    Hi Guys,

    I just bought 3 sacks of Sand put at the back of my pick-up bed. Where and what container can I buy to waterproof seal it? I'm thinking of bringing it to an upholstery shop to wrap it in synthetic leather..ok kayang idea ito?

    TIA

    instead of using synthetic leather, i saw some people using canvas or whatever it is called...yung gamit sa tent...green on one side then yellow naman on the other side, para sa sand bag nila. sealed yung sand inside, and the material used is really waterproof kasi gamit nga sa tent. its the same material na ginagamit ng mga sari sari stores as shade kapag nakatutok ang araw sa tindahan nila. hirap i explain, hope you got it.

    bro, i really don't know were they had it done, may nakita lang akong pick up na meron nun. anyway, i'm sure yung mga gumagawa ng tent, awning and canopies pwedeng gumawa nun for you.

    there are a lot of them listed sa yellow pages (under Canvas and Tents). try this one, since they have branches in different locations...baka merong malapit sa iyo:

    Village Tenthaus Las Piñas - 8723788
    Makati - 8955484
    QC - 922-0432

    There are also a number of stores along S. Padilla St., Manila...as listed sa yellow pages.

    A tarp is good for general purpose waterproofing. Just make sure you wrap it downwards para yung continuous side is above the sacks rather than below. But for good measure, wrap two tarps together.

    Kung walang tarp, yung clear sheet plastic used for large bags should work. If they're still in a bag form place the sandbags inside tapos just wrap the open end to seal it up.

    Balak ko sana ipatahi na sa upholstery shop. Thanks sa mga replies ninyo guys. Mbeige: I'll follow your illustration. Thanks a lot.

    Big help kasi talaga ang sand sa unladen pick-up bed.
