Tarp Weight Water Bags – Water-Filled Weights for Tarps | 8-pack

A practical alternative to sandbags for securing tarps

Hippo Marine Water Weight Bags provide a simple way to weigh down a tarp without transporting heavy sandbags or using permanent attachment points. Each bag holds up to 4.5 liters of water in use, creating approximately 4.5 kg / 10 lbs of weight.

The bags are especially useful for winter boat storage and other situations where a tarp needs distributed weight along its edges. Attach the bags using bungee cords or suitable tie-downs to help maintain tension and reduce flapping and movement caused by wind.

The bags have extra capacity so the water has room to expand if it freezes. The flexible, UV-resistant construction is designed for repeated outdoor use.

One of the main advantages compared with sandbags is storage and transport. Instead of moving heavy weights, carry the bags empty, fill them with water where they are needed, then empty and fold them flat after use. Eight empty bags fit into the included mesh storage bag.

For an adjustable attachment system, combine the water weights with Hippo Marine Bungee Cords with Cord Lock 6620.

Q: What are tarp weights used for?
A: Tarp weights help hold tarps and covers in place and maintain tension, especially when wind can cause the material to move or flap.

Q: How do I keep a tarp from blowing away?
A: One method is to distribute weights around the edges of the tarp. Water-filled tarp weights provide removable weight without requiring permanent fixing points.

Q: What is a water bag tarp weight?
A: It is a flexible bag that is filled with water and attached to a tarp or cover to provide weight and help keep it tensioned.

Q: Are water weight bags an alternative to sandbags?
A: Yes. Water bags can be transported empty and filled where they are used, making them much lighter and more compact to transport and store than filled sandbags.

Q: How much does each Hippo water weight hold?
A: Each bag has a 5-liter capacity and should be filled with a maximum of approximately 4.5 liters, providing about 4.5 kg / 10 lbs of weight.

Q: Can the water freeze inside the bag?
A: The 5-liter bag is filled with a maximum of approximately 4.5 liters, leaving space for the water to expand if it freezes.

Q: Can the tarp weights be used for winter boat covers?
A: Yes. They are particularly suitable for distributing weight along the edges of winter tarps and boat covers.

Q: How are the bags stored after use?
A: Empty the water, fold the bags flat and store all eight in the included mesh storage bag.
