Step 3Using the Tubes
To use the tubes, you just need to flip it over and slide a bag on each tube. Roll it back upright and start shoveling to fill the bags. By design it will fill each bag to about 35lbs. Once you have filled all 6 tubes, pick it straight up and the sand will slide out of the tubes into the bags. Then you will have 6 perfectly filled sandbags.
As you could see from the video in the intro, it was easy for two young kids with small shovels to fill sandbags, averaging about 15 seconds a bag. This is at a work pace that almost anyone can do.
So there you have it, an hour of prepwork can save countless hours of bagging.

This would not add anything else to width of the project.
But, for those who will be carrying them in a hatchback or truck and will be using them with 2 people, having the side 2x4s about a foot longer so they stick out 6 inches on each side makes nice handles.
