Customer Reviews for VEVOR Flood Barrier, 12 ft Length x 12 in Height Sandbag Alternative, Water Barrier for Flooding with Great Waterproof Effect, Reusable PVC Water Diversion Tubes, Flood Barriers for Home, Door, Garage

Ordered the 1ft wide/24 ft long model. Helped to protect my doorway and garage from recent floods. Might eventually get afew more to protect the rest of the house.

When I opened the box and saw the many pieces of wood, I was a little intimidated by the thought of assembling this box but once I started to tackle it, it wasn't too bad, took me maybe about an hour. Everything did go together nicely, and the wood does seem to be actual cedar as promised. It is not a full kit though, there is no top or bottom and you do need more parts to truly use this item as is explained further in the item description.

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.

This was a great purchase. Protected soil and rock runoff off from major rains. Heavy Duty and love the d rings.

Who thought we'd need this in the California desert! Came in so handy across our double garage door as our driveway regrettably slopes towards it. Called Vevor without luck though in my search for a garden hose adapter for ease of filling and, especially, for emptying as it is really much too heavy to move to empty in a safe location. So, in case this helps anyone else, here are the Home Depot parts I used to DIY my own adaptor. Works brilliantly to attach a garden hose to drain water either onto the lawn or into the gutter after a rainstorm has ended. Buy: Part #887480017090 3/4MGH X3/4MIP X1/2FIP Brass Adaptor (PVC part was unavailable so can substitute); Part #049081130664 1-1/2\" PVC Female Adapter SXFPT; Part #049081134709 1-1/2\" X 3/4\" PVC Bushing SPGXFPT Attach the Female Adapter to the PVC Bushing with PVC glue. Then using thread seal or silicone tape, connect the Brass Adaptor to the Bushing. Really hope this helps someone else to optimize this very good product!

I bought the Vevor Flood Barrier 24 ft last October. Didn't get to use it until last week. Well, it worked very well. It was very easy to set up. Just make sure you know where you want it. Once it is filled with water, it's impossible to move it. Every year after a heavy rain, we have to clean up the pool because all the rain water will washed out the dirt from the slope into the pool. The pool will turned brown. We had to clean the pool 3 to 4 times before it is usable again. After the rain, we can release the water into the pool or use it to water plants. I'm not sure how to dry it yet. We are expecting another rain storm next week. After that, I'll drain the water out and see how we can dry it and store it.

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

These come in handy and quick to use so that I could contain water and other debris while pressure washing
