrect business/forklift declarations may incur carrier redelivery, demurrage, and restocking fees as set out in our Terms & Conditions

Business Delivery:

• Selecting a business/commercial delivery rate warrants that the address has an operational forklift and certified operator during business hours
• If the carrier cannot unload, the consignment may be redirected to a depot and secondary fees may apply
• Additional fees may apply for failed delivery attempts due to lack of appropriate unloading equipment

See our Terms & Conditions (Article 8) for full freight and delivery rules.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse is a logistics hub, not a retail showroom. Listing a product online does not mean it is stored at our Thomastown warehouse — many lines ship from supplier hubs (split fulfilment may apply).

How lead times work:

• Product page ETA: The Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) / lead-time badge shown on the product page at checkout is the agreed delivery timeframe for that order under Australian Consumer Law.
• Metro baselines: Advertised ETAs apply to standard metropolitan zones. Regional and remote addresses may take longer and may attract surcharges.
• Peak seasons: Orders in March–May, August–October, EOFY (June), Black Friday/Cyber Monday (November), and Christmas/New Year (December–January) may automatically add a 2–4 week buffer beyond the product page ETA.
• Supplier-dependent / backordered items: If stock is delayed, we will notify you with a revised ETA. You then have 7 days to accept the new timeframe or cancel for a full refund.
• Adloheat: Custom-made products from Adloheat (Pakenham, VIC) may take 4–12 weeks depending on the order.

Full fulfilment, cancellation, and freight rules are in our Terms & Conditions.
