Ton sack / bags

[jmac80]

Hi all

Anyone know of the name of the doodas that keep ton sacks open for ease of filling?

Or where i can order such a thing?

Would make life that bit easier

I think fuelwood.co.uk sell the dooda's your on about

I did check just after the apf on a price on them and they were very pricey.

So I spend couple of hours and knocked summit up out of scrap we had laying about.

That looks good mate, was thinking something a little more portable for taking to gardens.

Some kind of plastic frame around the top that would just support the empty bag and keep it open till it gets a bit of stuff in it and supports itself. (if that makes sense)

someone posted a pic a while back using the blue plastic water pipe threaded thru the loops formed into a circle, not sure what they improvised to hold the ends to close the circle, maybe drilling and something velcro, or just mole grips

That sounds like a bit of a plan, I have a heap of 15mm plastic water pipe here and speedfit quick connectors.

Could just use a speedfit fitting to join it! nice one will try that tomorrow

Assuming it's on grass (not a driveway!) you could push 4 road pins into the ground to hold the loops on the bag

I've used 2 scaffold bandstands to keep the bags open.

Put your feet in the bottom two loops and tie the other two round your waiste and throw rubbish in between your legs works a treat on hedge cuttings.

 

Or fold the bag over on itself on all four sides it will support itself then
