Sandbags
- Have to be replaced regularly which costs many thousands of pounds for big companies and local authorities that need palletised sandbags ready all year round for any emergency
- Can deteriorate if stored for a long time, especially in cold, damp warehouses
- Exceptionally unwieldy to lift and handle
- All kinds of health, safety and manual handling technique problems for staff who have to use them at businesses
- Messy with the sand easily washed out and adding to all the damage if they burst
- Heavy - hard to transport anywhere
- Need a lot of people to move any number anywhere
